father.
Unfortunately, they are captured in New Zealand and taken aboard the Dorsett yacht, from which they
are set adrift in a small, inflatable boat to die in the ocean.
Luckily, they find the wreck of a sailboat on an island, fashion a larger wind-powered craft and make
their way toward civilization.
We learn that the acoustic waves created by Dorsett's operation will converge on Hawaii and wipe it
off the map if they are not stopped.
Meanwhile, Arthur Dorsett is out to corner the market in colored stones. He plans to flood the market
with diamonds to drive the price down to almost nothing, making colored stones more valuable.
A plan is developed to reflect Dorsett's acoustic waves. A giant parabolic dish will be lowered in the
ocean from the deck of the Howard Hughes-designed ship Glomar Explorer. Still at sea in their
fabricated craft, Pitt, Giordino and Fletcher finally reach Gladiator Island, home of the Dorsett clan.
The plan to divert the acoustic waves is successful, but the reflection sends the sound beam directly at
Gladiator island. Sandecker warns Pitt, but he doesn't have time to escape. When the wave hits, the
volcanoes erupt in a firestorm of ash and lava. Pitt kills Arthur and Deirdre Dorsett, while Giordino
eliminates Boudicca. In a plot twist Clive has used before, we learn Boudicca is actually a man dressed
and living as a woman.
Giordino escapes by helicopter with Maeve's twin sons, but with no more room on the helicopter, Pitt
and Maeve are forced to flee in the Dorsett yacht.
During a shower Of lava and ash, Pitt manages to steer the yacht into the ocean, but not before Maeve
dies in his arms. Loren Smith shows up at Pitt's apartment after he is rescued, but Dirk asks her just to
leave him alone.
