Golden Buddha

When Cabrillo and his ship are hired by the US government to find an ancient statue known as the Golden Buddha, stolen from the Dalai Lama in 1959, the stakes couldn't be higher. Success of failure will determine the future of Tibet.

Packed with blazing action and daring exploits, Golden Buddha is a nerve-shredding thriller from the best in the business.

The classic installment in the bestselling series, The Oregon Files, from the grandmaster of adventure fiction.

The creator of the bestselling NUMA and Dirk Pitt series is back with his latest and most intriguing high seas action hero—the enigmatic captain of the Oregon, Juan Cabrillo.

Only Cabrillo could convert the interior of a nondescript lumber hauler into a state-of-the-art spy ship—and only he could take the helm on the dangerous covert missions it carries out for whatever U.S. agency pays the price.

In his first feature-length adventure, it's up to Cabrillo and his crew of expert intelligence and naval men to put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by striking a deal with the Russians and the Chinese. His gambling chip is a golden Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land.

But first, he'll have to locate—and steal—the all-important artifact. And there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail...
