Clive Cussler Quantum Tempest is the nineteenth installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling Oregon Files series, written by Mike Maden and published by Penguin Random House. The book follows Chairman Juan Cabrillo and the elite crew of the Oregon as they face their most dangerous mission yet.

A government crackdown on Central American drug cartels leaves most kingpins locked up in an impregnable prison. In response, Amador Fierro — a brilliant, tech-savvy crime boss — forges seven of the largest cartels into a powerful alliance called La Liga. To defeat the U.S.-led offensive, Fierro launches Project Q: the development of an Artificial General Intelligence computer that, when completed, would grant him unprecedented control over America.

Cabrillo and the Oregon crew are the only ones who can stop him, but they face compounding threats. Two team members are unreachable deep in the Darien Gap tracking an Iranian Quds Force base, while a mole has infiltrated the Oregon itself. With multiple dark forces racing to seize the power of Project Q, Cabrillo must outmaneuver enemies from every direction in a pulse-pounding thriller that readers of Clive Cussler's adventure series won't want to put down.
