About this ebook

Juan Cabrillo and his crew aboard the Oregon take on modern-day pirates for a surprising new client in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series. 

Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a very comfortable and very dangerous living working for high-powered Western interests. But their newest clients have come from the Far East to ask for Cabrillo's special brand of assistance: a consortium of Japanese shipping magnates whose fortunes are being threatened by brutal pirates trolling the waters of Southeast Asia.

Normally, such attacks on the high seas are limited to smaller ships and foreign-owned yachts-easy targets on the open ocean. Now, however, giant commercial freighters are disappearing. But when Cabrillo confronts the enemy, he learns that the pirates' predations hide a deadly international conspiracy-a scheme of death and slavery that Juan Cabrillo is going to blow out of the water.

Ratings and reviews

As a devoted fan of Cussler, this was one of the best novels by far. Although disappointed with the last Fargo book, this one was a burning page turner. I thought I read all the Oregon books but this one was a pleasant surprise.

It's not often that you find an author who writes so well. The books are well written and always exciting. Let us hope there are many , many more.

The only thing I can't figure out is why they don't epublish the true beginning of the Oregon files.
