A New York Times Bestseller -- When the U.S. secretary of state?s plane crashes while bringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrusting the Libyans, hires Juan Cabrillo to search for her. Their misgivings are well founded. The crew locates the plane, but the secretary has vanished. It turns out Libya?s new foreign minister has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillo cannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two-hundred-year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamic scrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? The answers will lead him full circle into history, and into another pitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic terrorists -- with the fate of nations resting on its outcome.
