For five novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers intothe world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated shippacked with sophisticated equipment, and captainedby the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. And now the Oregon andits crew face their biggest challenge yet.
Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many differentvarieties. There are the pirates who fought off the Barbary Coastin the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporarypirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, andthe pirates . . . who look like something else.
When the U.S. secretary of state's plane crashes whilebringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrustingthe Libyans, hire Juan Cabrillo to search for her, and their misgivingsare well founded. The crew locates the plane, but thesecretary of state has vanished. It turns out Libya's new foreignminister has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillocannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamicscrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? Theanswers will lead him full circle into history, and into anotherpitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic terrorists,and with the fate of nations resting on its outcome.
'Readers will burn up the pages following the blazing actionand daring exploits of these men and women and their amazingmachines,' writes Publishers Weekly of the Oregon Files series.And they'll do it once again, with Corsair.
