Publisher Description
A deadly war game. An adversary as hard to find as he is to kill. Weapons so sophisticated, none have seen the like before. Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon have finally met their match in this pulse-pounding new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
When African jihadis attack a Nigerian regiment using American weapons, Cabrillo and the Oregon crew are on the case, investigating from Afghanistan to Kuala Lumpur to track a mysterious arms dealer—a genius, or perhaps a devil—known only as the Vendor.
Cabrillo goes undercover to find the Vendor’s base, but his adversary isn’t just an arms smuggler. He’s an arms maker, and Cabrillo just walked into a lethal military game alongside the most dangerous mercenaries in the world, designed to test the Vendor’s cutting-edge AI arsenal.
And yet, surviving an arena full of flame-throwing robots isn’t even his biggest problem. The Vendor has an army of high-speed drones headed for a pivotal military site, and if the Oregon crew can’t stop them from releasing a deadly neurotoxin, the entire globe will erupt in conflict.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Juan Cabrillo and his crew aboard the warship Oregon face off against a brilliant and evil arms dealer in the entertaining latest Oregon Files adventure (after Golden Buddha). The action opens during WWII, when an American airman is captured and imprisoned in a Japanese research center for chemical and biological weapons. In the present, a sadistic gunrunner known only as "the Vendor" has been selling $80 billion in weaponry abandoned after America withdrew from Afghanistan. The U.S. government taps Cabrillo to figure out who's behind the transactions. Eventually, he leads his team—with the addition of beautiful and brainy engineer Callie Cosima, who designs state-of-the-art submersibles—to the Vendor's remote, booby-trapped island in the Bismarck Sea, where they fight flame-breathing robots and other obstacles. Maden effortlessly weaves subplots about the American POW and the Vendor's scheme to unleash biotoxins into the main action, which is vivid, bloody, and occasionally jaw-dropping. This fires on all cylinders.

A very easy and enjoyable novel to read.
Ghost Soldier
A fine piece of writing. Great Pace and attention to detail. Also, TONS OF HEART! Thanks for another winner in the continuing saga of The Oregon Files. The Planet needs more writers like you. A grateful reader,
Rick from Minnesota.
Didn’t feel like the old Oregon and crew
Wasn’t up to other Cabrillo books. The first two thirds drug and were hard to get into. I found myself skipping paragraphs just to move on. The last third was more what I had come to expect from an Oregon adventure. Didn’t love it and felt it was a waste of money.
