Night Probe!

New York: Bantam Books. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. [minor wear to base of spine, front hinge a little weak; the jacket shows modest wear at the corners and edges, one tiny tear at upper front hinge, slight wrinkling at the top edge of the rear panel]. The intrepid Dirk Pitt is charged with locating and salvaging one of only two existing signed copies of a secret 1914 treaty between the United States and Great Britain -- of course it's been at the bottom of the ocean for 65 years or so -- because for some reason it's "the only salvation for an energy-starved, economically-devastated America." If he doesn't get it -- "against all odds," natch, and "with the future of virtually every person in the world at stake" -- then there'll be a war! Or something. Go, Dirk, Go! .
