DISCOVER THE LATEST DIRK PITT ADVENTURE. From the shadow of war comes
an enduring historical mystery - and a present-day plot of destruction
. . .
France, May 1940. As the German army blitzes Europe and Parisians flee
their city, the chief curator of the Musee de l'Armee is ordered to
take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. But when he learns
his intended ship has been sunk, the fate of his cargo must rest on a
decrepit steamer, sailing out under German fire. . .
Decades later, a diving expedition in the English Channel leads
Director Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No
sooner than they are discovered, the diamonds are stolen!
Pitt and the NUMA agency now find they must face a murderous cabal with
far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment
facilities around the globe are being targeted - placing the world's
population in grave peril.
From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the islands of the Caribbean,
only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can locate the
treasure that will save the world from catastrophe.

basic civilisation had evolved. It was a time when complacency had
relegated the Old Gods to mythological tales. It was a time when a
young hunter had to sate his curiosity about a pretty young girl he

new worlds, love, adventure, terror, a beautiful goddess and the
power of a magic sword. It was a time when he would uncover the
secrets that lay in and beyond the... WOODLAND

The Darwin Raiders is the story of the surviving members of the
Royal Marine detachment from a British Cruiser sunk by a Japanese
submarine on its way from Singapore to Australia. When they are
rescued and taken to Darwin they fully expect to be eventually
returned to England, but they are to be given another role. They
are to be used as small landing parties to carry out raids on the
Japanese held islands in the Dutch East Indies. To do this they are
transported there by submarine and have soon established a
reputation for their ability to strike hard and then make a rapid
withdraw. Later they are used to supply arms and ammunition to the
Anti-Japanese Army landing these vital supplies on the west coast
of Malaya. Then they spent time with these men sometimes for a
month or so helping to blow up bridges and railway lines and in
doing so becoming quite friendly, but as the war reaches its end
and once more Malaya is free from its invader a political battle
looms on what debt is owed to these jungle fighters with Chin Peng
their leader making all sorts of demands.
Could this life be their last?
The city of Atrine lies in ruins. And now Relos Var has revealed his plan to free the monstrous god, Vol Karoth, the end of the world is closer than ever.
To buy time for humanity, Kihrin and his friends need to convince a king to perform an ancient ritual. The power released would imprison the god for an age to come. But this may come at too high a price for the King of the Vane, as the ritual would strip his people of their immortality. As a result, some will do anything to prevent this ritual – including assassinating those championing this solution.
Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with a horrifying possibility. It seems his connection to Vol Karoth is growing in strength . . . but what does it mean? And how can Kihrin hope to save his world, when he might be the greatest threat of all?

Walk has never left the coastal California town where he and Star grew up. He may have become the chief of police, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend, Vincent King, to prison decades before. And he's in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother.
Now, thirty years later, Vincent is being released. And Duchess and Walk must face the trouble that comes with his return. We Begin at the End is an extraordinary novel about two kinds of families―the ones we are born into and the ones we create.
