This is an auction for MIRAGE by Clive Cussler, with Jack Du Brul.

“Whenever any reader thinks about the ultimate action/adventure books, Clive Cussler is the name that appears in their minds. And this new offering in the Oregon Files series is another stunner that can claim to be one of the best action books of 2013 . . . The tale is full of action, death-defying escapes, heart-stopping scenes, and a cast of characters that you will not forget when the book has come to an end.” —Suspense Magazine

“Fans can depend on [the Oregon Files] to deliver action and adventure.” —Booklist (US)

“Rousing . . . The conclusion is the usual Cussler nail-biter.” —Publishers Weekly (US)

Amazon.com reviews:

"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."

"FIVE STARS!!! Clive Cussler gives us another fantastic novel in the Oregon Files. This time the crew of the Oregon are not just saving a friend, they are also saving the world. Just like any Clive Cussler novel this one starts off with a bang and just keeps getting more and more action."
