In un caldo pomeriggio texano, Cindy Nance rivela a Doug Hoover due grandi segreti della vita. Il primo lo entusiasma, mentre il secondo, che i ragazzi crescono e devono lavorare, lo delude. Attraverso matrimoni falliti e lavori insoddisfacenti, Doug si rende conto della verità delle parole di Cindy. Deluso dal presente, cerca di rivivere le gioie del passato, decidendo di lasciare moglie e lavoro. Tuttavia, la sua vita cambia quando incontra Sue Jean, il sogno di una vita, e Royce, un vagabondo. I tre si ritrovano in un mondo avventuroso, dove la vita, la morte e l’amore assumono nuovi significati. In questo romanzo on the road, le emozioni si intrecciano in un caleidoscopio di follie narrative. La realtà e la magia si confondono, creando un universo in cui tutto sembra possibile. I sogni si mescolano alla vita reale, e le strade conducono esattamente dove si deve andare. Il tono ironico ricorda altri maestri texani, come Larry McMurtry, mentre l'assurdità della narrazione porta alla mente Thomas Pynchon.

Zélie si pamätá, že kedysi bola celá krajina Orïsha plná mágie. Ohnivci zapaľovali plamene, Vlnopáni rozkazovali vlnám a Zéliina mama Smrtonoska vzývala duše mŕtvych. No potom mágia kamsi zmizla a všetko sa zmenilo. Všetkých Madžiov na príkaz krutého kráľa vyvraždili, Zélie obrali o mamu a jej ľud o nádej. Teraz však má Zélie jedinečnú šancu zaútočiť na kráľovskú rodinu a vrátiť krajine mágiu. Musí zabrániť korunnému princovi, aby definitívne zničil mágiu, a s pomocou princeznej mu prejsť cez rozum. Na každom kroku na ne číha nebezpečenstvo, z krovín vrčia snežné lepardnéry a vo vodách vyčkávajú pomstychtiví duchovia. Najväčšou hrozbou pre krajinu sa však môže stať práve Zélie – ak sa nenaučí kontrolovať svoju moc. Tomi Adeyemi nadväzuje na tradíciu veľkých fantasy románov. Navyše prišla s neošúchaným námetom čerpajúcim z africkej mytológie a mágie. Autorkin štýl je plný farbistej fantázie, napínavú tajomnú atmosféru spestrujú prvky africkej kultúry a opisy rôznych druhov mágie. Preto sa nemožno čudovať, že filmoví producenti ihneď prejavili záujem a odkúpili práva na sfilmovanie príbehu.

Treasure-hunting husband and wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are in Central America when they come upon a remarkable discovery - the skeleton of a man clutching an ancient sealed pot. Inside the pot is a well-preserved Mayan book, larger than any previously found by archaeologists.
Tory Brennan - great niece of Dr Temperance Brennan - and the Virals return for their most terrifying adventure yet. Life appears peaceful on Loggerhead Island - rescued from financial disaster, the research institute is flourishing once more. But the tranquility is quickly shattered when Tory Brennan and her technophile gang discover a mysterious box buried in the ground. A seemingly innocent treasure hunt soon turns into a nightmarish game of puzzles, as it becomes clear that one false move will lead to terrible, explosive consequences. The clock is ticking. Can Tory and the Virals crack the code in time to save the city - and their own lives?
The husband-and-wife team of Sam and Remi Fargo are used to hunting for treasure, but they aren't used to hunting for people - until an investigator friend of theirs goes missing, and they promise to search for him. What they find, however, will be beyond anything they could have imagined. On a journey that will take them to Tibet, Nepal, China, Venice, and Siberia, the Fargos will find themselves embroiled with black market fossils, an ancient Tibetan kingdom, a lost landmass in the North Sea, stone-age ostrich egg shards inscribed in a cryptic language, a pair of battles separated by thousands of miles and hundreds of years...... and a skeleton that could just turn the history of human evolution on its head.

An exhilarating new adventure in the bestselling Oregon Files series. For six novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. But the Oregon's seventh adventure is its most remarkable yet. On 7 December 1941, four brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbour. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Clive Cussler is hard to beat.'
