It's not a myth. It exists. Find it. Ambitious geologist Ross Kelly has it all: a lucrative career searching for oil across the world and a beautiful, brilliant wife, Lauren, pregnant with their first child. But when Lauren, a Yale academic, deciphers the university's mysterious Voynich manuscript, which has confounded experts for centuries, everything changes. An attempt to steal her translation of the Voynich leaves Lauren and their unborn child hovering on the brink of death, and Ross in the depths of despair. Encounters with a sinister Vatican priest and then a mysterious nun convince Ross to seek salvation in the four-and-a-half-centuries-old manuscript, which chronicles the ill-fated discovery of a mythic, fabulous garden, deep in the jungles of the New World: an Eden so terrible and miraculous it rewrites the book of Genesis and defies all reason. Although everyone tells him the story is surely an allegory, the possibility of the garden's existence offers Ross the only hope of saving Lauren and their unborn child. With a ragbag group of confederates, each with their own motivations, he decides to seek the garden out before it's too late. But he is not alone.Racing against time, a lethal assassin and a fanatical priest desperate to claim the miraculous garden for his church, Ross' quest will lead him eventually to a place that might challenge everything he ever thought about the source of life on earth.

When the ultimate solution becomes the ultimate crime... Violent crime has become a global epidemic, nowhere more so than in the United States.Everything from the death penalty to liberal reforms has failed.Nothing has been effective...until now. Project Conscience promises to be the solution. It is a bold attempt by a powerful group of scientists, politicians and senior law-enforcement personnel to use gene therapy to treat criminals and cure violent crime. But among their number are those with a more sinister agenda, who would go further and turn the dream of Project Conscience into the nightmare of Crime Zero. It is up to Luke Decker, a criminal psychologist disillusioned with the growing dependence on genetic science and Dr Kathy Kerr, his one-time lover and ideological adversary, to fight this deadly new scheme, a scheme so ruthless in intent and so vast in scope that it will irrevocably change the evolution of mankind itself

Light divides the Universe into two: Day and Night. Good and Evil. Life and Death. Now its power, harnessed by a new generation of optical computers, attempts to answer mankind's last great question: What happens to us when we die? But this is perilous knowledge, as Dr. Miles Fleming, a brilliant young neuroscientist, discovers. To find the truth he must challenge the certainties of both science and religion, and embark on a journey which jeopardises his most basic assumptions and beliefs. On reaching the final terrifying revelation he realises that there are perhaps some things mankind should never know. For shining a light on the truth can sometimes reveal the darkest recesses of hell itself. Lucifer is a heartstopping descent into our deepest fears. At its core is the story of one man's courageous quest for meaning and purpose in a world where hope is dangerously elusive.

Tom Carter, reputado genetista, ha traspasdo los límites de la ciencia. Pero sus descubrimientos tienen una doble consecuencia: no sólo sabe más de lo que cualquier hombre puede soportar, sino que se ha convertido en blanco de una fanática secta religiosa que no ve con buenos ojos que un hombre juegue a ser Dios. A Tom no le queda más remedio que hacer un milagro para frenar el mal que ha desatado.

At the moment of his supreme triumph, a man of science dodges an assassin's bullet and loses everything that truly matters in his life. Now only a miracle can save Dr. Tom Carter's dying daughter: the blood of salvation shed twenty centuries ago. In the volatile heart of the Middle East, amid the devastating secrets of an ancient brotherhood awaiting a new messiah, Tom Carter must search for answers to the mysteries that have challenged humankind since the death and resurrection of the greatest Healer who ever walked the Earth. Because suddenly Carter's life, the life of his little girl, and the fate of the world hang in the balance ... After two thousand years, the wait is over ...

How can a drug that makes people fall madly in love be a bad thing? So thinks Professor Bacci when he inadvertently unlocks the biochemical key to falling in love, and develops a drug capable of creating emotions indistinguishable from the real thing. Determined that the world benefits from his discovery, he seeks funding and business advice from a private Swiss bank, owned by the secretive Kappel family. Unknown to Bacci, however, Helmut Kappel sees love as a sickness to be exploited, and has his own plan for abusing the drug's power; a cynical nightmare of breathtaking arrogance far removed from Bacci's naive dream of spreading love around the world. Only two people can stop Kappel's dark vision. One is Professor Bacci's daughter Isabella, a doctor dedicated to saving lives. The other is Kappel's own son and heir, Max, a man raised to feel no emotion and show no pain, a killer apparently incapable of love. But before they confront Kappel they must first confront their feelings for each other. Can love conquer all in a world where even true love can be faked?
