Plague Ship

 For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits of the Oregon, a covert ship completely dilapidated on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated weaponry and intelligence-gathering equipment. Captained by the rakish, onelegged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew of former militarY and spy personnel, it is a private enterprise, avai able for any government agency that can afford it-and now Cussler, sends the Oregon on its most extraordinary mission yet.
