The new white-knuckled thriller in the NUMA series from the No. 1
Sunday Times bestselling Grand Master of Adventure, Clive Cussler
Kurt Austin and the NUMA crew face swarms of deadly bio-hacked sea
locusts, a runaway AI system, and a sinister cult in the latest novel
in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the "grand
master of adventure" Clive Cussler.
When Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala investigate a mass stranding of aquatic
life in the Indian Ocean, they accidentally uncover a much deeper
mystery. A strange figure soon steals NUMA’s findings, forcing a
high-speed chase—someone really didn’t want them examining those dead
whales. But who, and why?
A cryptic text through the NUMA satellite network makes things still
stranger: these odd phrases and numbers look like NUMA codes. But who
could be tantalizing the crew with such specific knowledge of their
tech? Are they being helped by an old friend, or lured into a trap by a
traitor who knows a little too much about NUMA’s inner workings?
Kurt, Joe, and even Max, the agency’s supercomputer, will have to
investigate like never before as they decrypt data, infiltrate a cult
of cloned men, and prepare for a battle on two very different planes:
one physical; one digital.
The aquatic stranding was just the beginning of a sinister plan
concocted by a mind more brilliant than any they’ve ever faced—the mind
of a machine. A new, terrifying world order is being plotted. First
marine ecosystems will be devastated, then the entire globe’s . .
.Unless the NUMA crew can stop this code of desolation.
’n Reeksmoordenaar jag by stormweer, en Rooi en Kassie moet hom vastrek. Die Hartedief kom met moord weg, en dan is Kassie se volle aandag ook nie eintlik by die saak nie, want hy is smoorverlief op ’n aanvallige mede-seëlversamelaar. Vlerksleep is nie vir sissies nie. Om sake vir hom en Rooi te vererger word hul baas daarvan verdink dat sy hul ondersoek in die wiele ry, en Kassie moet haar onskuld bewys. Intussen word Kaapse vroue vermoor wanneer daar onweer broei.
When the body of a brilliant micro-biologist is found on the
pavement below a multi-storey car-park, all the signs point to
suicide. But one officer in MI6 is not so sure. Daniel Rankin
enlists the help of Charlie Watts, a retired police detective, to
investigate further. What they uncover will eventually lead to a
desperate race against time. This is the third adventure in which
Daniel Rankin and Charlie Watts work together. But the stakes have
never been higher. They have to move fast if they are to prevent a
devastating attack on London whose effect could prove worse than
the Black Death five hundred years ago. Full of intrigue and
unexpected twists, this thriller of scientific espionage and
bio-terrorism will keep you gripped from the first to the very last
page.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.
Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.
Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.
Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.
