Summary
Only Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the
Oregon stand between two warring moguls and global
havoc in this thrilling suspense novel in Clive Cussler's
#1
New York Times bestselling series.
Nearly two thousand years ago, an Eastern emperor charged
a small group with safeguarding secrets powerful enough to
change the history of mankind. They went down in legend as
the Nine Unknown Men--and now two rival factions of their
descendants are fighting a mighty battle. Both sides think
they are saving the world, but their tactics could very well
bring about the end of humankind. Soon, Juan Cabrillo and his
team of expert operatives aboard the Oregon find themselves
trapped between two power-hungry adversaries, both of whom
are willing to use shocking means to accomplish their
goals. Cabrillo and the team must divide and conquer as they
fight dual threats, which include a supercomputer at sea and
satellites that can wipe out technology across the
globe--including the high-tech weapons on board the Oregon.
The crew must rely on their unique skills to stop the tyrants
in their tracks and save the earth from a dynasty of
terror. **
Praise for *Shadow Tyrants* "Cussler and action-adventure fans will love this …
the sheer insanity of the story line will keep readers
guessing about what’s going on until the last page of
the book."—Associated Press “Plenty of action.”—
