Clive Cussler and Jack DuBrul have produced another riveting adventure in the Oregon series. For those of you who are new to this series, the Oregon appears to be a dilapidated freighter manned by a ragged looking crew when in reality it is a high tech and highly armed ship whose crew is known as the Corporation, and is led by Captain Juan Cabrillo, a former CIA field agent.

Kudos to Cussler for creating this character. We get...
