The world's oil supply is vanishing, the stock market is plummeting, and the key to saving the future seems to be a baffling historical mystery. Can the NUMA crew crack it in time? Sea of Greed is the suspenseful new NUMA Files novels from the #1 New York Times-bestselling grand master of adventure. After an explosion in the Gulf of Mexico destroys three oil rigs trying to revive a dying field, Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Projects Team are tapped by the President of the United States to find out what's gone wrong. The trail leads them to a brilliant billionaire in the alternative energy field. Her goal is the end of the oil age; her company has spent billions developing the worlds' most advanced fuel-cell systems. But is she an environmental hero...or a rogue genetic engineer? The NUMA crew discovers that the oil fields are infected with bacteria that are consuming the oil before it can be pumped out of the earth--a bacteria originally lost decades ago when two submarines vanished in the Mediterranean. With hired killers on his trail, can Kurt Austin locate a submarine that's remained hidden for more than fifty years? And even if he can, can the biological terror that's been unleashed be stopped?

Their hunt takes them from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, but it's in the East China Sea that a mysterious underwater mining operation is discovered. A devastating endgame. Kurt uncovers a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined: a plan to upset the Pacific balance of power, threatening the lives of millions. It falls to the NUMA team to risk everything to stop it and save the world from the coming catastrophe.

Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't-that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter, extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions. From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster . . . but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

If customers LIKE your brand, be afraid. In a landscape where individuals encounter 170,000 marketing messages by age 17 and 86% share social media content from the bathroom, less than 1% of young people trust advertising. Customers only discuss brands they LOVE. If your brand isn't being talked about, it might as well not exist. Brand Love is illustrated through examples like Starbucks, which has 18 million Instagram photos tagged without any paid promotion, and Xiaomi's tablet that sold out in 2.7 seconds. Monster Energy has thrived without advertising, while LEGO continues to sell billions in a digital age. These successes stem from Brand Love, where fans don't just "like" brands; they love them. Importantly, achieving Brand Love isn't limited to trendy brands; it's attainable for all, whether you're in aviation or beverages. Written by an ex-telecom CEO, a marketing head of a leading soda brand, and a digital anthropologist, this guide explores global examples of brands that fans and analysts rave about. It answers key questions: What is Brand Love? Why do some brands possess it while others are merely liked? How can you replicate their success? Through case studies, it highlights brands thriving in the digital age, achieving billion-dollar valuations without hefty ad budgets, and defying expectations by breaking conventional rules. Featured brands include Amazon, Apple, Disney, LEGO, and more.

How to minimise cose and create global competitive advantage. It doesn't make sense. Around the globe many organisations outsource all or part of their sales function and enjoy significant competitive advantage by doing so. Why is it then - and research commissioned for this book has confirmed this quantitatively - that the sales function is the least likely business function to be outsourced? The way most businesses approach their sales function has remained largely stagnant. Meanwhile, other areas of business have been reinvented over and over. Where other functions - information technology and logistics, for instance - are frequently outsourced in order to access benefits including flexibility, expertise and cost savings, the sales function is more often than not kept in-house. In Death of the Salesman, we argue that this situation offers a significant potential source of competitive advantage for those firms willing to look beyond 'the way we do things around here'. The sales function is ripe for reinvention - this book shows you how this reinvention can be achieved.

It is called zero point energy, and it really exists—a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited.

The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren’t able to find and destroy them, and soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors and unchecked volcanism. Now, that can’t be good.

The thrilling new novel in the New York Times bestselling Kurt Austin Adventures… In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a NUMA research vessel is taking water samples when a crew member spots a patch of black oil ahead of them. But the substance is not oil. Like a horde of army ants, a swarm of black particles from the spoiled sea suddenly attacks, killing everyone aboard while the ship goes up in flames. A few hours later, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are on their way to the Indian Ocean. What they find on the smoldering hulk of the ship will eventually lead them to discover the most audacious scheme they have ever encountered: a plan to permanently alter the weather on a global scale. The insidious plot will kill millions…and it has already begun.

It's a journey that takes them around the world and draws the fury of the mysterious Bloodstone group - an international network of murderous individuals who'll kill anyone in their way. But what do gunmen want with ancient loot? One thing is for sure, if Kurt is to find out he's going to be in the cross hairs of some ruthless and well-armed foes...
