About the book
Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon find themselves exposed when a brilliant scientist blows their cover in the #1 New York Times bestselling series by the grand master of adventure.
Back in 1902, Mt. Pelée volcano erupted on the island of Martinique, destroying a whole city of thirty thousand people and sinking a ship that had a German scientist aboard, about to make a groundbreaking discovery. Fast forward to over a hundred years later, Juan Cabrillo will have to confront the consequences of that scientist's work.
During a secret mission, Cabrillo and his team stage the sinking of the Oregon with great care - but unexpectedly, an unknown enemy manages to track them down and tries to kill them, despite their meticulous planning. Now, Cabrillo and his crew face a fierce battle against an adversary who seems to always be one step ahead. They uncover the fact that a disloyal American weapons creator has finished what the German scientist started, gaining unimaginable power and putting the Oregon in a race against the clock to avert an imminent attack that could result in one man ruling over the largest empire in history.
