Publisher Description
For five novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. And now the Oregon and its crew face their biggest challenge yet. Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many different varieties. There are the pirates who fought off the Barbary Coast in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporary pirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, and the pirates . . . who look like something else. When the U.S. secretary of state’s plane crashes while bringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrusting the Libyans, hire Juan Cabrillo to search for her, and their misgivings are well founded. The crew locates the plane, but the secretary of state has vanished. It turns out Libya’s new foreign minister has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillo cannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two- hundred- year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamic scrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? The answers will lead him full circle into history, and into another pitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic terrorists, and with the fate of nations resting on its outcome.

"This is a Tom Clancy, Brad Thor type read, yet completely clean. Not one swear word or adult situation. Although most is cloak and dagger, there is violence, more than my kids would be ready for so age appropriateness be at least older than 12. "

— Jared, 2/7/2014 -
" Clive Cussler is always good for a cute, fun, easy read escape. So nice after a long day at work! "
— Gramma, 1/31/2014 -
" Could not put it down. "
— Cathy, 1/30/2014 -
" A good read( pardon the pun). There"s never a dull moment in a Cussler book. The action is fast paced and I always learn a little history and geography as well. "
— Nikhammer, 1/29/2014 -
" light reading- plenty of less than believable violence, no sex. Very much like Indiana Jones. "
— Stan, 1/26/2014 -
" Love Clive Cussler "
— Mona, 1/25/2014 -
" I really like the Oregon Files series. Really fine story telling. "
— Bill, 1/20/2014 -
" It was a good book but you had to keep track of the characters. "
— Anita, 1/17/2014 -
" Another wonderful book by a great author. "
— Heather, 1/15/2014 -
" Another goodie. This one would make a great movie! "
— Maren, 11/13/2013 -
" What can I say about Cussler. I love his books and have read most of them. "
— Mike, 11/2/2013 -
" A lot of action, definitely. Too many pirate/ship names for me to keep track of. Interesting though. "
— YingYing, 10/27/2013 -
" AUDIObook - Well- it was a good swash-buckler until the very end. Then just too sappy and unbelievable (yeah, right - a Beliveable swashbuckler??). "
— Ben, 10/17/2013 -
" One of the better Oregon Files books. "
— Thomas, 7/22/2013 -
" This is what I call a "man" book but I didn't have any other options to listen to at the moment. Kind of a like a Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy) novel without all the military history. "
— Jenni, 5/14/2013 -
" I always look forward to a new Clive Cussler. But, for some reason, this one seemed a little flat to me. I still enjoy the main character of Juan Cabrillo - but the adventures and suspense in this one weren't as intense as usual. "
— Kirsten, 11/11/2012 -
" I've never read a Cussler book I haven't liked and this one is no exception. (You do have to suspend disbelief a time or two but still a good read) "
— Nick, 9/19/2012 -
" Oh come on. People really read this stuff? Might make a good action movie with an unlimited budget for blowing stuff up and killing hapless terrorists, but to read? I think I'm one and done with Cussler, unless anyone out there recommends another of his that is at least slightly plausible. "
— Rick, 8/17/2012 -
" Nice escapist adventure. "
— Greg, 8/13/2012 -
" A nice lite read. "
— Michael, 5/22/2012 -
" It will make a great "Indian Jones" type movie, however, in my opinion it wasn't a good as many of his other books. I didn't really care what happened to any of the characters. Definitely not a Dirk Pitt in the group. "
— Lucky, 1/27/2012 -
" As good as his best ones ever! "
— Shannon, 1/23/2012 -
" Juan Cabrillo doet met zijn schip weer waar hij het beste in is. Problemen oplossen. "
— Willem, 1/12/2012 -
" Great read, I think this must be the best in the Oregon Files books so far "
— Nigel, 12/24/2011 -
" Even though the action and escape sections border on nearly unbelievable, I enjoyed the plot, fast action scenes and dramatic escapes. A nice bit of escapism to keep me company on my business flight and extended lay-over "
— Rick, 10/10/2011 -
" This was a GREAT book. I love the premise of the book and the history of the Muslim Mullah living with the Christian and changing his mind about the need for Jihad. If only we could find such documentation today. Alas... "
— Phillip, 8/23/2011 -
" This was a very exciting read, Clive Cussler is a real story teller. "
— Morris, 7/6/2011 -
" Pretty standard Cussler, pretty much a Micheal Bay movie in book form. Entertaining though, and nice and light. "
— Matt, 6/29/2011 -
" <br/>As most of Clive Cusslers books, this is an adventure, an interesting story of the past to begin with, and then ....into the future. Just a book you start and finish in (almost) one sitting. <br/>Entertaining.. "
— Corry, 6/20/2011 -
" One of Cussler's better books in along time. Very entertaining and an easy read. "
— Mikem, 6/12/2011 -
" Love Juan Cabrillo & the Corporation books (The Oregon Files). This is one the best in the series. Non-stop action. Very enjoyable. "
— Jo, 6/4/2011 -
" We are liking this book better than some of Clive Cussler's books. He goes into a lot of detail so listening to his books is sometimes tedious, but this one seemed more interesting. "
— Joanne, 5/23/2011 -
" One of Clive's better yarns, with a great surprise at the end. "
— Rob, 5/21/2011 -
" Just another Clive Cussler Thriller where the good guys sweep in and win the battle against unbelievable odds! Just the way I like my stories! <br/> "
— Eric, 5/16/2011 -
" May 28/11: Chapter 6 <br/>June 06/11: Chapter 9 <br/>June 07/11: Chapter 11 <br/>June 08/11: Chapter 14 <br/>June 17/11: Chapter 17 <br/>June 18/11: Chapter 25 <br/>June 19/11: Finished "
— Lemonitsa, 5/15/2011 -
" One of the best in the Oregon Files series. Maybe THE best. "
— Frank, 5/15/2011 -
" This was an OK light entertainment read. Plenty of ridiculous stuff in it, but enough of a story to keep it decently good. Not much else to say about it... "
— Phil, 5/10/2011 -
" Clive Cussler Novels = My Guilty Pleasure. :) "
— Robert, 5/10/2011
