ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:
Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon sail into a perfect storm of danger when they try to stop a new world war in this thrilling novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling grand master of adventure.
Hired to search for a collection of paintings worth half a billion dollars, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon soon find themselves in much deeper waters. The vicious leader of a Filipino insurgency is not only using them to finance his attacks, he has stumbled upon one of the most lethal secrets of World War II: a Japanese-developed drug, designed, but never used, to turn soldiers into super-warriors. To stop him, the Oregon must not only take on the rebel commander, but a South African mercenary intent on getting his own hands on the drug, a massive swarm of torpedo drones targeting the U.S. Navy, an approaching megastorm, and, just possibly, a war that could envelop the entire Asian continent.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Clive Cussler is the author or coauthor of more than 50 previous

“Another rollicking Juan Cabrillo adventure. Nefarious deeds and derring-do from the Monaco Grand Prix to Malta, Germany, Lithuania, Holland, and the Baltic. The exotic weapons-driven, more-threads-than-a-sweater narrative explodes with action, dead bodies hither and you, with Cabrillo making…skin-of-the teeth escapes.”—Kirkus Reviews
“High-octane…The authors keep things moving at a fast pace.”—Publishers Weekly
“A solid and fun entry that showcases what fans love when they pick up one of Cussler’s novels: a wonderful blend of action-adventure and history.”—Associated Press
“In typical Cussler fashion, The Emperor’s Revenge jumps from one exotic locale to another while never lessening in intensity. The characters are interesting, the villains are beyond bad, and it seems that peril exists around every corner. Cussler and Morrison have penned a winning summer thriller that is sure to please fans who have come to expect great things from the Cussler legacy.”—Bookreporter.com
