About this listen

NUMA crew leaders Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala must beat the clock to stop the world's most dazzling new technological advance from becoming mankind's last in this action-packed thriller from the New York Times best-selling grand master of adventure.

When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't - that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions.

From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster...but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

I love listening to one of Clive's books while working. Great storyline, characters are well done. The only thing that I wish is that I would love to have known what island they washed up on.

As always the author paints his story with words. The reader brings those words to life. So well done take care if you listen while driving. It would be hard to explain that you were trying to save the world. Well maybe the judge has been carried away by great audio. I must leave now as yet another Clive Cussler story is calling for me.

Great Story made better by a talented delivery!

Not bad but sometimes the books are getting a bit predictable.
Hope the next one has a better plot twist.

A new adventure.

Excellent, Cussler seems to have thrown his formulas out the window and started back to his former way of just being an excellent storyteller.

I love listening to books Scott Brick narrates.. Having it be a Kurt Austin novel was an added benefit. The book took a little time to really get started but once it did, it was a good solid story. I like the Kurt Austin novels only beaten by the stories of the Oregon files. Enjoy!

Good book, not the best but solid story

Two five star books in a row!
Exciting, thrilling, funny and dangerous. This is the definition of "page turner".
I congratulate​ the three authors of the last two books. Fine work, and thanks for the enjoyment.

All hail Clive Cussler.

Would you listen to Nighthawk again? Why?

No. I am not good at listening or reading a book a second time.

What did you like best about this story?

I like all of Clive Cussler's books. they are well written and keep you interested.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He was easy to listen to and the book was interesting. However, at times he actually sounded like he was reading and not telling a story as some of the others that I have listened to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It takes me a while to listen to an entire story, as I only listen when I am driving or working out.

Love Clive Cussler
