* ''Ghost Ship'' : Austin narrowly escapes with his life from a sinking yacht belonging to an old friend, but what he remembers doesn't make sense - Was she dead when he arrived? Or was the ship empty? He takes on a desperate search for answers, but he only gets more and more questions and deadly challenges that begin to make him question what is real and what is not, as he gets caught in a century-old mystery involving the dark world of cybercrime, a deadly yet somehow familiar femme fatale hailing from a family of thieves, and an abandoned steamship thought to be lost at sea a century ago.

* ''The Eye of Heaven'' : A Viking ship has just been discovered frozen in the Arctic-filled with pre-Colombian artifacts from the New World. The find sparks a race to find a fabled artifact known only as "The Eye of Heaven," but the race soon turns deadly. Contending against cartels, rival treasure hunters, and dangerous enemies with their own personal reasons for obtaining the artifact, Sam and Remi must juggle solving the mystery and staying alive while searching for the Eye, which could be the key clue in solving a millennium-old mystery.

* ''Pacific Vortex''*

* While ''Pacific Vortex'' was the first book to be written, it was the sixth to be published.

* ''The Grey Ghost'' : A man contacts the Sam and Remi with a desperate plea: Prove his grandfather's innocence in a crime that happened more than a century ago, involving the theft of a Rolls Royce prototype known as the Grey Ghost. Now, the Grey Ghost has disappeared again, and the treasure hunting duo is the man's only hope in clearing his family name. But the Fargoes are not the only ones searching for the Ghost...and their rivals are not opposed to eliminating the couple should they stand in their way.

* ''The Race'' : A daring aviatrix enters an aerial cross-country race, but the skies are more treacherous than they seem as she also struggles to escape the clutches of her estranged, and very dangerous, ex-husband. Armed with a plane of his own, Isaac Bell must risk life and limb to protect her, but it isn't just the aviatrix's violent ex that he needs to worry about...

* ''The Rising Sea'' : The ocean's sea levels are rising, and no one knows why. Global warming has been ruled out, but Austin gets word of an eccentric Japanese technophobe who might have an answer. As he sets out to meet with him, however, he attracts the attention of a ruthless Chinese businessman and his murderous Yakuza hitman. Who are these new adversaries? And how are they linked to the rising seas? It is up to NUMA to find out, before they commit an act that will shatter American/Japanese relations and give them access to a priceless advanced alloy that may have links to one of the greatest legends in Japanese history.

* ''Nighthawk'': An unmanned U.S. Air Force spaceplane carrying a volatile but priceless scientific cargo comes in for a landing - and promptly disappears completely. Austin and NUMA scramble to locate it while competing with China and Russia who wish to claim the cargo first, but there is a much more ominous reason for finding the plane quickly: should the batteries powering the systems that keep the cargo stable under cold storage fail, the resulting detonation of the cargo would vaporize a continent. And someone, perhaps even someone Austin knows, is trying to make precisely that happen as part of a mad gambit of revenge against the industrialized world.

* ''Polar Shift'' : As World War II drew to a close, a Hungarian scientist made a startling discovery on how to artificially trigger a global polar shift, but then he and his work disappeared. Now, that work has resurfaced in the hands of an anti-globalization group who intends to trigger such a shift. But what is started cannot be stopped, and if Austin can't halt the group's plans before they go in motion, it may trigger the end of the human race.

* '' The Storm'' : A NUMA research ship is found adrift at sea, reduced to a smoldering hulk with no sign of the crew by a swarm of nanobots originally designed to combat pollution. Someone, however, has hijacked them, and Austin must find out who quickly, or else the madman will unleash massive weather changes on a global scale that will kill millions and rewrite the global power balance - permanently.

* ''Medusa'' : After narrowly saving his best from a watery grave after a mysterious attack on his bathysphere, Austin learns that an entire top secret undersea lab has gone missing; and most alarmingly, its purpose was to research the deadly Blue Medusa jellyfish. Nothing good can come of stolen research of that nature, but what Austin uncovers stretches far beyond, entangling him in a deadly struggle involving a ruthless Chinese underground organization, horrifying medical experiments, and an engineered virus that could claim millions if it were released upon the world.

* ''The Rising Sea'' : The ocean's sea levels are rising, and no one knows why. Global warming has been ruled out, but when Austin gets word of an eccentric Japanese technophobe who might have an answer, he might get more than he bargained for when he attracts the attention of a ruthless Chinese-Japanese businessman and a murderous Yakuza assassin, who plan on shattering diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Japan to gain access to an advanced new alloy, one that may be a part of one of the greatest Japanese legends in history.
