MU - The Enigma

di Tom McAuliffe (Autore)

Tom McAuliffe, 2025

Three years after uncovering Atlantis and rewriting history, Dr. Tessa Ross, Ethan Cole, and Captain Pete Kalogeras are drawn into an even deeper mystery — one that will pit them against the Chinese Navy, the CIA, and the most hostile waters on Earth. Award winning Author Tom McAuliffe brings the legend of MU, a lost Pacific civilization predating the Polynesians. It has been dismissed forever as fringe mythology. But newly discovered satellite anomalies and whispers from deep-sea survey crews suggest there is truth beneath the waves — structures lying far below the reach of light, in waters where the seafloor drops away like a black cliff into the unknown. From the docks of Honolulu Hawaii to the U.S. missile range at Kwajalein, the team gathers resources for an expedition that will test the limits of their deep-diving submersible, NIKI-1. Joining them is Lani Tupu, a Samoan ex–Navy SEAL and master diver whose calm presence masks the kind of skills that only come from years in covert operations. Their target: a trench in one of the most remote stretches of ocean on Earth — where the nearest land is farther away than the International Space Station. But the Pacific is not empty. The People's Liberation Navy has deployed a covert cable-cutting submersible, designed to sever undersea communication lines in wartime. The PRC wants no witnesses, especially not a crew hauling up artifacts that could change global maritime claims. The CIA, embodied in the calculating Captain Aaron Marshall, has its own agenda — a rumored Chinese nuclear device lost in these same waters during a 1978 weapons test gone wrong. As NIKI-1 descends into the abyss, the dangers multiply. A giant squid, larger than a semi-truck, attacks the sub, forcing the crew into a desperate fight for survival. The damage nearly ends the mission, but the discoveries ahead — stepped stone temples, gold tablets inscribed with a language bridging Mu, Atlantis, and Mediterranean cultures — prove too important to abandon. Each find pulls them closer to a truth the academic world has long denied: Mu was real, and its reach spanned oceans. Shadowed by armed frigates, hunted by black-ops divers, and betrayed by shifting alliances, Ross and her team must navigate a razor-thin line between discovery and destruction. For the CIA, the artifacts are leverage. For the PRC, they are evidence to be erased. For Tessa, they are proof of humanity's shared origin — something worth risking her life, her career, and the fragile trust of those around her. From ancient ruins to modern warships, from champagne receptions to the crushing dark four kilometers beneath the surface, 'Mu- The Enigma', book #4 in the Leviathan Protocol series, fuses pulse-pounding action with archaeological intrigue in a high-stakes thriller that will keep you hooked until the final page. History doesn't drown. It waits.
