His
first novel of the Oregon Files was hailed as "honestly
fabulous" (Kirkus Reviews). Now, Clive Cussler, creator
of the bestselling NUMA® and Dirk Pitt® series,
returns with an all-new novel of adventure and intrigue
featuring the enigmatic high-seas action hero Juan Cabrillo...
In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has
unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millennium
- a 50,000-year-old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone,
which possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power.
But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of
two opposing terrorist groups who seek the stone for themselves.
One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear
device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize
any city inthe West. The other group is led by a megalomaniacal
industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation
of Islam itself.
Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter,
Juan Cabrillo and his ship of high-tech mercenaris known
as the Corporation must fight to protect the Sacred Stone
- and prevent the outbreak of World War III.
