Meanwhile, Pitt's children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings them both to Cuba as well--and squarely into harm's way. The whole Pitt familyhas been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now.

Ein Dirk-Pitt-Roman

Die Kuba-Verschwörung

Ein skrupelloser Mogul setzt alles daran, die Welt entweder im Sturm zu erobern oder aber völlig zu vernichten – genau wie einst sein berüchtigter Vorfahr Dschingis Khan!

Der Fluch des Khan

Viento letal

L’assassinio di una squadra di scienziati dell’ONU mentre indagavano su misteriose morti a El Salvador, una collisione mortale nel fiume di Detroit, un violento attacco a un sito archeologico lungo il Nilo: tre eventi in apparenza scollegati tra loro ma che, come capirà presto il direttore della NUMA Dirk Pitt, sono uniti da un enigma antico che potrebbe cambiare il futuro dell’umanità… Durante quella che doveva essere un’indagine di routine in Sud America, Pitt si ritrova invischiato in un mistero internazionale che lo condurrà in tutto il mondo – dalle acque profonde della Scozia, dove dovrà cercare risposte sulla diffusione di una malattia sconosciuta e sull’oscura azienda di biorisanamento che potrebbe esserne la causa, alle bollenti sabbie d’Egitto, dove la vita dei suoi figli è in serio pericolo, fino alle rocciose Isole d’Irlanda, dove avverrà una spettacolare resa dei conti. Cussler invia i suoi intrepidi eroi Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino nella più selvaggia e audace delle loro avventure: solo Pitt, infatti, può svelare i segreti di un mistero che affonda nell’antichità, la cui soluzione potrebbe risiedere nel racconto di una principessa egiziana costretta a fuggire dagli eserciti di suo padre. Sembra che Pitt debba guardare nel passato per salvare il futuro.

Avventure di Dirk Pitt

Il destino del faraone

Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino questa volta sentiranno la terra tremare sotto i piedi. Letteralmente. La minaccia che si trovano ad affrontare è probabilmente la più pericolosa della loro vita. Una minaccia che aggredisce la principale fonte di sostentamento dell’economia mondiale, e che affonda le radici nella leggenda del più grande condottiero di tutti i tempi: Gengis Khan, il cui impero, all’apice del suo fulgore, si estendeva dall’oceano Pacifico al mar Caspio. La leggenda avvolge non soltanto le sue conquiste ma anche, come Dirk Pitt scoprirà rischiando la pelle, la sua tomba e il tesoro, sepolto con lui in un luogo sconosciuto. Fino a ora. Tutto ha inizio sul lago Baikal, in Russia. Pitt e Giordino sono impegnati in una missione scientifica, affiancando per conto della NUMA alcuni scienziati russi, quando un’inspiegabile onda anomala rischia di travolgerli. Pitt riesce a salvare anche una squadra impegnata in ricerche petrolifere ma, quando la squadra viene sequestrata, Pitt si trova di fronte a qualcosa di ben più sinistro di un semplice evento naturale. Inizia così a seguire le tracce di un’oscura macchinazione internazionale che lo porterà in Mongolia, nella città di Xanadu, dove uno spietato e ricchissimo imprenditore nutre manie di grandezza e concepisce piani che si traducono in ondate di violenza. Dai gelidi laghi siberiani alle sabbie roventi del deserto del Gobi, fra pericoli, intrighi e avventure, Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino lotteranno strenuamente per impedire alla terra di tremare di nuovo, causando la fine della civiltà.

Il tesoro di Gengis Khan

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. Ma l’innocente «gita di pesca» di copertura, che avrebbe permesso di mettere a punto le ultime mosse, si è misteriosamente conclusa in tragedia. Solo la Numa può intervenire per recuperare i resti del cabinato da pesca sul quale viaggiava il progettista, ma nemmeno Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino sono consapevoli dell’importanza dell’impresa che stanno per affrontare. Non tarderanno però a rendersene conto, costretti da subito a difendersi dall’attacco di uno spietato commando, pronto a tutto pur di recuperare quello che c’era a bordo. Ma qual era il segreto che si celava in quel cabinato? E come si collega il progetto del Sea Arrow alla scomparsa del sommergibile italiano Barbarigo avvenuta nel 1943 al largo dell’oceano Indiano? 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...
