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 series. And they’ll do it once again, with Corsair.

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.

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.

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.

LP 667 pages Another action adventure by Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon as they are contracted to locate the US Secretary of State whose plane has gone missing over Libya on the way to an international peace conference. 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 "" (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. A recently discovered letter points to a link between the Barbary pirate Suleiman Al-Jama and Henry Lafayette, a seaman captured from the Philadelphia battle. While trapped together, they may have learned tolerance toward each other's religion.

Fast forwarding to modern times, Secretary of State Fiona Katamura is on her way to meet with the Libyan delegation, where the world is hoping for a Middle East peace settlement. Her plane is suddenly hit by something, crashes, and all on board are presumed dead. The Oregon team is hired to try to find out what happened and if she's still alive. In a parallel story-line, the team is trying to find terrorist, Al-Jama, who has taken his name from from the Islamic pirate in the prologue.

The Oregon Files always gives the reader a combination of history and fast paced action/adventure. Clive Cussler and Jack du Brul write nonstop action novels that would make great movies. The Oregon team can do it all. They can fire rockets, dodge bullets, and still solve a long lost secret. Readers who want real-life situations in their entertainment should avoid this series. I just love the over-the-top characters, escapes, shoot-outs, last-minute-saves, and a train chase that will blow you away. If you like action adventure novels

Huw Evans says

Back to the one legged superhero with the toys for boys. The secretary of state has been kidnapped on her way to a peace conference arranged by a Libyan,no less. What? The outcome becomes obvious and inevitable from the middle of the book and the only question that is unanswered at this point is the relevance of the punitive misssion in Tripoli by the American Marines in the late nineteenth century. I did not wait to find out.

Miloš says

3.5 stars. Pomalo naivno, na trenutke skoro neverovatno, ali sve u svemu zanimljivo. ?

John says

Fun book. If you've never read a Jack DeBrul/Clive Cussler collaboration before it's very similar to a /James Bond/Indiana Jones type of plot line - archeological mystery, world or regional crisis, figuring it out, someone saves the day, etc.

Except in these "Oregon Files" novels instead of just one guy figuring things out and saving the day it is a group of mercenaries who have formed a for-profit corporation and take on jobs that governments can't openly do. They do it for profit (they all have multi-million dollar pensions from their work so far), but they only take on worthy and upstanding causes. They go around the world in this major-high-tech ship that's disguised as a run-down cargo ship flying the Iranian flag and have all sorts of high-tech toys/weapons/equipment.

The crew/corporation is composed of all types of characters including the studly-tough types, nerdy info geeks, and tough women. The variety of characters makes for a more interesting read than just one tough,cool guy. It also allows for the authors to split up the characters to different places and the action/story line is spread out (one of those types of books where you are really getting into one minor plot line then the next chapter switches to another group and you give an internal scream, read on and stay up too late).

I've read all four of the "Oregon Files" novels and this one is definitely one of the better ones (they don't have to be read in sequence - they stand on their own). It keeps the action going from start to finish. There are a few fight/battle scenes that are too drawn out and one or two over-the-top/unrealistic fight survivals by the captain of the Oregon. But that kind of goes with the territory/genre. Overall this was a fun read. I enjoyed it and looked forward to picking it up at the end of the day to see what would happen next. I would recommend it if you want a fun action book.

Ivan Zullo says

Corsair is the 6th novel of The Oregon Files. If possible, this is the most adrenaline-filled saga written by Clive Cussler (here he cowrites with Jack Du Brul). The main ingredients are a terroristic threat and a never-give-up attitude for Cabrillo and his crew aboard the Oregon, a ship where anything is what it seems. Clive Clussler succeed in writing a fast-paced story that force you to read it and be surprised with the countless twists in the tale. Corsair is a 2009 novel, so I admire the courage to write about such a sensitive topic. Basically it is good versus evil, but Cussler doesn't give up on try to let rationality prevail. Moreover, as in former Oregon Files, even if the Chairman Cabrillo is the frontman, a lot of crew members have their 15 minutes of celebrity. Each and every one of them is preciuos and crucial to reach the final goal, by saving the civilized world. And last but not least, the end is a real gem. Breathtaking.

Tian Liang says

Corsair is, by far, one of the best Cussler books I've read. I was let down a while ago by "Pirahna" when Lawrence Kensit (the main villian-supposedly to have been extremely intellectually gifted) was so predictable and yet so naive. Combining crystal-clear descriptions of action scenes and an exquisite choice of diction, the whole novel is a coherent and exciting read that got me on the edge of my seat.
