Riassunto

Juan Cabrillo returns in Clive Cussler's Corsair, the sixth novel in the Oregon Files.

Off the coast of Somalia a battered, old freighter is boarded by pirates whose sights are set on a hefty ransom . .

But these pirates have made a mistake. For this rusting freighter is none other than Juan Cabrillo's secretive, state-of-the-art fighting ship Oregon. And Cabrillo is about to turn the tables on a deadly Somali pirate captain.

One spectacular battle later and Cabrillo finds himself embroiled in an even tougher assignment. The US Secretary of State's plane has crashed on its way to a summit in Libya - and she is missing. Cabrillo is the only one who can find her. But his search quickly involves a lost ancient jewel and a murderous plot by terrorists intent on plunging the world into chaos ...

The number-one bestseller Clive Cussler, author of the thrilling Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Treasure of Khan, and co-author Jack Du Brul pit hero Juan Cabrillo and his crew against pirates and terrorists in the sixth novel in the Oregon Files adventure series, Corsair.
