Ex-CIA ship captain Juan Cabrillo leads the crew of the Oregon on a
quest to save a kidnapped politician in this adventure in the #1 New
York Times-bestselling series.
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.
