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.

In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artefact hidden in a cave for a millennium: a 50, 000-year-old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone - which he soon discovers possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing terrorist 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 ship of high-tech mercenaries known as the Corporation must fight to protect the scientist of the Sacred Stone - and prevent the outbreak of World War III . . .
