The Missing Expedition

In January 2028, glaciologist Dr. Catalina Mella and five colleagues are studying unusual geothermal activity beneath an inland glacier at Estación Sarmiento, a remote Chilean research outpost on the Antarctic Peninsula. Their survey uncovers a sealed ice cavity dated to about twelve thousand years ago, containing six expedition tents bearing their own project insignia and five frozen bodies that resemble older versions of the team. When Catalina goes missing and her notebook opens with the unsettling sentence “We were wrong about which way it was happening,” the scientists must test every explanation while a severe storm blocks evacuation.

The Sea Keeps Its Secrets

In Lisbon in 2026, Inés Valdés, a sharp-witted diver who makes her living exposing forged maps, is hired to authenticate a navigation book owned by a wealthy collector. Inside it she finds a hidden account suggesting that part of the cargo of the Flor de la Mar was unloaded before the ship sank near Sumatra in 1511. Within hours the collector is dead, the book has vanished, and her report has been altered to implicate her in fraud. Funded by a heritage foundation, Inés travels to Melaka and the waters off Sumatra with a historian, a marine surveyor and a technician, while a charming art adviser offers help that may not be what it seems. As rival searchers close in, she must uncover the truth and keep her team alive.
