The Jungle by Clive Cussler with Jack Du Brul

The Jungle is the eighth book in the Oregon Files series. Jungles come in many forms. There are the steamy rain forests of the Burmese highlands. There are the lies and betrayals of the world of covert operations. And there are the dark and twisted thoughts of a man bent on near-global domination. To pull off their latest mission, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon must survive them all.

After losing their contract with the US Government because of a daring raid that went too far, Cabrillo and his crew of mercenaries are earning money by doing dirty, dangerous jobs in the world's trouble spots and they have just accepted a mission to find a missing adventurer in the jungles of Myanmar.

It isn't long before Cabrillo and his team realise that they have been set up. Betrayed, tortured and played for a fool, Cabrillo is angry that he and his team have been used as a pawn in someone's deadly scheme. But with the US nuclear launch codes up for grabs and a madman bent on using them to hold ransom, Cabrillo must save the world before he gets his revenge.

Once again, the Oregon Files offers an exciting, riveting adventure novel for those who love suspense, intrigue and more twists than a mountain road.
