Corsair (The Oregon Files)

Hired by the CIA to track down the U.S. secretary of state in the aftermath of a suspicious plane crash in Libya, rakish captain Juan Cabrillo uncovers a sinister plot by Libya's new foreign minister; a scheme with links to a 200-year-old naval battle and centuries-old Islamic scrolls.

Jack Du Brul is a graduate of the Westminster School and George Washington University. Trying to add as much adventure to his life as he does to his novels, Du Brul has climbed Masada at noon, swam in the Arctic Ocean off Point Barrow, explored war-torn Eritrea, camped in Greenland, and was gnawed on by piranhas in the Amazon River. He collects zeppelin memorabilia and when not writing or traveling (25 countries and counting), he can be found in a favorite chair with a book and a brandy. Jack Du Brul lives in Burlington, Vermont.
