From BooklistCussler's back, this time with coauthor Dubrul. For those readers who are still counting, it's Cussler's twenty-eighth book. This one involves the clandestine spy ship Oregon, whose crew--led by one Juan Cabrillo--work for what Cussler describes as "high-powered Western interests." Cabrillo's newest employers are a consortium of Japanese shipping tycoons who are being threatened by pirates. The plot includes commercial freighters that are disappearing, missiles that North Korea is selling to Syria, bad guys planting a bomb on a ship that the U.S. wants to destroy, the sinking of a research vessel, covert operations from any number of nations, and the threat of diseases such as typhoid and cholera that could run rampant--and that's just the first 100 pages. These are a few trite lines ("We can't see diddly," for example) and an ending that doesn't come as a surprise, but Cussler's countless fans won't care.

Wonderful Clive Cussler book with Scott Brick readingBy Mary DoughertyIf there is anyone out there that has not read or listened to any of Clive Cussler's books, they are out of touch with the magic that he brings to life in his writing. The very best reader, Scott Brick, is the most amazing person to listen to no matter what book he is reading for. You believe he is or has been in the situation and makes you feel like it's a first hand conversation. I'm a huge fan of The Oregon Papers and anything with Dirk Pitt and the Numa files so far and they never disappoint me. The Oregon (old, rusty freighter) has so many special effects that keep them out of danger on the high seas however, it's working crew manage to get into enough trouble as soon as you get going in the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
