Bell must hunt down a new piece of technology that is allowing the Germans to rule the seas from New York to England.

For five novels, Clive Cussler has immersed readers in the world of the "Oregon," a seemingly worn ship equipped with advanced technology, captained by the charismatic Juan Cabrillo. Now, the crew faces their greatest challenge yet. Corsairs, or pirates, come in various forms—from those who battled on the Barbary Coast to modern-day marauders in Africa and Asia. When the U.S. secretary of state's plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, the CIA enlists Cabrillo to find her, fueled by distrust of the Libyans. Their concerns prove justified when the crew discovers the plane but not the secretary. Libya's new foreign minister has his own agenda for the conference, which Cabrillo must thwart. The situation ties back to a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and ancient Islamic scrolls that the Libyans are desperately seeking. The unfolding events will draw Cabrillo into a historical confrontation at sea against Islamic terrorists, with the fate of nations hanging in the balance. Readers will be captivated by the thrilling action and daring exploits of Cabrillo and his crew, as highlighted by "Publishers Weekly" regarding the "Oregon" Files series.

An exhilarating new adventure in the bestselling Oregon Files series. For six novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. But the Oregon's seventh adventure is its most remarkable yet. On 7 December 1941, four brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbour. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Clive Cussler is hard to beat.'
