From deep within the Venezuelan rain forest emanates the legend of a white goddess and a mysterious tribe with startling technical accomplishments. Few believe the tribe exists or suspect that its deity is capable of transforming history. An investigation into the sudden deaths of rare whales takes National Underwater & Marine Agency crew leader Kurt Austin to the Mexican cost where someone clearly wants him out of action.

Austin believes the legendary goddess may hold the key to a formula for turning vast amounts of seawater into fresh. But each step takes him and his NUMA team along a deadly, twisting trail of enemies through a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail and murder
