Pre-Owned Mirage (The Oregon Files) (Hardcover) 0399158081 9780399158087

Chairman of the Oregon, Juan Cabrillo, is on a rescue mission when a high-profile Russian prisoner warns of a weapon designed by one of America's greatest inventors in this #1 New York Times–bestselling series by the grand master of adventure.

In October 1943, a U.S. destroyer sailed out of Philadelphia and supposedly vanished, the result of a Navy experiment with electromagnetic radiation. The story was considered a hoax—but now Juan Cabrillo and his Oregon colleagues aren’t so sure.

There is talk of a new weapon soon to be auctioned, something very dangerous to America’s interests, and the rumors link it to the great inventor Nikola Tesla, who was working with the Navy when he died in 1943. Was he responsible for the experiment? Are his notes in the hands of enemies? As Cabrillo races to find the truth, he discovers there is even more at stake than he could have imagined—but by the time he realizes it, he may already be too late.
