Charismatic, handsome, and fiercely loyal, Isaac Bell is a no-nonsense private detective at the Von Dorn Detective Agency. Travelling all over early 20th century America in pursuit of justice for his clients, chasing down a steam train in a sports automobile is all in a day's work for Bell. And while he's on the trail of thieves, killers, and sometimes much worse, he'll have to use his every last wit to stay ahead of those he seeks, and to stay alive. . .

From the outside, The Oregon is a rustling hunk of junk. But beneath the ships decaying exterior lurks a state-of-the-art vessel equipped with a uniquely effective array of weaponry. It's manned by the charismatic Juan Cabrillo, chair of the US government sponsored organisation 'The Corporation'. Aided by his crew of mercenaries, Cabrillo takes the Oregon on missions that the law can't handle, dealing justice to villains who threaten chaos on a global scale.

Journey of the Pharaohs

Sam and Remi Fargo are a husband and wife team on a quest. Treasure hunters, they travel the world looking for ancient artefacts and exotic bounty. They're in it for the history and the mystery, but others are not so honourable, and the Fargo's often find themselves caught up in ancient riddles, desperate to solve the puzzle before the bad guys get there first.

The Oracle

Clive Cussler's most well-known and best-loved hero, Dirk Pitt is quick-witted, cool under pressure and uniquely resourceful. It's these character traits (and a thirst for adventure in service of his country) that make him the perfect man to head up NUMA, the US National Underwater and Maritime Agency. With his right-hand man Al Giordino always at his side, Dirk's NUMA expeditions have seen him face down mad villains, global terror threats, and attempts at world domination.
