Corsair by Clive Cussler & Jack du Brul (Oregon Files #6) (Paperback)

Clive Cussler’s popular book series takes readers deep into the world of the Oregon, a weather-worn ship equipped with cutting-edge technology, led by the captivating and rugged Juan Cabrillo. As Cabrillo and his crew embark on their fifth adventure, they face their most daunting test yet – battling a variety of pirates, from those who historically opposed the Barbary Coast to modern-day pirates on the waters of Asia and Africa, as well as a new kind of pirate who presents a unique challenge.

After the US Secretary of State’s plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, the CIA employs Cabrillo to locate her, suspecting foul play from the Libyan government. The crew successfully locates the wreckage, but the Secretary is nowhere to be found. As the story unfolds, Cabrillo discovers that Libya’s new foreign minister has a hidden agenda for the summit, one that threatens international peace, and Cabrillo makes it his mission to stop him. With the discovery of ancient Islamic scrolls and the unearthing of a 200-year-old naval battle, Cabrillo must delve deeply into history, leading to a harrowing sea battle against Islamic terrorists – a battle with the fate of nations in the balance.
