"Typical "Oregon Files"...a historical prologue followed by fast action...with that makes it hard to stop turning the pages...parts of the story dealing with Somali pirates is torn from today's headlines...eventually Jaun Cabrillo and his band save the world and some of history's artifacts...a predictable and successful formula...a fun read all around!"
— Mark (4 out of 5 stars)
" Another goodie. This one would make a great movie! "
— Maren, 2/11/2014" Too violent, not enough history. "
— Meredith, 2/9/2014" Better than average popcorn thriller from Cussler and company. This was more fun than a few of the other Oregon novels. Plenty of action, and not a complex story. Just enough to keep it all rolling. "
— Jason, 2/4/2014" Light entertaining action packed read with pretty predictable terrorism based plot. As typical of Cussler novels, lots of high tech gizmos and plot twists with a link to some historical event "
— Mike, 1/31/2014" Who can resist Juan Cabrillo and the swarthy men who battle for our freedom, with great technology and dashing good luck. Yes, they overcome all the ills of the world once again. "
— Cindy, 1/25/2014" This was a very enjoyable fast read. "Pulse pounding" from a cynical reader. "
— Jared, 1/24/2014" Nice fun pulp fiction from the Clive Cussler family of storytellers "
— Clint, 1/18/2014" Even though this was an Oregon files book it got back to some old school Clive Cussler. Good guy kicking bad guys butt. Throw in some pirate action and it was a fun read. Not a big fan of the twist on the last pages but oh well. "
— Lori, 1/18/2014" The books have been getting so much better than before. "
— Shaft, 1/3/2014" a bit violent but more exciting than most of Cussler's others "
— Nathan, 12/15/2013" Considering that there are more books in this series, I'm fascinated to see how they top this one. "
— Glenn, 11/24/2013" What can I say about Clive Cussler books - adventure, excitement, treasure, bad guys, good guys. He has it all! "
— Lianne, 11/19/2013" A lot of action, and the expected accessible and direct writing style both Cussler and Dubrul have. It didn't really feel like a thriller, though, thus the three stars. a bit less of the unexpected other than a few specific unique action scenes. "
— Edward, 11/1/2013" Another great Indiana Jones type adventure from Mr. Cussler. Full of archeologists, the desert, booby trapped caves and an ancient treasure play into the modern terrorist activities that emperil the life of the United States Secretary of State. A great quick read with almost non-stop action. "
— Jo-Ann, 10/16/2013" A great action story with improbable heros. A mix of Christianity and Muslim entertwined and a satisfying ending that made me smile. "
— Susan, 8/26/2013" I love Clive Cussler. This book is thought provoking giving the current situtation in Somolia. I have read and reread many of Cussler's books. I cant get enough........ "
— Stacie, 5/26/2013" It never ceases to amaze me how Clive Cussler takes that exact same cookie cutter story but each and every one are fresh and keep you guessing. He weaves historic events, with modern events, and some type of archeological find. "
— Lisa, 4/6/2013" I always look forward to a new Clive Cussler. But, for some reason, this one seemed a little flat to me. I still enjoy the main character of Juan Cabrillo - but the adventures and suspense in this one weren't as intense as usual. "
— Kirsten, 9/26/2012" This book/series (the Oregon Files) reminds me of the fast paced TV thriller series "24". You can hardly catch your breath before something else happens page to page. "
— Sandy, 8/7/2012" Very technical and adventurous-all is well with the world! "
— Sus, 7/25/2012" Love Clive Cussler "
— Mona, 7/22/2012" Oh come on. People really read this stuff? Might make a good action movie with an unlimited budget for blowing stuff up and killing hapless terrorists, but to read? I think I'm one and done with Cussler, unless anyone out there recommends another of his that is at least slightly plausible. "
— Rick, 5/28/2012" The crew of the Oregon help to bring peace to the Middle East. Nothing out of the ordinary here when it comes to a Clive Cussler novel. Not one of his best, not the worst. A quick and enjoyable summer read. "
— Andy, 4/20/2012" A nice lite read. "
— Michael, 2/17/2012" Clive Cussler comes through again. I am trying to read all of his books and i do enjoy them but my favorites are the Dirk Pitt ones. "
— Delilah, 10/18/2011" This is REALLY a bloody and imaginative story! It includes some archeological story lines similar to an Indiana Jones novel! It was interesting how the authors link contemporary events to action that happened during early colonial era! "
— Raymond, 9/26/2011" good. standard cussler but entertaining. "
— Ruth, 9/11/2011" I've never read a Cussler book I haven't liked and this one is no exception. (You do have to suspend disbelief a time or two but still a good read) "
— Nick, 8/29/2011" Clive Cussler knows how to spin a nautical tale. This book entertains and provides interesting insights into history. We learn about the Barbary coast and we explore slavery and terrorism. I enjoy listening to the reader, who has a pleasant voice and reads at an appropriate pace. "
— Alan, 7/30/2011" This book was hysterical. The scenarios were ridiculous, but the action was entertaining as hell. If Michael Bay wrote books, he'd be Clive Cussler. "
— C, 7/18/2011" light reading- plenty of less than believable violence, no sex. Very much like Indiana Jones. "
— Stan, 6/24/2011" The ending was very cheesey to say the least, if I hadn't listened to it on CD I wouldn't have read it. Pass the time away novel about a lost treasure ship and it gets weird from there. "
— Jack, 6/24/2011" I had a hard time getting in to this story for some reason. I liked the concept in general and found some of the correlations intriguing, yet I just couldn't engage in the story as well as I'd hoped. "
— Jason, 6/7/2011" Most of the Oregon files books are long and complicated like an Oceans 11 plot. This one more than most. In the end the book is good but but it doesn't quite live up to the previous books. "
— Mark, 5/8/2011" I've never read a Cussler book I haven't liked and this one is no exception. (You do have to suspend disbelief a time or two but still a good read) "
— Nick, 4/11/2011" Juan and the rest of the crew of the Oregon save the day once again. Set in Tunisia and Libya, Juan and crew save the life of the American Secretary of State, thwart the plans of the second most-wanted terrorist, and discover a long lost pirate's cache. "
— Fred, 4/3/2011" AUDIObook - Well- it was a good swash-buckler until the very end. Then just too sappy and unbelievable (yeah, right - a Beliveable swashbuckler??). "
— Ben, 3/30/2011" The action sequences were really cliché and there wasn't much mystery as to what was going on. It was also pretty obvious from the get go who the villain would turn out to be, which is probably why it was a good thing that the dramatic reveal appears to have been left on the editors table. "
— selenized, 3/23/2011" This is REALLY a bloody and imaginative story! It includes some archeological story lines similar to an Indiana Jones novel! It was interesting how the authors link contemporary events to action that happened during early colonial era! "
— Raymond, 2/21/2011" A big dumb action movie of a book. Emphasis on the dumb. "
— Ranadok, 12/28/2010" Very dificult to follow. Too may things going on at one time. "
— Nance, 12/2/2010" I like the characters, I like that he has women that are strong and capable. I will continue reading this author "
— Ginger, 10/20/2010Clive Cussler (1931–2020) was the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than seventy books in several bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt, NUMA Files, Oregon Files, Isaac Bell, and Sam and Remi Fargo. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, Cussler and his NUMA crew of volunteers discovered and surveyed more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Confederate submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much publicity.
