Piranha

434 pages · First published 2015

During a covert mission, Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon crew carefully fake the destruction of their own ship, only to discover that an unknown enemy can still track them with impossible accuracy. The mystery reaches back to the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée and a German scientist whose work disappeared in the disaster. A modern weapons designer has completed that research and gained a capability that seems to let him anticipate the Corporation’s every move. Cabrillo must uncover how the technology works and stop an attack before his adversary can use it to seize unprecedented power. A brisk vacation read for anyone craving covert operations, lost scientific secrets, and a crew forced to outthink an enemy who seems one step ahead.
