Clive Cussler, author of the bestselling Dirk Pitt novels including Arctic Drift and Black Wind, and co-author Craig Dirgo put hero Juan Cabrillo to the test once more in the second Oregon Files adventure, Sacred Stone.

Tens of thousands of years ago: a fist of stone punches through the Earth’s atmosphere and falls on the snowy wastes of Greenland – its deadly secret waiting to be found by man…

The discovery of a radioactive meteorite in Greenland sends Jan Cabrillo and the crew of his hi-tech ship Oregon – in Iceland to seize a nuclear weapon from terrorists – on a second rescue mission: to retrieve the dangerous stellar object before someone unlocks the terrible properties it holds. Unfortunately, Cabrillo is too late to prevent a fanatical group from spiriting the orb away. Now Cabrillo and his team aboard the Oregon have two problems: preventing the detonation of a nuclear bomb in London on New Year’s Eve, and getting their hands on the meteorite before a madman uses it to start World War III…
