Il serpente dei Maya

Something bad happened to Matinicus "Matt" Hawkins in Afghanistan. The ex-SEAL was grievously wounded in an ambush that killed men under his command and almost ended his life. When he pushed for an investigation, he was kicked out of the Navy with a psychiatric discharge. The doctors put his shattered leg back together, but the bitterness destroyed his marriage. Five years later, Hawkins is jerked out of his tranquil life as a designer of undersea robots. A super-secret government group wants him to go back to Afghanistan on a strange and dangerous mission. A Georgetown University historian has unearthed evidence that could lead to the fabulous treasure of Prester John, a legendary Christian ruler of an eastern empire. The historian has disappeared, and the government wants Hawkins to track down the treasure as a matter of national security. The centerpiece of the trove, an emerald-encrusted gold scepter, is the linchpin in the Prophet's Necklace, code-name for a plot that is intended to kill more people than the attack on the Twin Towers and rally others to the terrorist cause. Hawkins sees his mission to foil the plot as an opportunity to search for answers. He pulls together an eclectic team that includes his ex-wife, a former comrade-in-arms and a mentally unstable computer whiz. Backed by his unlikely team, Hawkins will travel thousands of miles and hundreds of years on an amazing time-space odyssey. He'll face off against a cold-blooded killer. Probe the underwater secrets of an ancient tomb. Navigate the treacherous stands of an unimaginable conspiracy. And in the process, will discover that there are treasures even more valuable than gold.

Serpiente es el primer volumen de una serie de trepidantes novelas de aventuras protagonizadas por Kurt Austin, Jefe de la División de Proyectos Especiales de la NUMA, una organización gubernamental estadounidense dedicada a la exploración e investigación oceánica. En diversas partes del mundo se producen misteriosos asesinatos de arqueólogos. Todas las víctimas tienen un elemento en común: en el momento de los crímenes estaban reuniendo asombrosas pruebas de que Colón no fue el primer europeo en pisar las tierras del Nuevo Mundo. Sin embargo, no se trata de acciones aisladas de maníacos u obsesos. Muy al contrario, detrás de estos asesinatos hay una orquestada campaña que busca provocar un terrible conflicto bélico. Y solo los investigadores de la NUMA (National Underwater & Marine Agency), con la ayuda de una joven y bella científica, podrán impedir que el siniestro complot se consume. Ambientada en Marruecos, México y Estados Unidos, esta primera entrega de la serie «Archivos NUMA» deja a los lectores sin aliento, y no precisamente por hacer submarinismo... Una aventura no apta para cardíacos.

Serpiente (Archivos NUMA 1)

Polar Shift: It is the name for a phenomenon that may have occurred many times in the past. At its weakest, it disorients birds and animals and damages electrical equipment. At its worst, it causes massive eruptions, earthquakes and climatic changes. At its very worst, it would mean the obliteration of all living matter... 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.

I 1956 gik det italienske passagerskib ́Andrea Doria ́ ned efter en kollision med det svenske skib ́Stockholm ́, en katastrofe, der nemt kunne være blevet værre, end dengang ́Titanic ́ sank. Ifølge Clive Cussler, som hele sit liv har interesseret sig levende for skibskatastrofer, blev skibet sænket. Historien begynder to generationer efter forliset, da arkæologen Nina Kirov flygter fra et terrorangreb på sit udgravningssted og reddes af Kurt Austin og hans besætning på et NUMA-forskningsskib. Et hold arkæologer er vel ikke det mest oplagte terroristmål, og Kurt Austin undrer sig. Men da han kommer under vejr med fundet af et mumificeret lig med initialerne C.C. i et oversvømmet mayatempel og en armeret vogn, der gik ned sammen med Andrea Doria, er scenen sat til et undervandseventyr dybt nede i skibets skrog skarpt forfulgt af medlemmerne af et hemmeligt spansk broderskab, der angiveligt skulle have været opløst for mere end 300 år siden.
