In this electrifying installment of the Juan Cabrillo series, the stakes are higher than ever as he and his crew aboard the Oregon race against time to prevent a catastrophic nuclear attack. After a failed mission to capture the leader of Mexico's most dangerous drug cartel, Cabrillo is driven by a thirst for revenge.

From drug-smuggling routes to international conspiracies, the Oregon's crew navigates a complex web of dangers, racing against the clock to locate and neutralize the deadly weapon.
