As Director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, Dirk Pitt has always had a knack for finding trouble. This time, though, trouble has found him. On a NUMA mission to the Black Sea to locate the wreck of a lost Ottoman Empire ship, Pitt and his friend Al Giordino respond to an urgent Mayday from a nearby freighter. But by the time they reach the area there's no one left alive just dead bodies and the smell of sulphur in the air. When a massive blast from the stern suddenly scuttles the ship, Pitt and Giordino are lucky not to add to the death toll. As they investigate the fate of the lost ship, they're plunged deep into an extraordinary series of discoveries. And when connections emerge between a desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov empire, a Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo, modern-day nuclear smugglers and a brilliant engineer developing cutting-edge drone technology, Pitt is face with the most dangerous challenge of his career. One that will threaten the lives of his family and friends.

In un caldo pomeriggio texano, Cindy Nance rivela a Doug Hoover due grandi segreti della vita. Il primo lo entusiasma, mentre il secondo, che i ragazzi crescono e devono lavorare, lo delude. Attraverso matrimoni falliti e lavori insoddisfacenti, Doug si rende conto della verità delle parole di Cindy. Deluso dal presente, cerca di rivivere le gioie del passato, decidendo di lasciare moglie e lavoro. Tuttavia, la sua vita cambia quando incontra Sue Jean, il sogno di una vita, e Royce, un vagabondo. I tre si ritrovano in un mondo avventuroso, dove la vita, la morte e l’amore assumono nuovi significati. In questo romanzo on the road, le emozioni si intrecciano in un caleidoscopio di follie narrative. La realtà e la magia si confondono, creando un universo in cui tutto sembra possibile. I sogni si mescolano alla vita reale, e le strade conducono esattamente dove si deve andare. Il tono ironico ricorda altri maestri texani, come Larry McMurtry, mentre l'assurdità della narrazione porta alla mente Thomas Pynchon.

Het hartverscheurende memoir vertelt het verhaal van Tami Oldham en haar verloofde Richard Sharp, die vanuit Tahiti zeilen onder een stralende blauwe lucht, met San Diego als eindbestemming. Minder dan twee weken in hun reis worden ze echter geconfronteerd met een van de meest catastrofale orkanen in de geschiedenis. Ze moeten vechten tegen zware regen, golven ter grootte van wolkenkrabbers en winden van 140 knopen. Richard bindt zichzelf aan de boot en stuurt Tami naar beneden voor haar veiligheid, waarna het stil wordt. Uren later ontwaakt Tami om te ontdekken dat de boot in puin ligt en Richard nergens te bekennen is. Adrift is het verhaal van Tami's wonderbaarlijke reis van eenenveertig dagen naar veiligheid op een verwoeste boot zonder motor en zonder masten, met weinig hoop op redding. Het is een verhaal van liefde en overleving op zee - een onvergetelijk verhaal over de veerkracht van de menselijke geest en de transcendente kracht van liefde.
