Audio Book Description:
For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits ofthe Oregon, a covert ship completely dilapidated on the outside but on the inside packedwith sophisticated weaponry and intelligence gathering equipment. Captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew offormer military and spy personnel, it is a private enterprise, available for any government agency that can afford it-and now Cussler sends theOregon on its most extraordinary missionyet. The crew has just completed a top secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf when they come acrossa cruise ship adrift at sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and, as Cabrillo tries to determine what happened explosions rack the lengthof the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner`s sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himselfplunged into a mystery asintricate-and as perilous-as any he has ever known and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for thehuman race...plans he mayalready be too late to stop.
