The Pharaoh's Secret by Clive Cussler
4.0

SPOILERS

Water from the water table below the Sahara desert is being stolen and stored in huge underground caverns to be used as a "hostage" and to force the north african countries governments to do certain things. The oases have all dried up which is bad for the bedouin and the turareg people.

The extremist group who planned this, want the governments of the north african countries to go back to the old ways where corruption was the norm, and to stop trying to be European and western in their outlooks.

NUMA gets called in to find out how the water is being "stolen" and to find and release it - which they do. This is also connected to the Egyptian campaign by Napoleon around 1800.
