Part of Oregon Files, book 8
First published 2011
Juan Cabrillo commands the Oregon when a woman vanishes in the jungles of northern Thailand and Myanmar. The disappearance connects to a devastating weapon first deployed in thirteenth-century China. Cabrillo and his crew must navigate three different jungles to complete their mission. The steamy rain forests of the Burmese highlands test their physical limits. The world of covert operations surrounds them with lies and betrayals. Most dangerous of all are the twisted thoughts of a man pursuing near-global domination. The crew undertakes a daring rescue in the snowbound mountains along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. These seemingly separate events converge into a single threat. Cabrillo discovers he faces the greatest danger to U.S. security the world has ever known. The Oregon's crew must survive all three jungles to prevent catastrophe.
