Corsair Clive Cussler , Jack Du Brul Corsair Clive Cussler , Jack Du Brul For five novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. And now the Oregon and its crew face their biggest challenge yet. Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many different varieties. There are the pirates who fought off the Barbary Coast in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporary pirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, and the pirates . who look like something else. When the U.S. secretary of state’s plane crashes while bringing her to a summit meeting in Libya, the CIA, distrusting the Libyans, hire Juan Cabrillo to search for her, and their misgivings are well founded. The crew locates the plane, but the secretary of state has vanished. It turns out Libya’s new foreign minister has other plans for the conference, plans that Cabrillo cannot let happen. But what does it all have to do with a two- hundred- year-old naval battle and the centuries-old Islamic scrolls that the Libyans seem so determined to find? The answers will lead him full circle into history, and into another pitched battle on the sea, this time against Islamic terrorists, and with the fate of nations resting on its outcome. “Readers will burn up the pages following the blazing action and daring exploits of these men and women and their amazing machines,” writes Publishers Weekly of the Oregon Files series. And they’ll do it once again, with Corsair.

From Reader Review Corsair for online ebook Tom Kristan Jr. says Review of Clive Cussler's CORSAIR Typical Cussler novel; The incredible ship, Oregon, must save the TRIPOLI ACCORDS. A peace treaty between the U.S. , Europe and the Muslims. The OREGON saves the U.S. Secretary of state, Fiona Katamora, the driving force behind the peace process. As expected, much action, adventure by the members of the OREGON. First they battle radical Muslim's against the peace process, save many prisoners and of course protect and save that Secretary of state. The final conclusion of saving the Secretary of state is only performed by the hero, Juan Cabrillo, because his team is prevented from aiding him by a firefight. I did not like the fact that is only 1 person who actually saves the Secretary of state, when the odds are a full complement of sailors on a ship against 1 man. As always, Cussler stretches the truth, but does it in a way which allows the possibility that such monumental event could occur in the present time. A very good Cussler novel, worth reading, if a fan of the Cussler genre. Linda says This might be my favorite Oregon series adventure so far! A lot of the technical stuff is wasted on me but this was quite the page turner where there were times I didn't want to put the book down because I was wrapped up in the story. Jeane says Books which Clive Cussler write are for me those comfort books. I know everything will end well and I know that I will enjoy them. A extra in his books which I always enjoy is the different periods in the story. Pirates, the 'American' Lafayette...they're all part of the past and make up our history. But in our present time pirates continue to capture ships, freighters... just as in Somalia. What they hadn't expected of a battered looking freighter is to meet a crew belonging to a state-of- the-art fighting ship. At the same time an extremely important piece meeting is scheduled in Lybia. The person that will have the most change to make a chane during that meeting is the US secrety of State .... who was in the crashed plane on her way to te summit. Ancient jewels, terrorists, murder, torute, training camps and fighting make another great Cussler story complete. Eadie says Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many different varieties. There are the pirates who fought off the PDF File: Corsair... 3 Read and Download Ebook Corsair... Barbary Coast in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporary pirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, and the pirates...who look like something else. I liked learning about the history of the pirates in the 18th and 19th century and about Lafayette and the early explorers, Captain William Baimbrige, Captain Stephen Decatur and Admiral Charles Stewart. I thought all the characters were pretty interesting and I liked the role Linda Ross had in fighting Assad's men. The action and adventure scenes were very entertaining but the technical information was a bit much for me. I wish there were more dialogue between the characters during the adventure scenes as I believe that would make it much more enjoyable. I found the plot a little weaker from the past books but I still found the book a fascinating read. I would highly recommend Clive Cussler's book to those who like adventure reads. Beth says Excellent as always! Edwin Kort says Heb dit boek als gesproken boek 'gelezen', en misschien dat daardoor wat van de spanning verdween, maar dit boek is voor mij een van de mindere uit de Dossier Oregon series. Het boek begint veelbelovend, met een zeeslag tussen Barbarijse zeerovers en twee Amerikaanse oorlogsschepen op jacht om de zeeën van dit ongedierte te ontdoen. Het is de achtergrond van een mysterie dat zijn weerslag heeft op de huidige strijd tegen de terroristen. De Oregon doet zich voor als een prijs voor de hedendaagse piraten, terroristen die gebruik maken van de opbrengst van deze schepen om hun activiteiten te financieren. Er gaat veel verkeerd en eindigt met een zeeslag tussen de Oregon en een marineschip. Helaas zakt hierna het verhaal drastisch in, en lijkt het meer op een krachtmeting tussen de Amerikaanse goede en de overige (slechte) mensen. Brenda H says Corsair is the sixth book in the Oregon Files series by Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul. The Oregon Files follows the adventures of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship packed with sophisticated equipment and a wide array of weaponry, which is crewed by the best and brightest – all overseen by Juan Cabrillo, an ex- CIA officer with a flair for the dramatic. The US Secretary of State’s plane has crashed on the way to a peace summit in Libya. It is initially assumed that she has died in the crash but there are indications that she may still be alive. The CIA hires Juan Cabrillo and his crew for an “off book” mission to locate and retrieve the Secretary. This was not the strongest book in the series but it was an enjoyable read and delivered the usual mix of adventure, scheming and derring-do. I will definitely be continuing with the series, following the Oregon on its many adventures.

If you haven’t met the Oregon and her crew before, the Oregon is and old rusted, dirty, dilapidated freighter that plies the oceans of the world. But that is just the public view, it is actually a totally modern ship filled with sophisticated technical equipment and arms and manned by a crew of ex military, technicians, business people and support staff. Its run as a private company the hires out to individuals and governments ( often the US government) to perform tasks that need to be done “off the books” as it were. What they don’t do is work for the “bad guys” but they get into just about anything else. Different cast and operational area, but typical of a Cussler book, fast read, lots of action, good escape reading. ISBN - 978-1-59722-902-9, Suspense, Pages - 448, Print Size - L, Rating - 4.5 Aldo Ferrante says This novel was a disappointment. I had been impressed with "Skeleton Coast" (a previous one that Cussler also wrote with his friend Du Brul), and this new iteration looked promising enough. But the dialogue in Corsair is very poor and the action scenes - Cussler's trademark - are too far and few between. Whereas "Skeleton Coast" held the promise of some kind of hookup between Cabrillo, the hero, and Sloane Macintyre - a heroin in her own right - Corsair feels a bit empty. If you're looking for a good action/suspense novel, don't bother with this one... Read "Skeleton Coast" instead. Olivermagnus says The sixth book of the Oregon Files opens with a prologue that involves the Barbary pirates versus the American destroyer, Philadelphia, off the coast of Tunisia in 1803. Fans of the series will realize that something in the prologue will fuel the adventures of the modern day, high tech, Oregon team.
