Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon crew's search for missing NASA technology leads to a globe-trotting adventure in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. On December 7, 1941, five brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbor. In the present, Cabrillo stumbles upon a shocking revelation of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him first to that small island and its secret, and then much further back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo’s team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not...the only reward is death.

" This was not as good as most clive cussler books. Bit disappointing... "
— Susan, 2/19/2014" This rousing story by Cussler and Du Brul was my first Oregon File adventure. I didn't know what I had been missing. Written in Cussler's fast-paced, multi-threaded style, The Silent Sea kept me turning pages until I reached the end. A good read! "
— Bill, 2/6/2014" This is a good book. Just like all the other Clive Cussler books that I have read. "
— Charlie, 1/25/2014" Not as good as some of his books "
— Jerald, 1/24/2014" The Silent Sea is packed with action, lots of turns and changes. Lots of intrigue and mystery. Ending is a bit weak though, hoping to find out about how it all happened in the next book. "
— Don, 1/21/2014" This book was exactly what I expected--adventure and not too many surprise twists. However, it was done well so I'm giving it 3 stars because I liked the ending and it is a good addition to the Oregon Files series. "
— Diane, 1/12/2014" Another great Oregon Files book. This was a great one from beginning to end. When Cussler and De Brul team up, great novels happen. Waiting for the next in the series. "
— Chris, 1/12/2014" I always enjoy Clive Cussler's books and this was no exception. Kind of a "hairy" ending on this one. Can't wait for the follow-on book. "
— Larry, 1/9/2014" I liked it very much. "

— Dave, 12/6/2013" A nice, light, vacation read. Always a little unrealistic, but full of action and humour, this is a great way to spend some time while on vacation. "
— Marc, 11/2/2013" As with all Cusslers, you know what your getting and its always good. I tore through this in a single day. "
— Robert, 8/11/2013" Average read,trying to link a Chinese Admiral with the arctic and a island of the coast of America ,and a reason as to why they had to bury a plague at the bottom of a pit that is perpetually submerged just makes no sense .My advice is to avoid this novel. "
— Sam, 6/4/2013" Love the Oregon series; this one twists and turns unexpectedly. "
— Mandra, 5/6/2013" I felt as if I was missing something. Does anyone know if there is a prequel to this book? I liked the adventure! I was really cold when I finished reading it, but not all of it had to do with the 5 degrees above zero here in Michigan! "
— Michelle, 1/29/2013" Typcial Clive Cussler book. Good story, keep me interestd and wanting to read more. "
— Abby, 12/26/2012" Wow! Clive Cussler really has a winner in this book. This is one of the first ones I read. Full of adventure, a story the goes from the jungles of the Amazon to the cold Antarctica and the discovery of some things that have major political implications. Have fun with this one. "
— Frank, 11/25/2012" Pretty good; I was expecting that the lead-in story retrieving a downed satellite was a throw-away intro, but it blended right into the main story. Nice twist at the end, but I would have liked to see more on how Juan REALLY got out of that tight scrape! "
— Mike, 7/24/2012" This book is written in a way that makes me feel like the author did a lot of research but never left his study. Awful stuff. Only reading it because I'm rationing the books I've brought on vacation + this was in the hotel room. "
