1896: HMS Rove vanishes in a shocking storm off the African coast. Aboard is a fortune in stolen diamonds... Present day: Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert super-ship Oregon have just escaped a double-cross on the Congo River when they come to the aid of Sloane Macintyre - looking for some long lost treasure.
Based on a true story, this novel describes the 1839 mutiny on the Spanish ship La Amistad. When the ship is intercepted by the United States navy, subsequent trials call the institution of slavery into question.
In this thrilling installment of Cussler's Oregon Files series, Chairman Juan Cabrillo and his crew confront a dangerous activist group planning a viral attack. After a secret mission in the Persian Gulf, they discover a ghost ship filled with bodies, leading to a perilous mystery and a race against time to thwart a cult's deadly scheme.
Having exposed a group of fraudulent spiritualists, investigative journalist Joanna Cross is intrigued by the claims of psychologist Dr Sam Towne that paranormal phenomena do in fact exist. Accepting his challenge to enter into a scientific experiment to 'create' a ghost, Joanna, Sam and six volunteers bring to life 'Adam Wyatt' - a young American living in France after the American War of Independence. Associated with the great minds and mystics at the close of the eighteenth century, he dies tragically in the French Revolution. The experiment is a great success, with poltergeist activity and disembodied messages all scientifically recorded. Sam's theory appears conclusive - that ghosts are created by the people who see them. But a series of inexplicable and ominous events force Joanna and Sam to realize the ghost they have brought to life can also cause death...
