And now they are about to help their father in the adventure of a lifetime.

In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese tried a last desperate measure, a different kind of kamikaze mission, this one carried out by two submarines bound for the west coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of deadly virus.

But why are the people attempting to harvest it getting killed? Why are the scientists in a remote Greek laboratory disappearing one by one?

Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered how to artificially trigger a shift in the polar ice caps that could cause massive eruptions, earthquakes, and even climate changes. But then his work disappeared, or so it was thought.

The only problem is, it cannot be reversed. Once it starts, there is nothing anyone can do.

The author of the bestselling NUMA and Dirk Pitt series returns with a novel of adventure and intrigue featuring his unbeatable hero of the high seas: Juan Cabrillo. Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a very comfortable and very dangerous living working for high-powered Western interests. But their newest clients have come from the Far East to ask for Cabrillo's special brand of assistance. They're a consortium of Japanese shipping magnates being threatened by brutal pirates trolling the waters of Southeast Asia.

A no-nonsense detective is on the trail of the sharpest and deadliest criminal mind he has ever encountered: a serial robber who murders any and all witnesses in cold-blood. Another remarkable adventure from the limitless imagination of Clive Cussler.

At the heart of the plot is a state-of-the-art ship that is identical to the Oregon: same weaponry, same technology, same ability to evade capture. The only thing it doesn't have is Cabrillo and his talented crew.

I hjärtat av det gamla Sovjetunionen vill en magnat inom havsutvinningebranschen utnämna sig själv till tsar av Ryssland. Med hjälp av ett påstått släktskap med ätten Romanov och med en aldrig sinande källa av pengar, har han planer på att avsätta det skakiga ryska parlamentet. Den starka amerikanska oppositionen har han förutsett - en kris på deras egen hemmafront skulle distrahera dem och han vet exakt vad som skulle passa. På havsbottnen längs hela USA:s östkust funns fickor med metanhudrat, även kallat "brinnande is" - ett ämne som ser ut som snö men som är bränn hett.

I 1896 flygtede fire englændere med deres bytte, en formue i uslebne diamanter, gennem den nådesløse Kalahari-ørken, stærkt forfulgt af en afrikansk stamme. Det lykkedes de fire mænd at komme om bord på det ventende HMS Rove, men en storm blæste op, og skibet forsvandt med alle ombordværende. Juan Cabrillo og hans besætning på det ombyggede fragtskib, Oregon, er med nød og næppe sluppet helskindet fra en mission på Congo-floden, da de opfanger et nødkald fra et skib, der er kommet under beskydning ud for den afrikanske kyst.

Hæv Titanic! er en del af Dirk Pitt-serien. Projekt Sicilien er kodenavnet for en fantastisk plan og den bedst bevarede hemmelighed siden atombomben: man vil fremstille et forsvarsvåben, som vil gøre USA usårlig.
