In Plague Ship, did you enjoy a gadget-savvy covert team pulling off synchronized ops across the globe?
If the tight-knit Corporation aboard the Oregon—Juan Cabrillo calling shots while Max Hanley, Linda Ross, and Murph execute precision roles—was your catnip in Plague Ship, you’ll love the way Sandstorm deploys its own multi-specialist crew. Painter Crowe’s team blends science, tradecraft, and audacious fieldwork in coordinated missions that echo the Oregon’s choreographed boardings and tech-assisted break-ins, delivering that same ensemble chemistry and banter under fire.
In Plague Ship, did you enjoy a high-stakes, covert maritime mission to track and capture a rogue vessel?
If you were hooked by Cabrillo’s single-minded pursuit—from investigating a plague-stricken cruise ship to hunting the eco-cult’s floating assets—The Hunt for Red October scratches the same itch. Jack Ryan and the Navy lock into a clear, relentless objective at sea, with tactical chess moves and sensor-duel tension that recall the Oregon’s stealth tactics and decisive, mission-first mindset.
In Plague Ship, did you enjoy relentless, cliffhanger-driven action set pieces that never let up?

It hurls an elite team through back-to-back firefights, audacious escapes, and gadget-laced improvisation, matching the Oregon’s kinetic pace and cinematic, every-chapter-a-sting momentum.
In Plague Ship, did you enjoy a bioterror conspiracy that escalates into government-level maneuvering and cover-ups?
If the Responsivists’ plan in Plague Ship—weaponizing a sterilizing pathogen and manipulating NGOs and shell companies—grabbed you, The Cobra Event dives into a chilling bioengineered threat and the political scramble that follows. You’ll get the same mix of scientific menace, policy infighting, and behind-the-scenes power plays that mirror Cabrillo’s race to expose and outflank a globe-spanning conspiracy.
In Plague Ship, did you enjoy a high-risk infiltration caper executed by a small, specialized team using disguises and tech?
If you loved how Cabrillo’s crew stages elaborate ruses—disguised approaches, covert insertions, and precision takedowns—Jackdaws delivers that same caper energy. A handpicked team runs a daring infiltration under German noses, relying on meticulous planning, misdirection, and gadgetry, echoing the Oregon’s signature blend of brains, bluff, and bold action.
