Clive Cussler's NUMA Files novels follow Kurt Austin, leader of the National Underwater and Marine Agency's Special Assignments Team, and his colleague Joe Zavala, through globe-spanning adventure-thrillers mixing action, exotic locations and speculative science. Lost City finds them investigating a life-extending enzyme discovered deep in the North Atlantic, and the string of deaths and disappearances surrounding its discovery. Zero Hour, Nighthawk and the following novels continue Austin's missions, later written with Graham Brown after original co-author Paul Kemprecos.
