Conrad of Marburg and his companion Elisabeth continue on their quest for the Third Testament. But to find the relic they must first escape the dark island where they are held captive and then reach the monastery of St Luke which seems to hold the answer to many of their questions. But as they progress in their quest, many more questions seem to arise. Who is the mysterious leader of the horde of warriors chasing them and what exactly is the role of the Knights Templar in all of this?
In a far too near-future, the world's economy has collapsed. Amidst an unprecedented recession, the only remaining bastion of capitalist prosperity is the new 'Human Stock Exchange', where individuals are listed on the market.

When the opportunity arises to be listed on the HSE, though... will the cost turn out to be too high?
Lieutenant Kazinsky has finally proven his loyalty once and for all to his small band of rebels. The ambush he set for their pursuers with Sergeant Sabiane destroyed their vehicles and even injured their leader, Morvan. But 'the Puzzle' never gives up on a prey. Soon, the mutineers must face the hardest choice of all. Continuing means killing other Frenchmen. Stopping means abandoning their friends, maybe even betraying them. In the end, do they even stand a chance of succeeding?
1917. Nivelle - 'the butcher' - commands the French Army, and the attacks he keeps ordering are pointless slaughters. The soldiers can't take it any more. Discontent is turning into rebellion, and a petition is being circulated in secret.

Seth, her demonic alter ego, is with her, and the two of them have already wreaked bloody havoc.

He was XIII's most dogged enemy from the start, but who really was the Mongoose, that mysterious assassin-for-hire who nearly killed the amnesiac hero so many times? During an encounter between him and Kim Rowland - an event that took place just before the start of the XIII series - the merciless hitman tells the story of his childhood and how he became a contract killer. 'Anyone would have in my circumstances', he claims. But would they? You be the judge.
Will Cuba be free, or will it become part of the United States? As the election draws near, Cuba becomes a powder keg. The exactions of El Santero continue, terrifying the liberators-turned-occupiers and enflaming the spirit of the freedom-starved Cubans. In response, American authorities don't hesitate to use extreme violence to ensure that their candidate will win and become not the president of the Republic of Cuba, but the first governor of the 46th state. For the SPOOKS, torn between duty and convictions, the danger is real, and choices will have to be made...
The dream of gold has turned to blood and ashes. The Neptune is gone, stolen by the Indian guide Moc, or maybe by Guiana-Capac's malevolent gods. The last members of the ill-fated expedition-Silver, Dantzig, Livesey and Bonnet-are stranded in the ancient city. Far from being broken, however, they will face head-on what lies inside the gargantuan ruin, each for his own reasons: revenge, duty, gold...or to rescue the beautiful Lady Hastings. For Moc isn't done with them, and he has plans for Vivian.
The long journey of the Neptune is well underway. Lady Vivian is counting on her associate Long John Silver to take control of the expedition. But Silver doesn't have enough men to take over the ship, and Captain Hastings doesn't trust him. In the close quarters of a tall ship, tensions rise; betrayal looms. Blood will be spilled before the vessel reaches the Amazon, and a single act of routine brutality will throw the Neptune into a maelstrom of death. Ages 12+.
Twenty years after the events of the Hispaniola, Lady Vivian Hastings knocks on Dr Livesey's door. Her hated husband has sent word from the Amazon: He has found the fabled city of Guyana Capac, and his brother is to sell the entire domain to pay for an expedition, dispossessing Vivian in the process. But the lady intends to get her share and has come to seek the one man who can help her gain control of the ship: Long John Silver.
Conrad of Marburg and his companion Elisabeth continue on their
quest for the Third Testament. But dark forces are gathering -
forces who will do anything to stop them from revealing the secrets
of the Testament...
Felix's meteoric rise to the top has brought him much, but it also cost him dearly. Rachel has left him. His shareholders keep demanding ever more from him. Desperate, horrified, the young man is losing himself - but even that he is not allowed: Simon, the father of the HSE himself, puts him back on the right track by force. Because, in the public's eyes, Felix is a success story, hope... And for the HSE, he's the future of finance.
Felix has done it. His painstaking efforts have paid off, and he is now listed on the Human Stock Exchange. A new, more affluent life begins - new house, new car, new opportunities - though he hasn't lost his burning desire to climb higher and higher. Unfortunately, the continued health of his stock requires not only constant hard work from him, but also, increasingly, sacrifices, compromises... and betrayals.
After the SPOOKS' difficult mission in Cuba, Morton Chapel has accepted Kathryn Lennox's help in attempting to treat his daughter, Megan. The girl has been catatonic since she witnessed her father shoot her demented mother Madeleine. But Chapel speaks of possession rather than insanity; an hypothesis the rational Kathryn finds it difficult to accept. And Madeleine's father, a mining industry mogul, intends to exact his revenge from the SPOOKS leader.
The bloody mutiny was a success, and Long John is now in command of the Neptune. Following their native guide, the survivors find the mouth of the Amazon and sail on towards Guiana-Capac.

To what doom will the lush labyrinth of the Amazon lead Long John, Lady Vivian and Dr Livesey?

Grant himself gave it years earlier: his SPecialists in the Odd and the OCcult - his SPOOKS.
A monastery is burned to the ground; every monk within killed. It
now falls to Conrad of Marburg, a disgraced Inquisitor, to discover
the motive for this heinous crime and make sure that those
