Jungles come in many forms. There are the steamy rain forests of the Burmese highlands. There are the lies and betrayals of the world of covert operations. And there are the dark and twisted thoughts of a man bent on near-global domination. To pull off their latest mission, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon must survive them all.AA devastating new weapon unleashed in thirteenth-century China...a daring rescue in the snowbound mountains along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border ... a woman gone missing in the jungles of northern Thailand and Myanmar...for Cabrillo and his crew, all of these events will come together-leading to the greatest threat against U.S. security that the world has ever known.

On December 7, 1941, five 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 Harbor. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, stumbles upon a shocking revelation 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 more than five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not ... the only reward is death

Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Maryland, they''re hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a small Second World War German U-boat. Inside the submarine they find a body and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon''s ''lost cellar''. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure. One that Hadeon Bondaruk a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from treasure''s one-time owner.

Pero, en su siguiente aventura, tropezarán con algo que está más allá de lo que nunca hubieran imaginado. Sam y Remi Fargo son los mejores en su trabajo: descubrir tesoros ocultos y extraordinarios alrededor del mundo. Pero en esta ocasion la mision a la que se enfrentan es muy diferente. Esta vez tienen que encontrar a dos personas desaparecidas. Asi se lo ha explicado su nuevo cliente, un poderoso magnate de Texas que desconoce el paradero de la persona a la que contrato para que diera con su padre. Los dos han desaparecido de la faz de la tierra sin dejar rastro. Incapaces de rechazar el reto, el audaz matrimonio se embarcara en una trepidante investigacion que les llevara hasta el antiguo reino tibetano de Mustang pasando por Nepal, Bulgaria, la India y China. En el peligroso recorrido habran de lidiar con traficantes de fosiles, un vetusto y misterioso cofre, un dirigible centenario# y un esqueleto que podria cambiar para siempre las teorias sobre la evolucion de la humanidad.

Sam and Remi Fargo return for the thrilling third adventure in the acclaimed new series. In Spartan Gold and Lost Empire, Clive Cussler brought readers into the world of husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo, whose passion and instinct for treasure-hunting has led to extraordinary discoveries-and perilous journeys. Their next adventure, however, might be their most astonishing yet. The Fargos are used to hunting for treasure, not people. But then a Texas oil baron contacts them with a personal plea: an investigator friend of the Fargos' was on a mission to find the oil baron's missing father-and now the investigator is missing, too. Would Sam and Remi be willing to look for them both? Though something about the situation doesn't quite add up, the Fargos agree to go on the search. What they find will be beyond anything they could have imagined. On a journey that will take them to Tibet, Nepal, Bulgaria, India, and China, the Fargos will find themselves embroiled with black-market fossils, a centuries-old puzzle chest, the ancient Tibetan kingdom of Mustang, a balloon aircraft from a century before its time . . . and a skeleton that could turn the history of human evolution on its head. Packed with the endless imagination and breathtaking suspense that are his hallmarks, The Kingdom once again proves that Clive Cussler is "just about the best storyteller in the business" (New York Post).

The present day: Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert combat ship Oregon have barely escaped a mission on the Congo River when they intercept a mayday from a defenceless boat under fire off the African coast. Cabrillo takes action, saving the beautiful Sloane Macintyre - who's looking for a long-submerged ship that may hold a fortune in diamonds. But what surprises Cabrillo is her story about a crazy fisherman who claims to have been attacked on the open sea by giant metal snakes in the same area.

For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits of the Oregon, a clandestine spy ship completely dilapidated on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated weaponry and intelligence-gathering equipment. Captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew of former military and spy personnel, it is a private enterprise, available for any government agency that can afford it - and now Cussler sends the Oregon on its most extraordinary mission yet. The crew has just completed a top-secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf, when they come across a cruise ship adrift in the sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and as Cabrillo tries to determine what happened, explosions rack the length of the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner's sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himself plunged into a mystery as intricate - and as perilous - as any he has ever known, and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for the human race . . . plans he may already be too late to stop.

La nueva misión de Juan Cabrillo, el enigmático capitán del barco Oregón que conocimos en El buda de oro (DeBolsillo, 2005), es difícil y comprometida. Junto con su equipo de expertos, debe encontrar un meteorito altamente radioactivo escondido en Groenlandia y reemplazarlo por una copia. Pero un multimillonario americano y una organizacion terrorista arabe se le han adelantado. El meteorito, al ser altamente radioactivo, en caso de romperse tendria un enorme poder de destruccion. Cabrillo debe recuperarlo para impedir una terrible masacre.

Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered how to artificially trigger such a shift, but then his work disappeared, or so it was thought. Now, the charismatic leader of an anti-globalization group plans to use it to give the world's industrialized nations a small jolt, before reversing the shift back again. The only problem is, it can't be reversed. Once it starts, there is nothing anyone can do. Austin, Zavala and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team have certainly faced dire situations before, but never have they encountered anything like this. This time even they may be too late.
