When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, NUMA operatives Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't-that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter, extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions. From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster . . . but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

Per Juan Cabrillo e l’equipaggio della Oregon doveva essere una missione di routine: recuperare una collezione di dipinti per un valore di mezzo miliardo di dollari. Ma quando scopre che il leader di una fazione di ribelli filippini, Salvador Locsin, intende sfruttare i quadri per finanziare le sue attività illegali, Cabrillo e la sua squadra si ritrovano al centro di un intrigo internazionale. Locsin per giunta è entrato in possesso del progetto di uno dei segreti più letali della Seconda guerra mondiale: una droga sperimentata dai giapponesi, che trasforma un guerrigliero in una sorta di macchina immortale. Per fermare Locsin e scongiurare il rischio di un conflitto inarrestabile che sovvertirebbe gli equilibri mondiali, la Oregon non deve solo sconfiggere il comandante ribelle, ma anche un mercenario sudafricano deciso a impossessarsi della droga. Una missione condotta tra segreti del passato e nuovi scenari geopolitici che solo l’equipaggio della Oregon può affrontare.

Juan Cabrillo e l’equipaggio della Oregon devono affrontare la loro impresa più rischiosa quando, a seguito di un violento colpo in banca durante il Gran Premio di Monaco, i conti della Corporation vengono prosciugati. Per recuperare i suoi soldi, Juan dovrà unire le forze a quelle di un amico di vecchia data conosciuto durante i giorni alla CIA e scovare un hacker e uno spietato ex ufficiale della Marina militare ucraina. Ben presto Cabrillo e compagni scopriranno che la rapina era solo il primo passo di un piano che mira alla morte di milioni di persone e al crollo delle maggiori economie del mondo. L’elemento chiave? Un documento dal valore inestimabile creduto perso sin dal disastroso tentativo di invasione della Russia da parte di Napoleone. Duecento anni dopo, il segreto in esso contenuto potrebbe diventare l’arma che metterà in ginocchio l’intera Europa.

Come direttore dell'Agenzia Nazionale Sottomarina e Marina, Dirk Pitt ha sempre avuto un talento per trovare guai. Questa volta, però, i guai lo hanno trovato. Durante una missione della NUMA nel Mar Nero per localizzare il relitto di una nave perduta dell'Impero Ottomano, Pitt e il suo amico Al Giordino rispondono a un urgente Mayday da un mercantile nelle vicinanze. Ma quando arrivano nella zona, non c'è più nessuno vivo, solo cadaveri e l'odore di zolfo nell'aria. Quando un'esplosione massiccia dalla poppa affonda improvvisamente la nave, Pitt e Giordino sono fortunati a non aggiungersi al numero dei morti. Mentre indagano sul destino della nave perduta, vengono coinvolti in una straordinaria serie di scoperte. E quando emergono collegamenti tra un tentativo disperato del 1917 di preservare la ricchezza e il potere dell'impero Romanov, un bombardiere della Guerra Fredda perso con un carico mortale, contrabbandieri nucleari moderni e un brillante ingegnere che sviluppa tecnologie all'avanguardia per droni, Pitt si trova di fronte alla sfida più pericolosa della sua carriera. Una sfida che minaccerà la vita della sua famiglia e dei suoi amici.

It is 1906, and in New York City, the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand is on a spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson. Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Agency is hired to form a special Black Hand Squad, but the gangsters appear to be everywhere so much so that Bell begins to wonder if there are imitators, criminals using the name for the terror effect. And then the murders begin, each one of a man more powerful than the last, and as Bell discovers, to his dismay, the ultimate target may be the most powerful man of all.

Il detective Isaac Bell insegue un assassino attraverso i campi petroliferi del paese in questa avventura della serie storica bestseller. Mentre Bell cerca di ottenere un contratto governativo per indagare sul monopolio della Standard Oil di John D. Rockefeller, il caso prende una piega mortale. Un cecchino inizia a uccidere gli oppositori della Standard Oil e presto l'assassino, che spara con un'accuratezza straordinaria a distanze apparentemente impossibili, uccide il miglior testimone di Bell. Poi, il tiratore provoca un'esplosione terribile che incendia la raffineria indipendente della vittima. Bell convoca i suoi migliori detective per dare la caccia al misterioso killer. Ma gli omicidi—sparatorie, avvelenamenti, incidenti simulati—sono solo all'inizio mentre Bell insegue il suo avversario criminale fantasma dalle regioni affette dalla "febbre del petrolio" del Kansas e del Texas a Washington, D.C., fino all'enclave dei magnati di New York, ai campi petroliferi di Baku, in Russia, devastati dalla guerra, e di nuovo in America per un confronto finale e disperato. E questo sarà il più esplosivo di tutti.

Manca soltanto un ultimo collaudo. Ed è proprio in quel momento che un attentato sanguinario mette fine alla vita del progettista e distrugge il prototipo segreto del Sea Arrow, un nuovo modello di sottomarino, il più veloce, il più silenzioso e il più potente mezzo subacqueo che abbia mai solcato le acque. Se le cose fossero andate secondo i piani e il Sea Arrow fosse stato realizzato, l'America non avrebbe avuto rivali nel dominio dei mari.

Affiancato da un'affascinante agente del NCIS, Pitt indaga, mentre i pericoli per lui e per i suoi uomini si moltiplicano e la soluzione del mistero sembra sempre più lontana...
