For five novels, Clive Cussler has immersed readers in the world of the "Oregon," a seemingly worn ship equipped with advanced technology, captained by the charismatic Juan Cabrillo. Now, the crew faces their greatest challenge yet. Corsairs, or pirates, come in various forms—from those who battled on the Barbary Coast to modern-day marauders in Africa and Asia. When the U.S. secretary of state's plane crashes en route to a summit in Libya, the CIA enlists Cabrillo to find her, fueled by distrust of the Libyans. Their concerns prove justified when the crew discovers the plane but not the secretary. Libya's new foreign minister has his own agenda for the conference, which Cabrillo must thwart. The situation ties back to a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and ancient Islamic scrolls that the Libyans are desperately seeking. The unfolding events will draw Cabrillo into a historical confrontation at sea against Islamic terrorists, with the fate of nations hanging in the balance. Readers will be captivated by the thrilling action and daring exploits of Cabrillo and his crew, as highlighted by "Publishers Weekly" regarding the "Oregon" Files series.

Now, however, giant commercial freighters are disappearing.

Deze bundel bevat: 'De Avonturen van de Familie Raton', 'Meneer Ré-dièze en Juffrouw Mi-bémol', 'Het Noodlot van Jean Morénas', 'De Humbug', 'Op Bezoek in de Toekomst' en 'De Eeuwige Adam'. In deze bundel korte verhalen van uiteenlopende aard zijn zes merkwaardige geschiedenissen bijeen gebracht. De belevenissen van de familie Raton hebben veel weg van een sprookje, maar toch zijn ook daar de wetenschappelijke ideeën van Verne's tijdgenoten over de evolutie van het leven in verwerkt. De snelle ontwikkeling in Amerika trok allerhande gelukzoekers en bedriegers aan die meesterlijk getekend worden door Verne in het ironische verhaal De humbug. Maar de werkdag van een journalist in de verre toekomst is in veel opzichten al werkelijkheid geworden. Beeldtelefoon en luchttaxi's zijn immers voor ons niet vreemd. Bovendien is het allerlaatste verhaal van Verne in deze bundel opgenomen. Op hoge leeftijd schreef hij een nauwkeurig verslag van de ondergang van een ver ontwikkelde beschaving en hoe de mensheid weer terugzonk in het moeras van onwetendheid.
