Skeleton Coast -- Clive Cussler

<b>Chairman of the Corporation Juan Cabrillo and his mercenary crew steer the<i>Oregon </i>into battle against a militant leader and his cult-like followers in this #1 <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling series.</b> <p/>Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert combat ship <i>Oregon</i> have barely escaped a mission on the Congo River when they intercept a mayday from a defenseless boat under fire off the African coast. Still smarting from a weapons-trade gone bad and a double-cross, Cabrillo takes action. He manages to save the beautiful Sloane Macintyre, who's on a mission of her own, looking for a long-submerged ship that may hold a fortune in diamonds. But what surprises Cabrillo is her story about a crazy fisherman who claims to have been attacked on the open sea by giant metal snakes in the same area. <p/>What begins as a snake hunt leads Cabrillo onto the trail of a far more lethal quarry--a deranged militant and his followers who plan to unleash the devastating power of nature itself against all who oppose them.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Clive Cussler, Jack Du Brul<br><b>Publisher:</b> Penguin Adult Hc/Tr<br><b>Published:</b> 10/03/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.91lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.13h x 5.99w x 1.02d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780425211892<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 7.4<br><b>Point Value:</b> 24<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>142286 / Skeleton
