Marine explorer Dirk Pitt must rely on the nautical lore of Jules Verne to stop a ruthless oil baron with his sights set on political power in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series. In the middle of its maiden voyage, a luxury cruise ship using revolutionary new engines suddenly catches fire and sinks. Its alarms stay silent; its sprinkler system remains inactive. Nearby NUMA special projects director Dirk Pitt notices smoke and races to the rescue. He's too late to save the engineer behind the ship's new technology, but helps the man's daughter, Kelly Egan, escape with her father's work in a leather briefcase. While Ms. Egan strives to uncover the hidden value in her father's inventions, Pitt is hired on by maritime insurers to investigate the wreckage. Neither are prepared for the mechanical marvels they'll soon be forced to confront. The machines could only be the stuff of legend, described in the tales of Viking explorers or the accounts of Jules Verne. And they may be Pitt and Egan's only hope when an oil tycoon with a plan of his own appears on the scene. Before journey's end, Pitt will take on a power-mad millionaire, tread upon territory previously known only to Verne's illustrious Captain Nemo, and make shocking discoveries about his own past.
Hij noemt zichzelf Michaelangelo. Net als de schilder, maar geschreven met een extra a. Deze moordenaar van Pennsylvania maakt van zijn slachtoffers gruwelijke kunstwerken en heeft slechts één doel voor ogen: de meeste gezochte misdadiger van Amerika worden. De veelbelovende FBI-agente Ariel Grace onderzoekt de gruwelijke moorden. Zij ontdekt dat Michaelangelo, nummer tien op de lijst van de FBI, gedreven wordt door woede. Laaiend is hij, dat er maar liefst negen killers beter zijn dan hij. En hij zal dan ook niet rusten voordat hij nummer één staat op de top-10 die in heel Amerika hangt aangeplakt. Als Michaelangelo in ijzingwekkend tempo de jacht inzet op de geduchte criminelen boven hem, slaat de paniek toe bij de top van de FBI. Want wat niemand weet - zelfs de gedreven en onverschrokken Grace niet - is dat nummer vijf op de lijst een infiltrant is van de FBI. Er volgt een zenuwslopende nachtmerrie op leven en dood.

Polar shift: It is the name for a phenomenon that may have occurred many times in the past. At the very least, 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, and if that happens-exit Earth.Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered how to artificially trigger such a shift, but then his work was lost, or so it was thought. Now, the charismatic leader of an anti-globalization group plans to use the work to give the world's industrialized nations a small jolt, then reverse the shift back again. The only problem is, it cannot be reversed. Once the shift starts, there is nothing anyone can do about it.Austin, Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team certainly have faced dire situations before, but never have they encountered anything like this. This time . . . even they may be too late.
