The highly anticipated new thriller from bestseller Michael Crichton

Pirate latitudes

Le roman inédit de Michael Crichton, qui lui a inspiré Jurassic Park.
 
1875. Dandy désoeuvré, le jeune William Johnson, après s'être livré à un pari qu'il a perdu, doit partir pour le Far West. Quittant son univers privilégié, l'étudiant de Yale rejoint une expédition à la recherche de fossiles préhistoriques dans les territoires reculés et hostiles du Wyoming.
Mais la plus sanglante des guerres indiennes vient d'éclater. Et avec elle un autre conflit, plus intime, opposant deux célèbres paléontologues. 
Pactes, trahisons et meurtres rythmeront l'épopée de Johnson, peuplée de figures mythiques de l'Ouest : chasseurs de bisons et chasseurs de primes, généraux en déroute et Sioux sanguinaires, as de la gâchette et danseuses de saloon.
Tandis que sont mises au jour les traces de l'existence des titans de la Préhistoire, l'homme poursuit, lui, sa folle ruée vers l'or, la gloire... et d'inestimables vestiges de dinosaures.

Dent de dinosaure

Pirate Latitudes takes the reader back to 1665, when Charles II's Jamaican colony is under serious threat, besieged on every side by the voracious Spanish empire. At the centre of this troubled outpost is its crowded capital, Port Royal, a lively (if festering) hangout for criminal dregs, who inhabit its taverns and brothels. This is the time of the privateer, when (with tacit royal sanction), ship's captains could make sorties against Spanish ships and outposts, plundering at will -- just so long as the Governor and King Charles are taken care of. Michael Crichton's protagonist in this colourful mix is Captain Charles Hunter, educated at Harvard and a man with keenly developed survival instincts. He is made aware a treasure galleon, which is at anchor in the heavily fortified Spanish island of Matanceros, and Hunter's interest is piqued -- not least because this means he will be able to take on Philip of Spain's most ruthless enforcer, Cazalla. The stage is set for what will either be a glorious bit of naval smash-and-grab or that will end in the ignominious death of Charles Hunter and his motley crew.

Eruption - The Blockbuster Thriller of 2024

It is 922 A.D. The refined Arab courtier Ibn Fadlan is accompanying a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs—the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. As they enter the frozen, forbidden landscape of the North—where the day’s length does not equal the night’s, where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color—Fadlan soon discovers that he has been unwillingly enlisted to combat the terrors in the night that come to slaughter the Vikings, the monsters of the mist that devour human flesh. But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.

Les Mangeurs de morts

La marine américaine repère un vaisseau spatial gisant par trois mille mètres de fond dans le Pacifique Sud. Intact, l'engin aurait amerri voilà trois siècles. À bord d'un navire militaire et dans le plus grand secret, on dépêche sur zone une équipe de scientifiques : le psychologue Norman Johnson, son ex-compagne la zoologiste-biochimiste Elizabeth Halpern, le mathématicien-logisticien Harold Adams et l'astrophysicien Theodore Fielding. Ce qu'ils vont découvrir dans les abysses est à la fois terrifiant et terriblement séduisant. Sphère a été adapté au cinéma par Barry Levinson, avec Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman et Samuel L. Jackson.
