The Oregon Files: Corsair

Más información sobre el libro

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.
