Corsair : a novel of the Oregon files / Clive Cussler, with Jack Du Brul.
When the U.S. Secretary of State's plane crashes while bringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrusting the Libyans, hires Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon to search for her. The misgivings prove well-founded. The crew locates the plane--but the Secretary of State has vanished. A terrorist mastermind has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillo cannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamic scrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? The answers will lead Cabrillo full circle into history, and into another pitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic extremists, and with the fate of nations resting on its outcome.
