Gli Oregon Files: Corsair

More about the book

For five novels, Clive Cussler has immersed readers in the world of the "Oregon," a seemingly rundown ship equipped with advanced technology, captained by the charming, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. Now, the crew faces their greatest challenge yet. Corsairs, a diverse breed of pirates, have emerged. The U.S. secretary of state's plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, prompting the CIA to enlist Cabrillo to locate her, fueled by distrust of the Libyans. The crew finds the wreckage, but the secretary is missing. Libya's new foreign minister has his own agenda for the conference, which Cabrillo must thwart. This situation ties back to a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and the Libyans' obsession with ancient Islamic scrolls. The search for answers leads Cabrillo through history and into a fierce maritime conflict against Islamic terrorists, with the fate of nations at stake. Readers will be captivated by the thrilling action and bold exploits of Cabrillo and his crew as they navigate this high-stakes adventure, continuing the excitement of the "Oregon" Files series.
