The NUMA Files saga continues with an exhilarating new adventure as Kurt Austin races to Antarctica to thwart a chilling plot that threatens the entire planet.

A research ship has mysteriously found itself adrift off the coast of Antarctica. Weeks prior, one of the crew members sent a distress message to NUMA, claiming to have made a groundbreaking discovery. However, there has been no further communication since. Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala, two of NUMA's top agents, are dispatched to investigate the situation.

Upon their arrival, they discover a sinking ship, with the crew brutally murdered and the vessel ransacked. One crucial research scientist is missing. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a secret that could change the course of human history.

What was discovered on the research ship? Who wanted it so badly that they were willing to kill everyone in their path? And where did they disappear to? Kurt knows that he must travel to Antarctica to uncover the truth. However, he is not only risking his life in the freezing temperatures, treacherous avalanches, and blinding blizzards.

Someone is preparing to unleash a weapon of unimaginable power using this secret discovery. Unless Kurt can find them first, the world as we know it could be in grave danger.
