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.'

Durante una delle loro scorribande, le cose non vanno secondo quanto avevano stabilito, e tutti e quatto i membri del club vengono aggrediti in maniera crudele da due misteriosi personaggi, Fat Boy e l'Uomo Cobra. Bill riesce a fuggire e decide di chiedere aiuto proprio allo zio Hank, per sfuggire ai tentativi di vendetta dei due pericolosi assassini.

In un caldo pomeriggio texano, Cindy Nance rivela a Doug Hoover due grandi segreti della vita. Il primo lo entusiasma, mentre il secondo, che i ragazzi crescono e devono lavorare, lo delude. Attraverso matrimoni falliti e lavori insoddisfacenti, Doug si rende conto della verità delle parole di Cindy. Deluso dal presente, cerca di rivivere le gioie del passato, decidendo di lasciare moglie e lavoro. Tuttavia, la sua vita cambia quando incontra Sue Jean, il sogno di una vita, e Royce, un vagabondo. I tre si ritrovano in un mondo avventuroso, dove la vita, la morte e l’amore assumono nuovi significati. In questo romanzo on the road, le emozioni si intrecciano in un caleidoscopio di follie narrative. La realtà e la magia si confondono, creando un universo in cui tutto sembra possibile. I sogni si mescolano alla vita reale, e le strade conducono esattamente dove si deve andare. Il tono ironico ricorda altri maestri texani, come Larry McMurtry, mentre l'assurdità della narrazione porta alla mente Thomas Pynchon.
