Renowned marine adventurer Dirk Pitt returns to stem a toxic outbreak. While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous - a post-Castro power struggle for the control of Cuba. Meanwhile, Pitt's children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings the pair both to Cuba as well - and squarely into harm's way. Pitt father, son and daughter have been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now. Dirk Pitt returns in Havana Storm, the thrilling new novel from the grandmaster of adventure and No.1 New York Times bestselling author, Clive Cussler.

In 1934, hundreds of jobless World War I veterans were sent to the remote Florida Keys to build a highway from Miami to Key West. The Roosevelt Administration was making a genuine effort to help these down-and-out vets, many of whom suffered from what is known today as post-traumatic stress disorder. But the attempt to help them turned into a tragedy. The supervisors in charge of the veterans misunderstood the danger posed by hurricanes in the low-lying Florida Keys. In late August 1935, a small, stealthy tropical storm crossed the Bahamas, causing little damage. When it entered the Straits of Florida, however, it exploded into one of the most powerful hurricanes on record. But US Weather Bureau forecasters could only guess at its exact position, and their calculations were well off the mark. The hurricane that struck the Upper Florida Keys on the evening of September 2, 1935 is still the most powerful hurricane to make landfall in the US. Supervisors waited too long to call for an evacuation train from Miami to move the vets out of harm’s way. The train was slammed by the storm surge soon after it reached Islamorada. Only the 160-ton locomotive was left upright on the tracks. About 400 veterans were left unprotected in flimsy work camps. Around 260 of them were killed. This is their story, with newly discovered photos and stories of some of the heroes of the Labor Day 1935 calamity.

A few weeks after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect, James Montgomery sailed into Key West Harbor looking for black men to draft into the Union army. Eager to oblige him, the military commander in town ordered every black man from fifteen to fifty to report to the courthouse, “there to undergo a medical examination, preparatory to embarking for Hilton Head, S.C.” Montgomery swept away 126 men. Storm over Key West is a little-known story woven of many threads, but its main theme is the denial to black people of the equality central to the American ideal. After the island’s slaves flocked to freedom during the summer of 1862, the white majority began a century-long campaign to deny black residents civil rights, education, literacy, respect, and the vote. Key West’s harbor and two major federal forts were often referred to as “America’s Gibraltar.” This Gibraltar guarded the Florida Straits between Key West and Cuba and thus access to the Gulf of Mexico. When Union forces seized it before the war, the southernmost point of the Confederacy slipped out of Confederate hands. This led to a naval blockade based in Key West that devastated commerce in Florida and beyond.This book is the widest-ranging narrative history to date of the military bastion in the Florida Keys.

«I romanzi di Clive Cussler sono come quei blockbuster cinematografici che vorresti snobbare mano, devi ammettere che vincono loro.» la Repubblica Ritorna il re degli abissi Dirk Pitt nella serie amatissima di un maestro dell'avventura ... E se la fortuna avesse smesso di sorridere a Dirk Pitt? Mentre sta indagando insieme ad Al Giordino, suo inseparabile compagno d’avventure, su una terribile e misteriosa epidemia che dilaga nel Mar dei Caraibi e che rischia di minacciare gli Stati Uniti, Dirk Pitt, l’Indiana Jones dei mari, si trova coinvolto suo malgrado in qualcosa di infinitamente più pericoloso: una lotta per il controllo del potere nella Cuba post Castro... Nel frattempo i suoi figli, l’ingegnere navale Dirk jr e l’oceanografa Summer, sono sulle tracce di un’antichissima pietra azteca che potrebbe condurre alla scoperta di un tesoro dal valore incalcolabile. Le ultime informazioni in loro possesso dicono che è andata perduta con la corazzata Maine, ormeggiata nel porto dell’Avana nel 1898. Sulle tracce della verità, i due giovani raggiungono Cuba, dov’è anche il padre... finendo dritto nei guai. Non è certo la prima volta in cui Dirk Pitt e i suoi figli si trovano in situazioni estreme, ma questa minaccia di essere l’ultima... Ritmo mozzafiato, suspense e una ricchezza immaginativa che non hanno rivali. Quando si parla di Avventura, i Cussler si riconfermano imbattibili.

A panoramic social history of hurricanes in the Caribbean The diverse cultures of the Caribbean have been shaped as much by hurricanes as they have by diplomacy, commerce, or the legacy of colonial rule. In this panoramic work of social history, Stuart Schwartz examines how Caribbean societies have responded to the dangers of hurricanes, and how these destructive storms have influenced the region's history, from the rise of plantations, to slavery and its abolition, to migrations, racial conflict, and war. Taking readers from the voyages of Columbus to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Schwartz looks at the ethical, political, and economic challenges that hurricanes posed to the Caribbean’s indigenous populations and the different European peoples who ventured to the New World to exploit its riches. He describes how the United States provided the model for responding to environmental threats when it emerged as a major power and began to exert its influence over the Caribbean in the nineteenth century, and how the region’s governments came to assume greater responsibilities for prevention and relief, efforts that by the end of the twentieth century were being questioned by free-market neoliberals. Schwartz sheds light on catastrophes like Katrina by framing them within a long and contentious history of human interaction with the natural world. Spanning more than five centuries and drawing on extensive archival research in Europe and the Americas, Sea of Storms emphasizes the continuing role of race, social inequality, and economic ideology in the shaping of our responses to natural disaster.
