Publisher Description
Chairman Juan Cabrillo and the rest of the Corporation's mercenaries fight to stop a corrupt activist group from unleashing a viral attack in this #1 New York Times-bestselling adventure from the Oregon Files. Captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew of former military and spy personnel, the Oregon is a private enterprise, available for any government agency that can afford it. They've just completed a top secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf when they come across a cruise ship adrift at sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and, as Cabrillo tries to determine what happened, explosions rack the length of the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner’s sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himself plunged into a mystery as intricate – and as perilous – as any he has ever known and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for the human race . . . plans he may already be too late to stop

"If this book doesn't become a movie, I'll be surprised. It has all the good spy elements-disguised undercover ship with super cool "inside" high tech features (including a chopper), tough and gritty spies with brains to boot, and last but not least, a crazy cult (that goes a little too far, as most do, with their beliefs). Oh, and there's also great gadgets, undercover missions with speed chases, and a bit of the gruesome and crazy stuff that makes you think "that's over the top!" I also like how he leads in with something that doesn't seem to fit. Actually, for the majority of the book I didn't like that, until he explained it at the end. NO, don't read the end! Wait for it. It's worth the wait. The book ties everything up nicely and you breathe a sigh of relief. Job well done spy team!"

Plague Ship Listener Reviews

" This is a typical Clive Cussler novel. I am starting to decide how much I like his books not by the heros (since they are are pretty much the same), but by how the villian is finally killed. This one is one of the better kills in my opinion. This is why I gave this book 3 stars instead of the typical 2 stars for a Cussler book. You can't beat a 18,000 pound tungsten rod being dropped by a satellite onto an island for a better kill. This is supposed to simulate a nuclear blast, but without the fallout. Then the secondary villian is killed by a sniper shot to the heart just as he thinks he is going to get free. Not to shabby either. "

" A bit scary, but thought provoking tale, based on Earth over-population theory. "
— Ruslan, 2/17/2014 -
" Keeps me reading instead of sleeping. "
— Peter, 2/17/2014 -
" This was a very good book and like almost all of his I loved it. I much prefer the books with Dirk Pitt and his children and side kicks and also the Kurt Austin series. I like the others quite well but am not to wild about the old west series. "
— Rick, 2/12/2014 -
" One of Clive Cussler's better written books. Sadly a scenario that could someday be true in today's world of terrorists. "
— Dad, 2/2/2014 -
" Just makes me want to cruise even more. "
— Rob, 1/28/2014 -
" Exciting story with lots of twists and locations. "
— Gary, 1/24/2014 -
" So far, this is my favorite of the Oregon Files series. There's plenty of excitement and tension with both male and female heroes finding ways to save themselves and the world using their ingenuity, skills and incredible technical tools. It would make a great serial story because there are so many cliffhangars. "
— Monty, 1/20/2014 -
" Improbable ? Yeah. A good read ? Yeah. Love the characters ? Yeah. If you're looking for a good ride, this is it. And Juan Cabrillo, just like Dirk Pitt and Kurt Austin comes alive. "

" Easy summer read. Though it's #5 in the author's "Oregon FIles" series, I don't feel like I missed much starting with this one. Complete suspension of disbelief from the get-go, but a lot of fun. "
— Stacey, 11/9/2013 -

— Batsap, 8/4/2012 -
" Lot's of good action. I have never been disappointed by a Clive Cussler novel yet. Glad the Responsivists are not a real group. "
— Jason, 7/10/2012 -
" This is one of the most exciting Clive Cussler books I have read...Juan and the Corporation are one band of exciting and death-defying characters. "
— Debbie, 6/15/2012 -

" Listen to this on audio books and found it a little long winded, but a good thriller as you drive around. "
— Kristin, 5/30/2011 -
" Classic Cussler. Good for a plane ride - engaging. Some great dialog/banter which kept me smiling (in the midst of threatened world take-over, financial collapse, and looming death). "
— Barbie, 5/16/2011 -
" As usual with Cussler - a great read with a twisting plot. "
— Brian, 4/22/2011 -

" Another one by Cussler - an interesting read "
— Charles, 3/18/2011 -
" Another quick read of the improbable feats of the crew of the Oregon. Interestingly, this book was selected after I completed "1421". You will see the connection. "
— James, 3/16/2011 -
" Argentina is trying to take over Antartica. China is helping. The US is backing down. The company of Juan Cabrillo to the rescue. <br/>And the idea that China explored the seas and found Antartica 300 years before Europeans. <br/>Oh and Juan almost dies. "
