About this eBook

Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon find themselves exposed when a brilliant scientist blows their cover in the #1 New York Times–bestselling series by the grand master of adventure.
 
In 1902, the volcano Mt. Pelée erupts on the island of Martinique, wiping out an entire city of thirty thousand—and sinking a ship carrying a German scientist on the verge of an astonishing breakthrough. More than a century later, Juan Cabrillo will have to deal with that scientist’s legacy.

During a covert operation, Cabrillo and the crew meticulously fake the sinking of the Oregon—but when an unknown adversary tracks them down despite their planning and attempts to assassinate them, Cabrillo and his team struggle to fight back against an enemy who seems to be able to anticipate their every move. They discover that a traitorous American weapons designer has completed the German scientist’s work, and now wields extraordinary power, sending the Oregonon a race against time to stop an attack that could lead to one man ruling over the largest empire the world has ever known.

Ratings and reviews

Like all the other Oregon Files, I didn't wanna put it down and I didn't want it to end. Also, for those bad mouthing the book. If you're going to insult anything or anyone, learn to use at least somewhat proper grammar or English in general. Mine isn't perfect, but at least it makes sense. But that's besides the point, I would recommend this book to anyone, this series is what got me into reading this genre. So read it and you will not be disappointed.

Next to Dirk and Kurt, Juan is my favorite. St Julian made an appearance in this one and Dirk and Sandover were mentioned. Did I catch something here about the Gioridonian Cargo Co? Will have to go back and re-read to see if this was in reference to Dirk's sidekick? What, no cameo from Clive?

Clive Cussler does it again with another great book. I have read everything he has written and can't wait for the next release no matter what it is. Keep them coming.
