Description
Golden Buddha is the action-packed first novel in Clive Cussler’s Oregon Files series, co-written with Craig Dirgo — and it’s the debut mission for the legendary Juan Cabrillo and his crew aboard the high-tech, unassuming cargo ship Oregon.
Cabrillo isn’t your typical sea captain. He and his elite team of intelligence experts and naval veterans run a sophisticated operation-for-hire, taking on dangerous, high-stakes missions across the globe. In this opening adventure, their assignment is nothing short of audacious: to help return Tibet to the Dalai Lama.
Their leverage? A priceless golden Buddha containing crucial records of untapped oil reserves in the contested region. But first, Cabrillo’s crew must track it down, steal it, and then outwit a lethal mix of Chinese agents, Russian operatives, and international power brokers — all determined to stop them.
With political intrigue, bold heists, and relentless action on land and sea, Golden Buddha kicks off the Oregon Files with trademark Cussler flair and a new hero who’s just as clever and daring as Dirk Pitt.
