From Publishers WeeklyA high level of tolerance for implausibility is required to enjoy bestseller Cussler's high-octane 11th Oregon Files adventure (after 2015's Piranha), the second in the series to be coauthored by Morrison. Juan Cabrillo runs the Corporation, an off-the-books U.S. government intelligence operation, based on the Oregon, a super-ship fitted with "revolutionary new magnetohydrodynamic engines" and an array of powerful weapons. The Oregon also features the amenities of a luxury liner, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, chefs "trained at the Cordon Bleu," and a Navy-trained chief medical officer whose "lab coat remained spotless as it draped over her voluptuous curves." The Corporation is facing an unprecedented challenge after someone who hacked into a Monaco bank's systems threatens to plunge the European economy into chaos. The scheme is somehow connected with the search for "Napoleon's lost Russian treasure using a diary the emperor left behind after he was supposedly kidnapped from exile without anyone realizing it"; even the characters acknowledge that the premise is bizarre. The authors keep things moving at a fast pace, but there's nothing in this outing that genre fans haven't seen before. Agent: Peter Lampack, Peter Lampack Agency. (May)\n Praise for The Emperor's RevengeThe Oregon Files series is in great hands with Boyd Morrison working with Clive Cussler. The Emperors Revenge is a solid and fun entry that showcases what fans love when they pick up one of Cusslers novels: a wonderful blend of action-adventure and history.Associated PressAnother rollicking Juan Cabrillo adventure. Nefarious deeds and derring-do from the Monaco Grand Prix to Malta, Germany, Lithuania, Holland, and the Baltic. The exotic weapons-driven, more-threads-than-a-sweater narrative explodes with action, dead bodies hither and you, with Cabrillo makingskin-of-the teeth escapes. Kirkus s Praise for Piranha: Piranha is a perfect beach read . . . the best entry in the series to date. Associated Press The action is supercharged. Kirkus s Cussler scores a direct hit. Series fans will have a lot of fun.

It is lovely to get back and see what the "family" on the Oregon are up to. Again they find unexpected challenges which they rise above and eventually solve in their inimitable way. If you like putting on comfy slippers, this is what reading Clive's books are like. You go back and meet "old friends" and catch up with all their new adventures. I always anxiously await the next instalment of any of the series that Clive writes. I can't say I really have a favourite when you have choices like Dirk Pitt and Al, Kurt Austin and Joe, Isaac Bell, Remi and Sam Fargo and all the wonderful characters on the Oregon it would be like trying to say which child you like best. So sit back and enjoy the ride with this amazing group of characters on the Oregon and then like me wait till the next lot of adventures from any of the "children" come out. Thanks to Clive I have such fun reading these days.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Some people may like it, but itg is just not Cussler's style ...By DonbWhile this was an interesting story, it does not even begin to measure up to any previous Clive Cussler "Oregon Files" series. I have read them all and this is the one I almost closed the book before finishing. I suspect it is because the co-author is new and different from any previous co-authors of this series. If I would see the same co-author on another book I would likely not buy it. I have not found this style of writing in any of the other 4 main series of Cussler books. Some people may like it, but itg is just not Cussler's style of writing, and I use his books as a benchmark when I review any other books except military action books, then I use Dale Brown as my benchmark. If you are a Cussler fan, I suggest you go to the library, check it out and read 2 or 3 chapters before spending money for it. If you like the sample read, buy it then.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. HIGH STAKES AND FACED PACED A MUST READ!By DEBRA D. JEAKINSTHE EMPEROR'S REVENGE CLIVE CUSSLER AND BOYD MORRISON A NOVEL OF THE OREGON FILES. I've said it before and I'll say it again I LOVE Cussler novels and this one is no different. From page one you get a slice of history and an action packed deadly game of cat and mouse between the Juan Cabrillo and the Corporation and two modern day pirates who are not stealing booty but bucks, as in dollars, the Corporations dollars and Juan and his crew is NOT happy. In the latest adventure Juan join forces with the feds to find the bad guys and along the way one of the team will not make it home,and that's the only spoiler i'm giving out! Fast paced high adventure, Cussler has never disappointed and with THE EMPERORS REVENGE is no exception. A must read of a thrill ride.
