KURT AUSTIN AND THE NUMA CREW ARE BACK IN AN ACTION-PACKED ADVENTURE FROM #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR CLIVE CUSSLER

___________

In the Gulf of Mexico, flames erupt from the seabed turning oilrigs into infernos . . .

Luckily, Kurt Austin and the NUMA team are on hand to rescue the crews before the burning rigs sink beneath the waves. But what caused this fireball?

It's soon clear this is sabotage, but at the same time oil fields around the world are dying.

Tasked with discovering the truth, Kurt is led to alternative energy scientist Tessa Franco.

Franco's company seeks the end of the oil age. But is she part of the solution - or the problem?

With the world simmering on the verge of catastrophe, Kurt's in a race against time to discover the extraordinary truth - one that may lie with an audacious experiment and a submarine lost fifty years ago . . .

Reviews

'Sea of Greed will have readers turning pages. With a wonderful cast of characters and relentless action, this is classic Cussler'

—— Mail Online

Move over Rosemary's Baby, urban paranoia has a deliciously Gothic new address.

—— Ruth Ware

The Bartholomew is an apartment building of terrifying secrets. You’ll find startling twists and alarming surprises down every dark hallway. It’s too late to lock the doors–the horror is already inside. My favorite thriller of the year!

—— R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps

Sager fans and new readers alike will enjoy this heart-pounding thriller that cleverly weaves economic anxiety with something a whole lot darker. Jules must face the demons in the woodwork and in the world around her if she is to have any hope of a future. Because, ultimately, locking every door won’t keep the terror away if the terror is locked in there with you.

—— New York Journal of Books

The author, writing under a pen name, relates ominous events and spooky developments with skill, adding an element of social commentary and a surprise twist ending—elevating this exercise in terror above the ordinary shocker.”

—— Wall Street Journal

All those sunny summer afternoons could use a little darkness. For a poolside thriller, check out Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door.

—— Good Housekeeping

Sager’s third reinterpretation of iconic horror themes (following The Last Time I Lied, 2018) is an utterly riveting thriller that melds Rosemary’s Baby with Sager’s masterful storytelling.

—— Booklist

Ready for another Riley Sager thriller? The Final Girls author’s latest, Lock Every Door, is a twisted, heart-pounding ride.

—— PopSugar

Riley Sager takes readers on a roller coaster ride where you will have just enough time to catch your breath before the next big twist hits you…This novel continues Sager’s streak of providing a fresh and original voice to the world of psychological thrillers.

—— Bookreport

“I loved The Warehouse, although and because it made my blood run cold. The world Rob Hart creates is what our world could be by this time next year. Watching these oh so human characters try to cope, even thrive, in their new normal makes one alternately hopeful and despairing. Bravo!”

—— SJ Rozan, author of Ghost Hero

The Warehouse is an inventive, addictive, Crichton-esque, page-turning, near-future dystopian thriller about a corporation ruling over every aspect of our late-capitalism lives

—— Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World

An absolute thriller. Using wit, insight and masterful story-telling, Rob Hart has written a riveting tale that reflects on the state of humanity and where we might be heading. Be prepared for the unexpected and to look at our world through a new, twisted lens.

—— Ashlee Vance, New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future

Fast-paced and unputdownable, thrilling and ominous, The Warehouse is a terrifying object lesson of a story that will haunt you each time you see a box on the front step--and make you wonder what color your shirt will be, one day.

—— Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma

Detailed worldbuilding makes this one feel nightmarish and all too real, but the thrilling plot keeps you turning pages anyway…A creepy dystopian thriller from Rob Hart that might be one of the breakout books of the year.

—— Barnes & Noble

A scathing, near-future satire

—— FT, Books of the Year

Incredible … one of my reads of the year

—— Mark Edwards

'Engrossing ... Big Brother meets Big Business - that pretty much nails it'

—— Stephen King

It has everything you want from a great crime novel. Unpredictable story-telling, suspense and unreliable characters. It took just one 4 hour sitting for me to fly through this.

—— Cambridge Edition

‘Everything I read by Lisa Jewell holds me in its grip until the pages run out– and The Family Upstairs is no exception... Jewell has such a rare gift for storytelling

—— Daily Express

Lisa Jewell is brilliant at creating a menacing atmosphereand this is almost unbearably tense at times, with a knock-the-wind-out-of-you ending.

—— Good Housekeeping

This sharply characterized mystery is as chilling as it is engrossing. It will make you think twice about who you invite across your threshold.

—— Sunday Mirror

With its eerie, abandoned home and damaged characters, you’ll need a will of iron to put this all-consuming read down before the end.

—— The Daily Mirror

I loved The Family Upstairs!!

Yet another brilliant novel... Lisa Jewell is the new Ruth Rendell or Barbara Vine. Just mesmerising.

—— Julia Llewellyn Smith

It’s SO GOOD!

The excitement, the intrigue, the sheer pleasure of reading taboo-breaking work!

—— Liz Nugent

It’s absolutely bloody brilliant and I can’t tell you much I wish I’d written it.

—— Tammy Cohen

From a stack of amazing crime novels in 2019, I have to choose The Family Upstairs…Jewell is brilliant at twisting plot strands from the past and present into a tense story that I read in one sitting. I'm still thinking about the ending!

—— Jane Casey , Irish Independent

Super-readable with twisty turns, this is a stay-up-to-finish-in-the-early-hours read.

—— Sun on Sunday

Just finished The Family Upstairs and I’m telling you it’s her best book yet – human, gripping, deeply felt, seriously twisty and skilfully plotted. Bravo!

—— Paul Burston

I had hoped to save The Family Upstairs for my holiday, but failed miserably by devouring it as soon as it arrived. I was hooked from the first page, I think it's her best yet and hands down my favourite book so far this year.

—— Alice Feeney

What. A. Book! 2019’s best thriller and a one-sitting read.

—— Red Magazine

Brilliantly dark and unsettling, Lisa Jewell’s latest novel might just be her best yet.

—— Culturefly

A work of utter genius ... you’re going to love it.

—— Mark Edwards

Lisa Jewell is the most wonderful writer, and funnily enough we've written about a similar theme with our new books - cults, in microcosm and macrocosm. I can't rant enough about how brilliant The Family Upstairs is.

—— Alex Marwood

I absolutely loved The Family Upstairs. Intriguing, absorbing, unputdownable with characters so real they jump from the page.

—— Laura Marshall

Couldn’t put it down. Wish I’d written it. With characters that light up the pages, a twisty plot which unravels at perfect pace, and a house rammed with the darkest secrets, it’s brilliant.

Compelling and suspenseful for a long and chilly autumn night’s reading.

This is without a doubt one of my favourite reads of the year.

Featuring two entangled families and a house with the darkest of secrets, this is a compulsive new thriller from Lisa Jewell.

From the first page we were hooked. If you’ve got a lazy day planned over the Christmas break, this is the type of novel you could read in a day…It makes us shiver just sharing the plot and we guarantee you’ll be on the edge of your seats throughout.

Of the crop of great thrillers out this year, this is my pick [...] Lisa Jewell is brilliant at creating a menacing atmosphereand this is almost unbearably tense at times, with a knock-the-wind-out-of-you ending.

Perfect book to inhale by the fire. Had no idea how creepy and nuanced it would be but couldn’t put it down and stayed up half the night reading it. Highly recommend.
