Eventyrlig og gåtefull dramatikk under ørkenens brennende sol. I 1865 slår konføderasjonshærens flaggskip Texas seg gjennom unionsstyrkenes blokade og forsvinner på Atlanteren idet Richmond faller. Unionssoldatene sverger på at de så Abraham Lincoln om bord. I 1931 forsvinner den verdensberømte australske flygeren Kitty Mannock i Sahara. Hun er alene i flyet og i ferd med å sette en ny halsbrekkende rekord på strekningen London - Cape Town. Alle leteaksjoner er resultatløse. Og i 1996 blir en gruppe turister angrepet av kannibaler under et besøk i en liten ørkenlandsby. Dirk Pitt redder forskeren Eva Rojas fra et brutalt mordforsøk. Hun er medlem av et internasjonalt helseteam sendt til Nord-Afrika for å finne årsaken til en mystisk sykdom som har ført til at tusenvis av mennesker er døde, og som kan utslette alt liv i havet. Ligger sannheten om disse grufulle hendelsene og sammenhengen mellom dem begravd i Saharas glohete sand?
august 1934 tar et bombefly av fra Alaska på vei mot Japan. Lasten er en dødbringende tredje atombombe. Men flyet blir skutt ned, styrter i havet og forsvinner med sin dystre hemmelighet. Etter krigen blir skandalen dysset ned - og senere blir den glemt. Femti år senere har et nytt japansk imperium vokst frem basert på finansiell makt mer enn militær styrke. I Nemesis møter vi igjen det uslåelige Dirk Pitt som kjemper mot en forbløffende og brutal sammensvergelse med målet å sørge for at Japan blir verdens ledende stormakt. Med sjarm og oppfinnsomhet reagerer han på utfordringene fra sine mektige motstandere som mobiliserer sine enorme tekniske ressurser og kombinerer dem med sine urgamle krigstradisjoner.
Juan Cabrillo og mannskapet hans mottar et nødrop fra en forsvarsløs båt som er under angrep ved Afrikas kyst. Cabrillo handler raskt og redder den vakre Sloane Macintyre. Hun er på leting etter et sunket skip som skal være lastet med en formue i diamanter. Cabrillo er imidlertid mer interessert i historien hennes om en gal fisker som påstår at han har blitt angrepet av gigantiske slanger på åpen sjø, i det samme området. Det som begynner som en slangejakt, fører Cabrillo på sporet av noe langt farligere – en mentalt forstyrret kriger og hans tilhengere. De planlegger å slippe løs naturens egne destruktive krefter for å stoppe dem som motarbeider dem.
DIRK PITT'S FIRST, MOST TERRIFYING ADVENTURE Dirk Pitt, death-defying adventurer and deep-sea expert, is put to the ultimate test as he plunges into the perilous waters of the Pacific Vortex--a fog-shrouded area where dozens of ships have vanished without a trace. The latest victim is the awesome supersub Starbuck, bearing America's deep-diving nuclear arsenal. Its loss poses an unthinkable threat to national defense. Pitt's job is to find it and salvage it before international forces beat him to the prize or the sea explodes in a nuclear blast--whichever comes first. Pitt's mission also leads him into the arms of Summer Moran, the most stunningly exotic and dangerous woman ever to enter his life. As the countdown heads toward disaster, Pitt has no choice but to descend through the shark-infested depths to an ancient sunken island, from which he may never again emerge to see the light of day.
Ex-CIA ship captain Juan Cabrillo leads the crew of the Oregon on a quest to save a kidnapped politician in this adventure in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many different varieties. There are the pirates who fought off the Barbary Coast in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporary pirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, and the pirates...who look like something else. When the U. S. secretary of state's plane crashes while bringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrusting the Libyans, hire Juan Cabrillo to search for her, and their misgivings are well founded. The crew locates the plane, but the secretary of state has vanished. It turns out Libya's new foreign minister has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillo cannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two- hundred- year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamic scrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? The answers will lead him full circle into history, and into another pitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic terrorists, and with the fate of nations resting on its outcome.
A Dirk Pitt adventure with an underwater graveyard in the Pacific Northwest, a mysterious seaport in the Louisiana bayous, and a diabolical plot to destroy America When NUMA agent Dirk Pitt rescues a beautiful undercover agent in a daring underwater operation at Orion Lake, just north of Seattle, he confronts a sinister network run by Qin Shang, a ruthless smuggler who sells Chinese immigrants into slavery. Shang's campaign contributions have bought him a collection of powerful U. S. politicians, but Pitt is not a man to be subverted by politics. As he moves to probe Shang's mystifying seaport in the Louisiana bayous, his investigation involves him in an adrenaline-pumped race up the Mississippi River and a desperate dash to recover sunken Chinese treasures lost half a century before. And in Qin Shang, Pitt faces ones of his most formidable foes--a madman bent on killing thousands of innocent civilians with a catastrophic surge of mass destruction.

Sjøhelten Juan Cabrillo er tilbake i denne action-fylte spenningsboken fra Clive Cussler. På det avsidesliggende Grønland har en ung vitenskapsmann funnet en 50 000 år gammel gjenstand – en meteoritt.

Funnet plasserer ham i skuddlinjen for to motstridende terroristgrupper som begge vil ha steinen til egne formål. Den ene er en gruppe muslimske ekstremister. Den andre gruppen er ledet av en forretningsmann som ønsker å utslette hele den islamske verden. Midt mellom disse militante gruppene befinner Juan Cabrillo seg. Med sitt skip bemannet med en privat hær av leiesoldater, kjent som Selskapet, er han kanskje den eneste som kan hindre starten på en ny verdenskrig.

In the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Oregon Files series, Chairman Juan Cabrillo and his crew are hired by the US government to free Tibet from Chinese control... The Corporation, a group of highly intelligent and skilled mercenaries, under the leadership of Juan Cabrillo, board a brand new ship.

With the secret backing of the US government, Cabrillo sets out to put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by striking a deal with the Russians and the Chinese. His main negotiating chip is knowledge of a golden Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land. But first, he'll have to locate--and steal--the all-important artifact. And there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail...

The only problem is, it cannot be reversed. Once it starts, there is nothing anyone can do.
