Plague Ship

About the book

Through four novels, Clive Cussler has chronicled the adventures of the Oregon, a covert spy vessel that may appear run-down on the outside, but is equipped with advanced weaponry and intelligence-gathering technology within its walls. Led by the charismatic Juan Cabrillo, a one-legged captain, and staffed by a team of ex-military and spy operatives, the Oregon operates as a private enterprise available to governments willing to pay. Now, Cussler takes the Oregon on its most challenging mission yet.

Following a classified assignment in the Persian Gulf targeting Iran, the crew stumbles upon a drifting cruise ship in the open sea. The deck is covered with numerous bodies, and just as Cabrillo begins to investigate, the ship is rocked by explosions. In a race to save his own life and that of the only survivor, Cabrillo finds himself entangled in a complex and dangerous mystery. He faces off against a cult with diabolical plans for humanity, plans that he may not be able to thwart in time.
