Master explorer Dirk Pitt takes on the adventure of his life when he embarks on a treasure hunt through some of the most dangerous regions of West Africa. Searching for what locals call the "Ship of Death," a long lost Civil War battleship that protects a secret cargo, Pitt and his wisecracking sidekick use their wits and clever heroics to help Doctor Eva Rojas when they realize the ship may be linked to mysterious deaths in the very same area.
