Flood Tide is an adventure novel by Clive Cussler. This is the 14th book featuring the author’s primary protagonist, Dirk Pitt. While recovering from his injuries suffered a month earlier as told in Shock Wave, Dirk stumbles upon mysterious activities around a peaceful lake in Washington state. He must rescue illegal immigrants being smuggled into the US for a life of slavery and abuse by a Chinese tycoon and locate the bones of the Peking Man, the famous lost example of Homo erectus. This book also introduces Juan Cabrillo and some of the Corporation of the future Oregon Files series of books.
