Clive Cussler

The dramatic Oregon Files tale from the #1 New York Times bestselling grand master of adventure.

In 1902, the volanco Mt. Pelee erupts on the island of Martinique, wiping out an entire city—and sinking a ship carrying a German scientist on the verge of an astonishing breakthrough. Over a century later, Juan Cabrillo will have to deal with that scientist’s legacy.

During a covert operation, Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon meticulously fake their own deaths—but when an unknown adversary tracks them down anyway, they must 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 Oregon on a race against time to stop an attack that could lead to one man ruling over the largest empire the world has ever known.
