1896: Four Englishmen flee for their lives across the merciless Kalahari Desert carrying a stolen fortune in raw diamonds and hunted by a fierce African tribe. The thieves manage to reach the waiting HMS Rove - only to die with their pursuers in a vicious storm that buries them all under tons of sand...The present day: Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert combat ship Oregon have barely escaped a mission on the Congo River when they intercept a mayday from a defenceless boat under fire off the African coast. Cabrillo takes action, saving the beautiful Sloane Macintyre - who's looking for a long-submerged ship that may hold a fortune in diamonds.But what surprises Cabrillo is her story about a crazy fisherman who claims to have been attacked on the open sea by giant metal snakes in the same area. What begins as a snake hunt leads Cabrillo on to the trail of a far more lethal quarry - a deranged militant and his followers who plan to unleash the devastating power of nature itself against all who oppose them. In his latest bestseller, Clive Cussler, the Grandmaster of Adventure, shows once again that when it comes to page-turning action, he's the man to beat.

Das NUMA-Team stößt vor der Küste Nicaraguas auf einen Palast, der vor langer Zeit im Meer versunken ist. Er scheint in einem geheimnisvollen Zusammenhang mit der Legende von Troja zu stehen. Gleichzeitig entdeckt Dirk Pitt ein gigantisches Tunnelsystem z

O tom, že australský miliardář Fletcher přišel ke svému diamantovému bohatství ne právě čestnými metodami, není sporu. Avšak když v touze po mamonu ohrozí nejen ekologickou rovnováhu světových moří, ale i lidstvo, je to signál pro agenturu NUMA a starého známého Dirka Pitta, aby vytáhli do boje plného nástrah a ohromujících dobrodružství. Jako obvykle zasadil nekorunovaný král dobrodružného románu Američan Clive Cussler své dílo z roku 1996 do nedaleké budoucnosti. Ke smrtící katastrofě má podle jeho scénáře dojít roku 2000. Jako obvykle však Dirk Pitt, který má rysy Jamese Bonda i Indiana Jonese, překoná veškeré nástrahy a s nasazením vlastního života zachrání životy druhých. Kritika se shodla, že třináctka přinesla autorovi štěstí – vytvořil dosud své nejčtivější dílo.

Potopil se parník Andrea Doria nešťastnou náhodou? Co ukrývalo obrněné vozidlo na palubě? Kdo byli muži, kteří před katastrofou údajně napadli stráže vzácného nákladu? Zmocnili se jej, nebo leží v hlubinách? Jak souvisí nález Kolumbovy mumie s aktivitami texaského boháče Halcona, za nímž se kupí mrtví? To je úkol pro NUMA - dnes bez Dirka Pitta.

Juan Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a very comfortable and very dangerous living from working for high-powered Western interests. But their newest clients have come from the east—the Far East—to a

An ancient treasure stolen by Xerxes the Great . . . Discovered by Napoleon Bonaparte . . . The clues to its hidden location lost until now . . . Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Maryland, they're hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a small Second World War German U-boat. Inside the submarine they find a body - and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure. One that Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from treasure's one-time owner. It will be his, no matter who stands in his way . . .
