Anyone can escape danger. No one can escape the truth.

When a ship full of Sith warriors arrived in Galactic Alliance space, the fight to destroy it accidentally uncovered a hidden menace: a long-hidden group of clones, secretly created as insidious weapons capable of wielding the Force and heedless of the differences between light side and dark side. Now the clones have escaped—and evidence suggests that they are flawed by genetic disease and violent madness.

Jedi Knight Jaden Korr pursues the clones, hoping to heal them but prepared to destroy them. What he doesn’t know is that Sith agents are hot on his heels, determined not only to recover the clones for their Master but to capture Jaden for their own dark-side purposes. In a life-or-death battle, Jaden will confront a shocking reality that will rock him to his core and bring him face-to-face with the question of what makes a man . . . and a Jedi.

When Kurt Austin, the leader of a courageous National Underwater & Marine Agency exploration team, rescues beautiful marine archaeologist Nina Kirov off the coast of Morocco, he becomes the next target of Texas industrialist Don Halcon. A madman bent on carving a new nation out of the southwestern United States and Mexico, Halcon's scheme hinges on Nina's recent discovery involving Christopher Columbus, and a priceless pre-Columbian antiquity buried in the battered remains of the sunken Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria. Only Kurt Austin and his crack NUMA team stand between Halcon and the Andrea Doria's silent steel hull -- and if their deadly mission fails, Halcon will ride to power on a wave of death and destruction.

The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps up the action and brings readers face-to-face for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order's Dark Lords—Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Hope” game trailers.

Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous—something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.

Her name is Aryn Leneer—and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she's going to find out what happened to him, even if it means breaking every rule in the book.

From the mean streets of Sembia…
 
Erevis Cale might just seem like just another loyal butler for just another wealthy family in the merchant realm of Sembia, but he has always been a whole lot more than that. When the world itself is threatened, Erevis Cale takes it personally, and takes the fight all the way to the Plane of Shadow.

This massive trade paperback omnibus edition collects Twilight Falling, Dawn of Night, and Midnight’s Mask into one book.

KURT AUSTIN -- CLIVE CUSSLER'S NEW HERO FOR THE MILLENNIUM -- BATTLES TO STOP A BILLIONAIRE TYCOON FROM ACHIEVING WORLD DOMINATION

BLUE GOLD

An investigation into the sudden deaths of a pod of gray whales leads National Underwater & Marine Agency leader Kurt Austin to the Mexican coast, where someone tries to put him and his mini-sub permanently out of commission. Meanwhile, in South America's lush hills, a specially assigned NUMA team discovers a mysterious tribe, a mythical white goddess, and a murderous cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal secrets worth millions.

Soon, Austin and his crew realize they're working opposite ends of the same grand scheme and must race against time to save the world's freshwater supply from a twisted eco-extortionist. But every step toward salvation takes them deeper into a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail, and death.

After an undersea lab conducting research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa mysteriously disappears and a bathysphere harboring Joe Zavala is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left helpless on the sea floor, Kurt Austin puts the NUMA® Team on the case, a high-stakes endeavor that aims to save the lives of millions. (Action & adventure).

A plague that threatens to eradicate millions...

A ruthless cabal on a quest for domination...

Mysterious undersea events lead Kurt Austin and the NUMA team to discover a hideous series of medical experiments, an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization, and a secret new virus that threatens to set off a world-wide pandemic.

La giovane e bellissima dottoressa Song Lee è un'esperta virologa, che ha pagato a caro prezzo il suo desiderio di trasparenza e verità durante l'epidemia di Sars. Non ha rispettato l'ordine di segretezza impartito dal governo di Pechino, e per questo è stata allontanata, segregata a fare il medico generico in una remota provincia della Repubblica Popolare. Ma un tragico evento la richiama al centro della scena: un virus ancora più terribile sta minacciando il mondo, e Cina e Usa hanno unito gli sforzi per trovare un vaccino. Condotta in Florida, la dottoressa Lee partecipa a ricerche febbrili che sono la sola speranza di evitare una pandemia: proprio dal mare, dai suoi abitanti più antichi e misteriosi, le meduse, potrebbe venire la salvezza, come sembrano testimoniare persino alcune leggende. Le fasi finali della ricerca si tengono in un laboratorio segretissimo, nascosto nelle profondità dell'oceano Pacifico. Un laboratorio che però scompare misteriosamente nel nulla, così come tutti i ricercatori che ci lavorano. Solo Kurt Austin e i suoi amici della NUMA possono, forse, rintracciarlo, mettere in salvo gli scienziati e impedire la catastrofe. La sfida, però, questa volta è quasi impossibile: il nemico da combattere ha molte facce, ed è molto, forse troppo pericoloso e difficile da scovare? La serie dei Numa Files di Clive Cussler: quando vita e romanzo si intrecciano. La National Underwater Marine Agency (NUMA) è una società fondata da Clive Cussler per il recupero di navi e aerei scomparsi in circostanze misteriose. Protagonisti dei romanzi della serie sono l'affascina

An ancient Sith ship hurtles into the future carrying a lethal cargo that could forever destroy Luke Skywalker’s hopes for peace.
 
The Civil War is almost over when Jedi Knight Jaden Korr experiences a Force vision so intense he must act. Enlisting two salvage jocks and their ship, Jaden sets out into space. Someone—or something—appears to be in distress.

But what Jaden and his crew find confounds them. A five-thousand-year-old dreadnaught—bringing with it a full force of Sith and one lone Jedi—has inadvertently catapulted eons from the past into the present. The ship’s weapons may not be cutting-edge, but its cargo, a special ore that makes those who use the dark side nearly invincible, is unsurpassed. The ancient Jedi on board is determined to destroy the Sith. But for Jaden, even more is at stake: for his vision has led him to uncover a potentially indestructible threat to everything the Jedi Order stands for.

After an undersea lab conducting research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa mysteriously disappears and a bathysphere harboring Joe Zavala is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left helpless on the sea floor, Kurt Austin puts the NUMA® Team on the case, a high-stakes endeavor that aims to save the lives of millions. Simultaneous.

Baghdad, 2003: l'invasione americana apre la strada al saccheggio del museo nazionale, da cui spariscono capolavori di valore inestimabile. Ma c'è qualcuno che è interessato solo al Navigatore, una statua di bronzo fenicia senza particolari attrattive, che non compare nemmeno negli elenchi ufficiali. Eppure chi lo vuole è disposto a tutto, anche a uccidere. E la prima vittima non tarda ad arrivare: un losco trafficante di antichità, eliminato a sangue freddo. Il secondo bersaglio è Carina Mechadi, coraggiosa (e affascinante) funzionaria dell'Unesco, incaricata del recupero dei tesori scomparsi.... E a questo punto è inevitabile che scendano in campo Austin e gli uomini della Numa. Quale segreto nasconde la statua? Alla ricerca di un bandolo della complicata matassa, Austin e i suoi si troveranno coinvolti in un'odissea nel tempo e nello spazio che li porterà sulle tracce del tesoro di Salomone, passando per un misterioso archivio di documenti cifrati del terzo presidente degli Stati Uniti, Thomas Jefferson, fino a un piano top secret dai risvolti terribili...

For seven books, Clive Cussler has dazzled readers with the “spine-tingling adventures” (Chicago Tribune) of Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA® Special Assignments Team, but in Medusa the NUMA® team faces what may be its most perilous mission of all.

In the Micronesian Islands, a top secret, U.S. government– sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa suddenly . . . disappears. At the same time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left helpless a half mile below the surface, its passengers—including Zavala—left to die. Only Kurt AustinÂ's heroic measures save them from a watery grave, but, suspecting a connection, Austin puts the NUMA® team on the case. He has no idea what heÂ's just gotten them all into. A hideous series of medical experiments . . . an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization . . . a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic. Austin and Zavala have been in tight spots before, but this time itÂ's not just their own skins theyÂ're trying to save—itÂ's the lives of millions.

Filled with the high-stakes suspense and boundless invention unique to Cussler, Medusa is the most thrilling novel yet from the grand master of adventure.

Years after an ancient Phoenician statue is stolen from the Baghdad museum, a series of murders sparks interest in the statue's relevance in Austin and Zavala, who lead the NUMA team on a historical investigation into the lost treasures of King Solomon. Reprint.

In natura esiste un fenomeno elettromagnetico che può provocare violenti terremoti, onde anomale, maremoti, eruzioni vulcaniche e variazioni climatiche. Alla massima potenza, è in grado di cancellare ogni forma di vita sulla Terra. Si chiama «slittamento polare». Negli anni '40 del Novecento qualcuno scoprì il modo di innescare artificialmente tale slittamento: fu il professor Kovacs, uno scienziato ungherese fortunosamente sfuggito ai nazisti - che intendevano rapirlo per utilizzare i suoi studi a scopi bellici - e scomparso poi nel nulla insieme al materiale delle sue ricerche. Ma ora qualcuno sembra aver messo le mani sui Teoremi di Kovacs: il leader di un gruppo di sedicenti anarchici no global, che progetta di dare una piccola scossa ammonitrice alle nazioni industrializzate prima di rimettere tutto a posto. Il rischio è altissimo, poiché lo slittamento non è reversibile e la catastrofe sembra inevitabile. A meno che qualcuno non conosca l'antidoto per evitarla... Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala e i compagni della Squadra Missioni Speciali della NUMA hanno già affrontato missioni ad alta tensione, ma mai si sono misurati con una sfida del genere. Questa volta anche per loro potrebbe essere troppo tardi.

II reame di Sembra vede il ritorno del suo eroe più oscuro e tormentato, l'assassino Erevis Cale: egli non sa che ciò che si cela nel buio è l'inizio di una guerra che devasterà i Reami Dimenticati, e avrà come posta in gioco le anime stesse dei viventi. In questo oscuro conflitto, Erevis imparerà che non tutte le ombre servono fedelmente la magia della Trama d'Ombra...

The invasion of the arch-wizards is on!

The archwizards of Shade Enclave have come out of the desert with a message of peace, and an act of war. Split by petty disputes and causeless feuds, the merchant realm of Sembia is wide open for invasion, and with no shortage of Sembians more than happy to sell out to the Shadovar, can only one man--even if that man is Erevis Cale--do anything to stop it?

When the leader of an antiglobalization group plans to use the sixty-year-old findings of a Hungarian genius to create a polar shift and give the industrialized nations a jolt before reversing the effect, the NUMA Special Assignments Team must stop him. Reprint.

Kurt Austin è la nuova punta di diamante della Naval Underwater Marine Agency oggi diretta dal mitico Dirk Pitt. E insieme al fido Joe Zavala deve affrontare una serie di misteri apparentemente slegati tra loro ma che, se non risolti in tempo, potranno causare una catastrofe planetaria. Quale rapporto c'è tra il corpo di un aviatore d'inizio Novecento trovato congelato in un ghiacciaio e un elmo del XVI secolo? Chi o cosa sono le creature mostruose che massacrano i partecipanti a un reality show nelle isole Orcadi? Mentre a Kurt si avvicina una affascinante e temeraria fanciulla che potrebbe nascondere segreti pericolosi, la scoperta di una gigantesca cavità sul fondo dell'oceano, denominata la Città Perduta, sconvolge il mondo scientifico. Ma non basta. La diffusione di un'alga mutante particolarmente aggressiva e venefica diffonde terrore e imprevedibili sconvolgimenti nell'ecosistema marino. Tuttavia non si tratta solo di strani fenomeni naturali: Kurt e Joe scoprono infatti che c'è una grande multinazionale decisa a sfruttare la situazione per ottenere il controllo dei mari e, forse, anche della vita sulla Terra.

The Lady has spoken to me.

It has already begun.

Shadows move out of the shrinking desert, south to the rich and arrogant cities of Sembia.

“Be brave, little man,” says the shadowman, and the boy thinks his voice is surprisingly soft. “Stay with your mother. This will be over soon.”

The shadows swallow him and he is gone.

On the edge of a war that will change the face of Faerûn, the world will find that not all shadows serve Shade.

“Finding someone to finish a series after five novels from five different authors is no easy task. He's got to be willing to find all the open roads the others have left for him. He's got to do his homework, and quickly. And given the quality of his predecessors' work, he's got to be good . . . Enter Paul Kemp. Whew! Writers like this don't come along every day.”

THE SPIDER QUEEN LIVES AGAIN

But something is different, something her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and for a select few see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more dangerous, more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces– killing, eating, and killing again–the blasted landscape of Lolth's personal hell is still forming.

Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to Lolth's side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along?

The final novel in an epic six-part series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore, and a select group of the newest, most exciting authors in the genre. Join them as they bring an end to a devastating war, and give birth to the greatest horror the Realms has ever known.

Danifae Yauntyrr, former battle-captive of House Melarn, has come too far to stop now. She has regained her freedom after years of servitude, but has yet to exact her revenge. Though she has gained much, grown in both power and ambition, and enjoys the protection of the powerful draegloth Jeggred Baenre, Danifae still needs to kill Halisstra Melarn. But how can she when she's followed Quenthel and Pharaun into the heart of Lolth's reformed domain, a hellish world of demonic spiders bent on eating each other, and anything else stupid enough to get in their way–including the chosen vessel of Lolth herself.

While Danifae wonders how she'll ever take vengeance on a woman she left behind on the surface of Faerûn, the very target of her burning hatred is close on her heals. Halisstra has come to the Demonweb Pits with a very different agenda. In her hands she holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herself–but only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious

RESURRECTION

The War of the Spider Queen comes to an end.

Kurt Austin e Joe Zavala sono la nuova leva della NUMA, la prima linea di difesa contro le minacce all'ambiente marino in ogni angolo del mondo. Consapevoli della delicatezza degli interessi in gioco in questo campo e convinti che la preservazione degli oceani rappresenti forse l'unica speranza per il futuro dell'umanità, Kurt e Joe partecipano a una difficile operazione di salvataggio nei mari del Nord. Due navi si sono speronate al largo delle isole Faroe, un incidente in apparenza provocato da una nave ambientalista delle Sentinelle del Mare. Ma c'è qualcosa di realmente sospetto nel modo in cui è avvenuto il disastro e Therri Weld, affascinante e volitiva consulente legale degli ambientalisti, non è disposta a cedere alle richieste di risarcimento delle autorità danesi senza reagire. Ben presto i sospetti di Kurt e della sua squadra si indirizzano verso una multinazionale che conduce esperimenti segreti, e l'agente della NUMA si trova, affiancato dalla coraggiosa Therri, a incrociare la pericolosa strada di potenti avversari in lotta tra di loro, sopra e sotto la superficie del mare, per la supremazia economica. Ma tra avventure e agguati emerge un filo rosso sangue che collega i fatti di oggi a tragedie lontane nel tempo, in un romanzo d'avventura e d'azione che è anche un percorso attraverso impalpabili indizi emersi dalle nebbie dell'alba dell'Uomo, nella più pura tradizione di Clive Cussler.
