Feb 09, William rated it it was ok Shelves: oregon-filestrade-paper. If you take Golden Buddha: Orego look at the cover of this book, Clive Cussler's name is clearly the focus of the page, but the words inside are, for the most Golden Buddha: Orego, certainly not his words. I know Golden Buddha: Orego recent trend of some authors is to allow their names to be used as a launch pad for young and upcoming writers a la Craig Dirgo but the Golden Buddha is a great example of why this practice is destined to fail. When I pick up a Cussler novel, I want a Cussler plot: action-packed, detailed, and over the top. And whi If you take a look at the cover of this book, Clive Cussler's name Golden Buddha: Orego clearly the focus of the page, but the words inside are, for the most part, Golden Buddha: Orego not his words. And while this wasn't the worst book I have ever read, I don't want this. Golden Buddha was confusing because of the quick changes in the Golden Buddha: Orego in each chapter and the vast array of characters for whom I didn't really care about. Especially Chairman Cabrillo or his crew. In an attempt to come off as modern day Robin Hoods, Cabrillo instead comes off as an uncaring mercenary with few if any ethics. Unlike Dirk Pitt who loathes killing his adversaries the mark of a true hero Cabrillo et al pick off their opponents haphazardly and without remorse. He drugs unsuspecting and innocent guests at a party, and supports the violent retaking of Tibet in the name of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama of all people. If you want to read a good Cussler novel, don't pick up this volume of the Oregon Files. Mar 16, Kandice rated it it was ok. My favorite part of the book is the fact that this super equipped, awesome-sauce ship is disguised to look like a pile of crap. I can honestly say I gave him a shot. Dec 14, Fred Hughes rated it really liked it. A group of well financed mercenaries, a boat that looks like a wreck but contains high tech defensive and offensive systems and can travel 70 knots a Golden Buddha that weighs pounds of solid gold, a crooked art dealer, two egotistical billionaires and a standoff between the Russians and the Chinese. Stir it all up and you have a romping adventure. Golden Buddha: Orego the first book of the seri A group of well financed mercenaries, a boat that looks like a wreck but contains high tech defensive and offensive systems and can travel 70 knots a Golden Buddha that weighs pounds of solid gold, a crooked art dealer, two egotistical billionaires and a standoff between the Russians and the Chinese. In the first book of the series we start off Golden Buddha: Orego a minor assignment for the Chairman of the Corporation Juan Cabrillo in Cuba Golden Buddha: Orego rescue some political prisoners in an air tight escape proof jail. However to the employees of the Corporation this just meant a little more planning. With their usual bravado they breached the jail and released the prisoners who were in poor physical condition. Having the actually carry 5 prisoners on their backs because of the weakened condition they were in the crew were able to get all the Golden Buddha: Orego back to the Oregon and swiftly taken to Puerto Rico to be eventually transferred to Florida. This adventure series is as much about the Oregon as it Golden Buddha: Orego about its crew. The Oregon is described as feet long, with a 75 foot beam. It has internal water tanks so it can intake water and sink low so that it looks like it has a load of something on board, or pump the water tanks out and site high. This is particularly important when going for top speed which is noted as 70 knots approx 80mph. The main adventure in the book is return to Golden Buddha to the Dalai Lama the religious leader of Tibet. The crooked art dealer comes into play as while transporting the Golden Buddha to one billionaire he swaps in a fake and sells the original to another billionaire. It is up to the Corporation to return the real Golden Buddha to the Dalai Lama who is returning to Tibet after 20 years in exile. For readers who are into politics the story line gives many insights into the political Golden Buddha: Orego that occurs when Golden Buddha: Orego leaders are guessing what is going on and not really aware of what is going on. This is highly entertaining as we know, sort of, what is really going on and can laugh at all the postering going on. This was my first Clive Cussler book and I chose it because I needed an audio book both my hubby and I could listen to and enjoy. Normally we choose a Tom Clancy book, but all the ones available from the library were to long. We enjoyed this story and loved the twists and turns of the plot. The men and women of the "Corporation" were nothing short of brilliant in their execution of the plan to reinstall the Dali Lama at the rightful ruler of Tibet, and make a few million Golden Buddha: Orego the side.
