The Oregon crew face their greatest threat – a ship as secretive and powerful as their own and an enemy from their captain’s past every bit as wily and canny as Cabrillo himself . . .

When the CIA realizes the identities of three American spies in Brazil have been compromised, they turn to Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon to rescue the agents.

What seems like a routine operation turns out to be a trap designed by Juan Cabrillo’s greatest enemy, seeking revenge.

At the heart of the plot is a state-of-the-art ship that is identical to the Oregon: same weaponry, same technology, same ability to evade capture.

But it doesn’t have is Cabrillo and his talented crew – will they be enough to go up against the only ship that rivals their own?

In this high-stakes high seas mission packed with page-turning intrigue and exhilarating suspense, Final Option proves once again that no one writes adventure like Cussler.
