      Se conoce como punto cero de energía y no es un mito de la ciencia. Este estado de la energía que se encuentra en la materia y que ofrece posibilidades ilimitadas existe realmente. Son muchos los expertos que han tratado de desentrañar este gran misterio de la física, pero no han tenido éxito... hasta ahora. Un excéntrico científico, que ha sido rechazado y denigrado por la comunidad internacional, parece haber hallado la fórmula. Para vengarse del mundo, y en especial de todos aquellos que lo despreciaron, ha construido dos máquinas capaces de provocar terribles terremotos y crear fisuras en las placas tectónicas. Desde las llanuras de Australia hasta la virulenta naturaleza de una isla de hielo en el océano Antártico, Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala y el resto del equipo de la NUMA deberán encontrar las dos máquinas que han desencadenado esta situación límite: si no lo hacen pronto, las consecuencias del cambio geológico podrían ser fatales.

      Una catástrofe marítima ocurrió en 1859 en las aguas antárticas, donde se hundió un barco británico que transportaba prisioneros a trabajos forzados en Australia, y solo ocho náufragos sobrevivieron. Su destino dejó de interesar al gobierno británico, fueron declarados muertos y el caso se olvidó. Casi ciento cincuenta años después, la antigua tragedia resurge en inesperadas circunstancias. Un descendiente de uno de los condenados se ha convertido en uno de los hombres más ricos del mundo, pero sus métodos despiadados para acumular riqueza generan controversia. Dirk Pitt, quien trabaja para NUMA, una agencia dedicada a prevenir y combatir intervenciones ilegales en la ecología marina, se ve obligado a actuar cuando delfines y leones marinos comienzan a morir inexplicablemente en el mar de Weddell. La intervención de este magnate australiano en el equilibrio biológico de los océanos obliga a Pitt a embarcarse en su misión número trece para salvar no solo las aguas amenazadas, sino también una parte significativa de la humanidad y su civilización.

In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumble across the pillars in the Pennine Alps. Unable to transport them Napoleon creates a map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. And when Napoleon dies, the bottles disappear. Treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a World War II German u-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar.' Fascinated, the Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection. But another connoisseur of sorts has been looking for the bottle they've just found. He is Hadeon Bondaruk - a half- Russian, half-Persian millionaire. He claims to be a descendant of King Xerxes himself. And he wants his treasure back.

      Per Dirk Pitt, semplicemente, una vita senza avventura non è degna di essere vissuta. Questa volta l'avventura si chiama Qin Shang, un abietto cinese privo di scrupoli e avido di ricchezze che ha fondato il proprio impero sul contrabbando di droga, di armi e soprattutto di vite umane, la sua merce di scambio preferita, al centro di loschi traffici d'immigrazione illegale. E adesso Qin Shang è disposto a qualsiasi cosa pur d'impadronirsi del relitto di una misteriosa nave carica di capolavori dell'antica arte cinese razziati da Chiang Kaishek durante la sua fuga dalla Cina e comprendente i resti preziosissimi del cosiddetto uomo di Pechino. La formidabile squadra della NUMA, comandata da Dirk Pitt, non ha però alcuna intenzione di stare a guardare. Seguendo le tracce di Qin Shang ha costruito un'enorme installazione portuale in una zona lontana dalle comuni rotte commerciali. Perchè ha scelto un luogo così improbabile? Che cosa si nasconde dietro quell'impresa? Mentre si prepara la drammatica resa dei conti finale, una sola cosa è sicura. Pitt ha di fronte il più pericoloso nemico che abbia mai incontrato...

Now, the crew faces their greatest challenge yet. Corsairs, or pirates, come in various forms—from those who battled on the Barbary Coast to modern-day marauders in Africa and Asia. When the U.S. secretary of state's plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, the CIA enlists Cabrillo to find her, fueled by distrust of the Libyans. Their concerns prove justified when the crew discovers the plane but not the secretary. Libya's new foreign minister has his own agenda for the conference, which Cabrillo must thwart. The situation ties back to a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and ancient Islamic scrolls that the Libyans are desperately seeking. The unfolding events will draw Cabrillo into a historical confrontation at sea against Islamic terrorists, with the fate of nations hanging in the balance. Readers will be captivated by the thrilling action and daring exploits of Cabrillo and his crew, as highlighted by "Publishers Weekly" regarding the "Oregon" Files series.

      Reading Clive Blake's latest anthology is a life-affirming experience; light-hearted and comical, introspective and challenging. In this rhythmic exploration of both the mundane and the cosmic aspects of existence, no stone is left the promise of childhood, the uncertainties of youth and ageing, environmental apocalypse, ‘disabilit-ease', historic whodunnits, love, death and escapee milk bottles, to name a few. Clive Blake's creativity and passion stems from his solid Cornish roots, captured in his reflections on the simple grandeur of the Cornish landscape. Perhaps it is this love of his native surroundings which lends his writing a rare sense of humility and groundedness. Although some of these poems are imbued with a quiet nostalgia, there is also an overwhelming sense of awe at life, at what it has to offer if one is brave enough to look within. And, of course, the poems come with a ‘no thoughts have been harmed during the making of this book'!

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.'

With Spartan Gold, a daring thriller that Publishers Weekly proclaimed "solidly in the Cussler tradition, [and] sure to please new fans and old," Clive Cussler introduced husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo. In their electrifying new adventure, the Fargos make a startling discovery that others would kill to keep hidden...

An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery-but unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico's ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artifact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly. Through Tanzania and Zanzibar, into the rainforests of Madagascar, and across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia and the legendary site of the 1883 Krakatoa explosion, the Fargos and their ruthless opponents pursue the hunt-but only one can win. And the penalty for failure is death. Filled with the dazzling suspense and breathtaking action that are Cussler's trademarks, Lost Empire is a stunning new novel from the grand master of adventure.

      Leader of the NUMA Special Assignments team, Kurt Austin must work with a former KGB spy to save the United States from a lunatic with a generations-spanning grudge in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. Kurt Austin is preparing for an interview while aboard a research vessel in the Black Sea. But his television spot suddenly becomes a rescue mission when the waiting film crew is attacked on a nearby island. With little information on the attackers, and no clue to their true agenda, Austin is forced to turn to an unlikely source: his old KGB Cold War adversary Vladimir Petrov. According to Petrov, the island is actually an old submarine base that’s been commandeered by clever mobster-turned-billionaire-businessman Mikhail Razov. Razov is certain he descends from the great Romanov family and he’s out to reclaim his rightful position as czar of Russia. With a powerful resource called “fire ice”, discovered by his mining company, Razov may just have the ammunition he needs to take over the modern world. To stop him, Austin will have to work with Petrov. And he’ll have to find out fast how much trust he can offer an old nemesis in this thrilling adventure that “goes down like a chilled Stolichnaya martini.” (Kirkus Reviews)
