Part of Dirk Pitt®, book 6
First published 1982
Naval commander Heidi Milligan stumbles upon a reference to the North American Treaty, a secret agreement between America and Britain that vanished beneath the Atlantic decades ago. The President sees this lost document as the nation's only hope against economic collapse and energy crisis. He calls on Dirk Pitt to locate the treaty in the ocean depths. Meanwhile, British master spy Brian Shaw receives orders to ensure the pact never surfaces. Shaw has collaborated with American agents before, but now he must work against them. Pitt descends into dangerous waters while Shaw orchestrates an elaborate scheme to thwart the recovery mission. The race becomes a test of skill between two professionals on opposite sides of an international conspiracy. At stake lies America's economic survival and the delicate balance of power between allied nations.
