Description
BE WITH JUAN CABRILLO AND THE OREGON AS THEY GO UP AGAINST THEIR TWIN NEMESES IN THIS BLISTERING NOVEL FROM ADVENTURE KING, CLIVE CUSSLER
'An all-out nonstop action thriller . . . the best one yet. The story hits the gas pedal and never taps the brakes' Mail Online
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.

Reviews / Votes
An all-out nonstop action thriller. The best one yet. The story hits the gas pedal and never taps the brakes. Having an enemy that is essentially a mirror image of the hero adds extra suspense and mayhem. The characters truly seem in jeopardy, and nothing will ever be the same * Mail Online * Praise for Clive Cussler * - * The Adventure King * Sunday Express * Cussler is hard to beat * Daily Mail * Delivers what it promises * Financial Times *More details
