Typhoon fury

Description

As they hunt for a bunch of paintings worth a walloping half a billion dollars, Juan Cabrillo and the crew aboard the Oregon chance upon a much bigger problem. A Filipino rebel leader is not only using them to finance the insurgency but has discovered a drug developed yet never used by the Japanese during World War II that makes mega warriors of ordinary soldiers. Not so far-fetched given the revelations of Norman Ohler's recent Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich.

Description

When the leader of a militant communist insurgency in the Philippines escapes capture from the U.S. government with almost supernatural ease, it's up to Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon to catch him. Tracing the Filipino insurgent through his drug lord allies, Cabrillo learns his new adversary has his eye on an addictive chemical compound developed during World War II that can turn civilians into supersoldiers. And he's not the only one. An unpredictable gun for hire is zeroing in on the same target. Trapped in a battle between two madmen hungry for power, Chairman Cabrillo must rely on his crew, still shaken by the loss of a dear friend, and some unexpected allies for help. But Cabrillo may be sending his friends into much more troubled waters than he realizes. The megastorm of the century is brewing off the Pacific coast. Once the downpour beings, there'll be no turning back for anyone
