Crescent Dawn is the twenty-first Dirk Pitt book. Ostensibly, per the webpage and cover, it's by Clive Cussler with his son Dirk Cussler (not sure who was named after whom), but given that SYKM says that Clive Cussler died in 2020, and that the last few books were already co-written, it seems it really must have been written by just the son ???

In any case, it's on sale in the US for $0.99 right now.

Spoiler:

An ancient cargo long thought lost is found. With terrible consequences . . .

Dirk Pitt is surveying in the Middle East when a stroke of luck reveals an Ottoman wreck with a very curious cargo. While investigating the find, he foils a night raid on Istanbul's Topkapi Palace Museum. This puts Pitt at the centre of a race to acquire a series of legendary artefacts.

Meanwhile, the region is being pushed to the brink of war by a series of explosions across Turkey and Egypt. Finding that his search for the artefacts is linked to the attacks, Pitt must prevent a deranged brother and sister's fanatical plans succeeding...

Packed with breathtaking suspense and fired by an extraordinary imagination, Crescent Dawn is a barnstorming read starring Dirk Pitt for all fans of action, suspense and intrigue.
