      Per Juan Cabrillo e l’equipaggio della Oregon doveva essere una missione di routine: recuperare una collezione di dipinti per un valore di mezzo miliardo di dollari. Ma quando scopre che il leader di una fazione di ribelli filippini, Salvador Locsin, intende sfruttare i quadri per finanziare le sue attività illegali, Cabrillo e la sua squadra si ritrovano al centro di un intrigo internazionale. Locsin per giunta è entrato in possesso del progetto di uno dei segreti più letali della Seconda guerra mondiale: una droga sperimentata dai giapponesi, che trasforma un guerrigliero in una sorta di macchina immortale. Per fermare Locsin e scongiurare il rischio di un conflitto inarrestabile che sovvertirebbe gli equilibri mondiali, la Oregon non deve solo sconfiggere il comandante ribelle, ma anche un mercenario sudafricano deciso a impossessarsi della droga. Una missione condotta tra segreti del passato e nuovi scenari geopolitici che solo l’equipaggio della Oregon può affrontare.
