Graham Brown Knihy

Otázky o konci sveta sa objavovali od počiatku ľudstva a stále sú aktuálne. Graham Brown sa nimi zaoberá už vo svojom druhom napínavom románe, v ktorom sa v súvislosti s dátumom 21. december 2012 rozpúta zápas medzi tromi svetovými veľmocami – USA, Ruskom a Čínou. Pracovníčke Národného výskumného inštitútu Danielle Laidlawovej sa podarí v srdci Amazónie neuveriteľný objav – nájde priezračný mayský kameň vyžarujúci silné vlny energie. Kameň vysiela signál, ktorý smeruje k hraničnému dátumu. Niekde na svete podľa všetkého jestvujú ešte tri také kamene. Aká energia by sa uvoľnila, keby sa ocitli tieto štyri kamene pokope? Kto ich vytvoril – a kto ich má teraz? Danielle a jej tím sa riadia podľa tajuplnej mayskej mapy a podľa proroctva o zániku sveta. Nejde však o koniec sveta, ale o nový začiatok... Výskumníci si kladú otázky: Mali tieto artefakty slúžiť na našu záchranu – alebo nás mali navždy zničiť?

Pracovníčka vládnej organizácie Danielle Laidlawová vedie výpravu do hlbín Amazónie v úsilí nájsť legendárne mayské mesto. Na výprave ju sprevádza renomovaný univerzitný profesor a chráni ju žoldnier Hawker. Členovia výpravy nevedia, že pred nimi už bola v tých končinách iná výprava a zmizla z povrchu zemského. Nevedia ani to, že poklad, ktorý hľadajú, nie sú len mayské artefakty, ale môže ísť o fyzikálny objav, ktorý by mohol zmeniť svet. Skupinu sa pokúsi zlikvidovať nemilosrdný miliardár, no výhražné posolstvá im vysiela aj domorodý kmeň Chollokvanov a okrem toho ich prenasleduje skrytý nepriateľ, ktorý po sebe zanecháva roztrhané telá. Členovia skupiny sa zúfalo usilujú nájsť spojenie medzi smrteľnou realitou mayskej legendy, kmeňom nomádov a desivým tajomstvom pochovaným v starých ruinách. Nájdu práve oni dôkazy o tom, že starý mayský spis sa zakladal na pravde?

A global threat. The world's sea levels are rising at an alarming rate, too quickly to be caused by glacier melt. A risk so big it sends Kurt Austin, Zoe Zavala and the NUMA team rocketing around the world in search for answers. A desperate mission. Their hunt takes them from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, but it's in the East China Sea that a mysterious underwater mining operation is discovered. A devastating endgame. Kurt uncovers a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined: a plan to upset the Pacific balance of power, threatening the lives of millions. It falls to the NUMA team to risk everything to stop it and save the world from the coming catastrophe.

When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, NUMA operatives Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't-that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter, extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions. From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster . . . but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

When Kurt Austin rescues the crew of a Scottish trawler, he finds himself trying to save them not once but twice. First, from the violent storm that dashes their vessel into jagged rocks and, second, from the deadly gunmen desperate to get their hands on its lost cargo of stolen Egyptian artefacts. Soon Kurt - with the assistance of resourceful MI5 agent Morgan Manning - is on the hunt for the source of these artefacts. It's a journey that takes them around the world and draws the fury of the mysterious Bloodstone group - an international network of murderous individuals who'll kill anyone in their way. But what do gunmen want with ancient loot? One thing is for sure, if Kurt is to find out he's going to be in the cross hairs of some ruthless and well-armed foes...

A Japanese cargo ship cruises the eastern Atlantic near the Azores- when it bursts into flames. A gang of pirates speeds to take advantage of the disaster-when their boat explodes. What is happening in this part of the world? As Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team rush to investigate, they find themselves drawn into the extraordinary ambitions of an African dictator, the creation of a weapon of almost mythical power, and an unimaginably audacious plan to extort the world's major nations. The penalty for refusal? The destruction of their greatest cities.

When Kurt Austin is injured while rescuing the passengers and crew of a sinking yacht, he wakes up with conflicting memories of what he saw. Did he witness an old friend and her children drown, or was the yacht abandoned when he came aboard?

A deadly, unstoppable force has just been unleashed on the world . . . In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a NUMA research vessel spots what the crew believe is a slick of oil. But as their boat sails into this liquid they quickly find that it is something far more deadly. In moments everyone aboard is killed, and only a flaming wreck is left. Quickly, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala of NUMA are dispatched to investigate. What they find on recovering the smoldering hulk leads them to the discovery of an audacious scheme to permanently alter the earth. It will kill millions - and it is already well underway. Who could be behind it, and why? Questions Austin and Zavala must answer if they are to somehow prevent murder on a global scale . . . 'Nobody does it better than Clive Cussler, nobody.'

Kurt and Joe tangle with the most determined enemy they've ever encountered when a ruthless power broker schemes to build a new Egyptian empire as glorious as those of the Pharaohs'. Part of his plan rests on the manipulation of a newly discovered aquifer beneath the Sahara, but an even more devastating weapon at his disposal may threaten the entire world: a plant extract known as the black mist, found in the City of the Dead and rumored to have the power to take life from the living and restore it to the dead. With the balance of power in Africa and Europe on the verge of tipping, Kurt, Joe, and the rest of the NUMA team will have to fight to reveal the truth behind the legends--but to do that, they have to confront in person the greatest legend of them all: Osiris, the ruler of the Egyptian underworld.

From the back streets of Paris to an underground auction in the catacombs of Beirut to the merciless deserts of Iran, Hawker and his partner Danielle find themselves hunting a murderous cult leader whose scientific arsenal could lead humanity to a new Eden - or unleash hell on the Earth itself.
