Corsair

About the book

Throughout five novels, Clive Cussler has introduced readers to the world of the Oregon, a seemingly rundown ship equipped with advanced technology, led by the dashing Juan Cabrillo. Now, the Oregon and its crew are faced with their toughest challenge yet. Pirates, known as corsairs, come in various forms - from historical figures who fought the Barbary Coast to modern day pirates in African and Asian waters, and even those who disguise themselves in different ways.

After the U. S. Secretary of State's plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, the CIA enlists Cabrillo to locate her due to their suspicions of the Libyans. The crew finds the plane, but the Secretary of State is missing. It becomes clear that Libya's new foreign minister has ulterior motives for the conference, prompting Cabrillo to intervene. The mystery ties back to a centuries-old naval battle and ancient Islamic scrolls that the Libyans are determined to uncover.

The search for answers takes Cabrillo on a journey through history, leading to a showdown at sea against Islamic terrorists with the fate of nations hanging in the balance.
