The New York Post called him "just about the best storyteller in the business." Now, Clive Cussler, creator of the bestselling NUMA(r) and Dirk Pitt(r) series, presents his latest and most intriguing high-seas action hero: the enigmatic captain of the Oregon, Juan Cabrillo. Only Cabrillo could convert the interior of a nondescript lumber hauler into a state-of-the-art spy ship -- and only he could take the helm on the dangerous covert missions it carries out for whichever US agency pays the price. In this first feature-length adventure, Cabrillo and his crew of expert intelligence and naval men must put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by striking a deal with the Russians and Chinese. His gambling chip is a Golden Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land. But first, he'll have to locate -- and steal -- the all-important artifact. And there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail . . .

Juan Cabrillo, de kapitein van het supermoderne spionageschip Oregon, voert voor zijn opdrachtgevers uiterst gevaarlijke en geheime missies uit. De inzet is nog nooit zo hoog geweest. Cabrillo en zijn uit zeer ervaren inlichtingen- en marinemensen bestaande bemanning moeten ervoor zorgen dat Tibet door middel van een deal tussen de Russen en Chinezen weer in handen komt van de Dalai lama. Het voorwerp waar in dit geval alles om draait is de Gouden Boeddha, waarin gedetailleerde gegevens over enorme oliereserves in dat betwiste land verborgen zitten. Maar eerst zal hij dat kostbare kunstvoorwerp moeten zien te lokaliseren en stelen. En er zijn bepaalde mensen die bereid zijn alles te doen wat in hun macht ligt om te voorkomen dat hij daarin zal slagen.

Juan Cabrillo and his CIA-backed Oregon crew must beat opposing factions to a discovery that could prevent World War III in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millennium: a 50,000 year-old radioactive meteorite known as the Sacred Stone. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing groups who seek the stone for themselves. One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the west. The other group is led by a megalomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself. Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his crew must fight to protect the scientist and the Sacred Stone—and prevent the outbreak of World War III...
