Product: Nan Madol: "Un futuro possibile, un coraggioso tentativo di unificare fantascienza e fantapolitica" (Italian Edition)
Description: Anno 2.066 d.c. La geografia politica della Terra è sconvolta dalla comparsa di un misterioso uomo politico che, divenuto Imperatore delle terre del contintente Oceanico, sembra perseguire il desiderio di unificare l’intero pianeta sotto la sua dominazione. Un archeologo, un’esobiologa, un mercante ed un hacker si troveranno, a causa di una serie di coincidenze, a dover risolvere un inafferrabile mistero archeologico e religioso. Un tormentato e pericoloso viaggio li porterà ad investigare tra le rovine dell’isola di Nan Matol e gli anfratti della montagna sacra australiana, Uluru. In un futuro nel quale tecnologia e tradizione si fondono impercettibilmente, i quattro compagni di viaggio dovranno affrontare una misteriosa organizzazione terroristica, le insidie di un Clero che pare intenzionato a difendere con tutte le sue forze il primato della Chiesa Cattolica e la ferocia delle forze armate dell’Impero Oceanico. Gli indizi che raccoglieranno durante la loro avventura sembra lascino intravedere una inquietante ed affascinante rilettura della storia dell’uomo e della vita sulla Terra. Un mistero che l’uomo non è mai riuscito a decifrare, pur avendo secoli di storia ed indizi malcelati sotto gli occhi, sta per emergere spontaneamente e un disegno della storia avviato circa novemila prima sta per avere compimento. Tradizioni, leggende, testi sacri e ritrovamenti da sempre circondati da un alone di mistero risultano d’un tratto illuminati da un nuovo e sorprendente chiarore.

Product: Seewölfe - Piraten der Weltmeere 522: Der Fluch von Nan Madol (German Edition)
Description: Die Entfernung zu den drei Langbooten mit den etwa vier Dutzend Kriegern an Bord betrug noch eine knappe Kabellänge, als der Häuptling einen Befehl rief. Da standen alle Krieger in einer einzigen fließenden Bewegung auf und griffen nach ihren Bogen. Einen Lidschlag später flog ein Pfeilhagel heran und spickte die Bordwand der "Santa Barbara", die unbeirrbar auf ihrem Kurs blieb. Als der nächste Pfeilhagel heranraste, gab Philip Hasard Killigrew den Feuerbefehl für die Drehbassen auf der Back der Galeone. Carberry und Al Conroy zündeten, und schon fegte der Blei- und Eisenhagel über das Wasser. Die Wirkung war verheerend...

Product: The Gold of the Gods
Description: Erich von Daniken, whose books have enthralled millions of readers and listeners around the world, now presents astonishing new confirmation for his revolutionary theories. Erich von Daniken's The Gold of the Gods unveils new evidence of an intergalactic "battle of the gods" whose losers retreated to, and settled, Earth. He explores a vast, mysterious underworld of Ecuador - caves filled with gold and writings in solid gold that go back to the time of the Great Flood, bolstering von Daniken's theory of a prehistoric earthly "era of the gods".

Product: The Mystery of the Ancient Stone City
Description: The Mystery of the Ancient Stone City
An ancient mystery, an astounding discovery, a medicine man with magical powers—a girl, her brother, and an intriguing island boy on a perilous trek through the jungle . . . The Mystery of the Ancient Stone City

Thirteen-year-old Sidney Jacobsen thought that when she flew to a remote Pacific island to live with her family for a year, she would be living in a beautiful native-style home in a tropical paradise. She also wanted to solve one of the greatest mysteries of all time—who built the ancient, enormous stone city of Nan Madol on the island, over a thousand years ago? Giants? Powerful creatures from another planet?

To her dismay, when Sid, her father, and her eleven-year-old brother Peter arrive on Pohnpei, they find that the conditions are more horrifying than they’d ever imagined, and that Nan Madol is off-limits to outsiders. Frightening intruders are sent by the Nanmarki, the King of Nan Madol, to scare Peter and Sid away from the mysterious ruins of the stone city. Then fourteen-year-old islander Jabro takes them on a boat trip that turns into a struggle for survival in the jungle. When they enter the forbidden and sacred burial ground in the stone city, they make a thrilling discovery. Challenged by physical threats as well as their own doubts and fears, the three adventurers must now find a way to return to their island home, while mustering the courage to keep secret the amazing discoveries they have made at Nan Madol.

Product: Lost City of Stone: The Story of Nan Madol, The "Atlantis" of the Pacific
Brand: Brand: Simon n Schuster
Description: There have been countless books and theories about the possible existence of the continent Atlantis, but hardly any consideration has been given to the very real, though mysterious, lost "Atlantis" of the Pacific - Nan Madol: a monolithic stone corpse of a city lying just off the island of Panape, largest island of the Pacific Carolines, and covering about eleven square miles. No one knows who built it - or, for that matter, why or how. It remains to this day a monument to a great lost civilization, its origins clouded in myth and legend (one being that it was inhabited by Demons and gods of nature). "Visiting the city is a shocking experience to a traveler," writes Bill Ballinger, who traveled to Nan Madol in 1976. "It is hidden from the air and is not visible from land or sea. Nan Madol lies beneath a thick canopy of towering trees and is entirely camoflaged by a thick, interlocking, repacious undergrowth of jungle brush, bushes, weeds, vines, and moss. The great walls [walls which were made from basalt-crystal 'logs,' and laid crosswise in a fashion similar to American log-cabin construction] have been wrecked by the thrusting roots of giant trees, and the cannibalistic appetite of the jungle gnaws away at the skeleton remains without stopping. As a boat [the only feasible way one can reach the place] approaches the site, the mangrove trees crowd the shoreline in an impenetrable screen. The only indication of the ruins is the remains of a sea wall, which now barely protudes above the water in disconnected sections. Abruptly, as the boat heads in toward the shore, small islets appear at irregular intervals. These are the former canals of the great city, laid out in a semicheckerboard, elongated plan. The canals are shallow, filled with silt and sand, their banks covered with jungle overgrowth...An eerie silence, broken only by the screams and calls of jungle birds, prevails under the towering green umbrella suddenly engulfing the entire world.
