Manca soltanto un ultimo collaudo. Ed è proprio in quel momento che un attentato sanguinario mette fine alla vita del progettista e distrugge il prototipo segreto del Sea Arrow, un nuovo modello di sottomarino, il più veloce, il più silenzioso e il più potente mezzo subacqueo che abbia mai solcato le acque. Se le cose fossero andate secondo i piani e il Sea Arrow fosse stato realizzato, l'America non avrebbe avuto rivali nel dominio dei mari.

Dirk Pitt untersucht eine Umwelt-Katastrophe in der Karibik, da gerät er in einem Machtkampf auf Kuba zwischen die Fronten. Währenddessen forschen seine Kinder - Marine-Ingenieur Dirk und Ozeanografin Summer - nach einem Azteken-Artefakt, das den Fundort eines gigantischen Schatzes offenbaren soll. Doch es befand sich an Bord des Schlachtschiffs Maine, das 1898 im Hafen von Havanna zerstört wurde.

Die Sea Arrow ist bei Weitem das schnellste U-Boot, das jemals entwickelt wurde. Doch nun ist ein Schlüsselelement des Prototypen gestohlen worden, und der Entwickler ist tot. Zur selben Zeit verschwinden im Atlantik mehrere Schiffe. Die meisten werden niemals wiedergefunden. Aber wenn doch, befinden sich an Bord grausam verbrannte Leichen. Nur Dirk Pitt, der Direktor der NUMA, ist in der Lage, die Zusammenhänge aufzuklären.
