In Europa tobt der Erste Weltkrieg, doch die USA sind noch nicht beteiligt – noch! Ein neuer Auftrag für Isaac Bell. 1916: Noch sind die USA nicht in den Ersten Weltkrieg eingetreten. Dennoch wird Isaac Bell von Präsident Wilson als Beobachter abkommandiert. Als tapfere britische Piloten sich auf eine Mission mit wahrscheinlich tödlichem Ausgang begeben, kann Bell nicht anders, als sie zu begleiten. Im Gefecht gegen den Roten Baron wird er gefangen genommen. Doch das erweist sich als Glück im Unglück. Denn nur so erfährt Isaac Bell von dem teuflischen Plan, den Krieg auf Amerikas Straßen zu bringen. Noch in Gefangenschaft ist er der Einzige, der diesen Schrecken von den USA abwenden kann. Jeder Band ein Bestseller und einzeln lesbar. Lassen Sie sich die anderen Fälle von Isaac Bell, Amerikas fähigstem Privatermittler, nicht entgehen, zum Beispiel die packenden Action-Abenteuer »Seewölfe« oder »Die Fälscher«.

And while he's on the trail of thieves, killers, and sometimes much worse, he'll have to use his every last wit to stay ahead of those he seeks, and to stay alive . . .

An exhilarating new adventure in the bestselling Oregon Files series. For six novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. But the Oregon's seventh adventure is its most remarkable yet. On 7 December 1941, four brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbour. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Clive Cussler is hard to beat.'
