Piranha by Clive Cussler Hardcover Book

Hardcover edition of 'Piranha' by Clive Cussler. “Juan Cabrillo is the perfect leader!" proclaims the Associated Press—but even his skills are about to be tested as never before. In 1902, the volcano Mt. Pelée erupts on the island of Martinique, wiping out an entire city of thirty thousand-and sinking a ship carrying a German scientist on the verge of an astonishing breakthrough. Over a century later, Juan Cabrillo will have to deal with that scientist's legacy. During a covert operation, Cabrillo and the crew meticulously fake the sinking of the Oregon-but when an unknown adversary tracks them down despite their planning and attempts to assassinate them, Cabrillo and his team struggle to fight back against an enemy who seems able to anticipate their every move. They discover that a traitorous American weapons designer has completed the German scientist's work, and now wields extraordinary power-sending the Oregon on a race against time to stop an attack that could lead to one man's ruling over the largest empire the world has ever known. Filled with the breakneck action and spectacular technology that are his hallmarks, Piranha is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, no one beats Clive Cussler.
