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.

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

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 …

Corsair is a Clive Cussler epic of action, intrigue and exhilarating suspense.
