Ein einzigartiges Unterwasser-Luxushotel in der Nähe einer tropischen Insel … wenige Tage vor dem großen Eröffnungswochenende. Die ganze Welt fiebert voller Spannung diesem nur ausgesuchten VIPs vorbehaltenen Megaereignis entgegen und nur zwei Dinge trennen das Hotel noch von seiner glamourösen Eröffnung – ein skrupelloser Geschäftsmann und ein achtzehn Meter langer prähistorischer Hai. Als der Unterwasserkomplex von dem räuberischen Ungeheuer belagert wird, muss die frischgebackene Meeresbiologin Coco Keahi den Kampf gegen das uralte Ungetüm aufnehmen. Doch die Gefahr lauert nicht nur im Wasser, denn auch ein menschliches Ungeheuer setzt alles daran, sie zu einem Opfer der Kreatur werden zu lassen …

Während die Ex-U. S.-Navy-Spezialisten Carter Hunt und Jayden Takada in ihrem ersten zivilen Auftrag damit beschäftigt sind, das Unterseekabel einer internationalen Telekommunikationsfirma zu reparieren, wendet sich Carters Ex-Freundin mit einer ungewöhnlichen Bitte an ihn. Die Archäologin benötigt jemanden mit der nötigen Erfahrung, um in eine überflutete Kammer der Pyramide von Gizeh abzutauchen. Hunt willigt ein, doch schon bald müssen sie feststellen, dass ihnen eine kriminelle Vereinigung auf den Fersen ist. Denn die Artefakte, die sie aus der Pyramide bergen konnten, scheinen den Weg zu der versunkenen Stadt Atlantis zu weisen. Eine weltumspannende Jagd nach der sagenumwobenen versunkenen Stadt – im Kampf gegen ein skrupelloses Untergrund-Konsortium.

In einem unterirdischen See in der Antarktis hoffen Forscher bisher unbekannte mikrobielle Organismen studieren zu können, doch was sie entdecken, ist weitaus erstaunlicher: vollständig erhaltene Dinosaurier-Leichen. Nachdem einer der Leichname auftaut und mit Heißhunger erwacht, wird deutlich, dass der Tod nicht zwangsläufig das Ende ist und das Leben immer einen Weg findet. Umweltaktivist Alex Ramirez, Sohn des Expeditions-Paläontologen, kam in die Antarktis, um die Organismen vor dem Aussterben zu bewahren. Nun muss er schnell lernen, dass es die menschliche Rasse ist, die Schutz benötigt.

A LOST CITY AN ILL-FATED HISTORICAL EXPEDITION A MODERN DAY QUEST FOR ONE OF HISTORY'S MOST ENDURING LEGENDS.... At the onset of the Second World War, Nazi Germany sends a multi-purpose expedition to Antarctica. Not all of its members return. Today in Egypt, hushed whispers in a Cairo bar hint of a long-lost second Sphinx hidden beneath the sands of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Boozy talk of a map therein to the lost city of Atlantis convinces a rag-tag band of local tour guides with mixed motives to take matters into their own hands. To find out if the rumors are true, without going through proper archaeological channels, they hastily descend beneath the traditional landmarks they think they know so well. When complacence bred by their familiarity leads them to a place much darker than expected-both literally and figuratively-- the surviving explorers are thrust into a perilous journey spanning the blistering sands of Egypt to the frigid ice of Antarctica as they search for physical proof of the legendary society. But as they follow an astonishing and deadly trail of clues, funded by an enigmatic and dangerously unpredictable Arab billionaire, the adventurers discover that Atlantis harbors secrets beyond its mere location. Atlantis, to this day, has guardians. And they are not human. GUARDIANS OF ATLANTIS

Matt Knox embodies a life of strict adherence to the law, navigating middle age without ever bending the rules.

On the threshold of opening the moon to tourist excursions, a private space firm owned by a visionary billionaire takes a team of non-astronauts to the lunar surface. To address concerns that the moon’s barren rock may not hold long-term allure for an uber-wealthy clientele, the company’s charismatic owner reveals to the group the ultimate life on the moon. But what is initially a triumphant and world-changing moment soon gives way to unrelenting terror as the team experiences firsthand that despite their technological prowess, the moon still holds many secrets.

An accomplished geneticist, known for trailblazing work with a gene editing technology known as CRISPR, is found dead at his desk in his South Florida home by apparent suicide. His jugular vein punctured with a foot-long T-rex claw. However, the claw is not a fossilized one. A simple note signed by the scientist reads, “I’m sorry.” A team of researchers and park rangers is hastily and quietly assembled to find out what it is he’s apologized for, suspecting he has unleashed a genetically altered animal atrocity into the wild. Unsure of exactly what to look for, the expedition sets out into the Everglades in a desperate search of what they fear might be a living predator not seen on Earth for millions of years. What they find is even worse—The entire Everglades has been transformed into an illicit breeding ground for the living, breathing results of unauthorized genetic tampering with extinct predators. Will the harried band of park rangers and scientists be able to contain the most outlandish bio-threat the world has ever seen? Or will the terrifying genetic EDITs made by the rogue scientist prove too ferocious to contain?

For centuries, would-be explorers have examined a document written in 1753 rumored to hold the key to locating the so-called Lost City of Z, a fortified settlement containing many treasures and built entirely of gold. Thought to be buried somewhere within the Mato Grosso region of the Amazon rainforest, the lure of the vanished riches has long proven deadly to treasure-seekers who brave the forbidding wilderness and mysterious creatures in search of it. Disgraced historian Dr. Hunter Winslow, fired from a lucrative professorship for stealing rare documents in order to gain a competitive edge over his colleagues, thinks the key to Manuscript 512 lies not in its words, but in its paper itself. The only problem is that to confirm his hypothesis means to destroy the document, something the Brazil National Library in Rio de Janeiro will never allow. But old habits die hard, and Hunter knows his way around a Special Collections room. After a brazen theft that triggers an international manhunt, the rogue historian is able to reveal the document

When a new island forms in the South Pacific after a volcanic eruption, nearby nations quarrel over who owns the fresh land. One of the countries sends an advance scouting party to plant flags and lay claim to the nascent isle, but none of that party returns. The sponsoring nation is accused of deception. Political rivals assert that members of the landing party are still on the island, building a military installation in secret. In response, a United Nations expedition is assembled to land a second, neutral outfit comprised of scientists and humanitarian aid workers. This team is well-equipped and ready to report back to the U.N. in-situ about the fate of the first party. But once on the island, they discover that along with hot magma, something else has been dredged up from deep within the Earth...something alive.
