"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!"

    " 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
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " 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 "

    " 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. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

    — Lianne, 11/19/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " 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
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

    " 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........ "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " 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
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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! "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
