This new book by Clive Cussler with Jack Du Brul could not be more timely as it is about Muslim pirates and/or terrorists. It starts Barbary wars with the US against these pirates and then jumps off to the coast of Somalia and pirate attacks on Juan Cabrillo's Oregon. Then it moves to Libya.

Cannot stay that many books by Clive Cussler are all that realistic but some parts of his current one Corsair are quite relevant.

I am only about half way through this book and keep skipping some TV shows to get back to it.
