I was very disappointed in the plot of this Oregon bookBy tim holbrookI was very disappointed in the plot of this Oregon book. There is way too many sub-plots and details that distract and make it difficult to keep the story line straight. In addition, the sub-plots are constantly jerking you away.On the plus side, there is good suspense, and lots of action--perhaps too much action. And the actual Oregon ship is not really detailed as in the other books. And we find a great many more characters in this book--but most are simple cut-outs, and not much character development. For example we find that now the Oregon has a woman pilot for its amphibian plane, as well as a Tiny and the helicopter guy. Where did the Amphib come from?Anyway, OK book, but disappointed in the over-all writing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcelentBy ClarkExcellent read. Fast paced and well detailed as usual. The Oregon crew never disappoints and Juan Cabrillo could give any number of other heroes a run for their money.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Best Adventure Novel This YearBy Kara J. JorgesThe indomitable crew of the Oregon has just relieved the Iranian navy of a couple of Soviet missiles and delivered them to the USA when they see a ship where a ship shouldn't be on their radar, apparently foundering. Thoughts of a fat salvage fee disappear immediately when they get close enough to see that the cruise liner, Golden Dawn, is a ship of death, with hundreds of bodies littering her decks. They rescue a lone survivor before a series of explosions sinks the vessel and they barely escape with their lives. Once back aboard the Oregon, they find that second-in-command Max Hanley's son has run off with a cult called the Responsivists. Corporation Chairman Juan Cabrillo is intrigued when they also find that the ill-fated Golden Dawn was filled with Responsivists when the tragedy occurred. He starts to think there's a lot more to the organization than their belief in population control when the Corporation's snatch of Max's son Kyle is met with such well-armed resistance. Their investigation uncovers a sinister plot to be perpetrated upon the entire world, and the Corporation must find out how to stop it.I often wondered, while reading this book, if Clive Cussler wasn't actually doing about half the writing, because it felt like the height of the Dirk Pitt series in many ways. Du Brul's Phillip Mercer books lack the technical descriptions of engines, aircraft, and boats that always spiced up a Pitt adventure, but this book bristled with them. I also suspect du Brul must have immersed himself heavily into the world of Pitt before writing this because the book was chock-full of fun Cussleresque similes. This series, which I have liked since its inception, really hit its stride with last year's Skeleton Coast, but this book seemed to take it up a notch, delivering nonstop action with character development all around. We spend most of our time with Juan Cabrillo, but we also get to know several members of the crew through their exploits. Lovers of adventure thrillers should sail through this novel like the Oregon on a glassy sea. It's a class act from beginning to end, and featuring a dynamic duo of the well-seasoned talent of the patriarch of the genre, Clive Cussler, and the only other writer I know of with the same amount of talent to carry on when Clive sadly one day retires. Thank goodness that day seems a long way off. For now, this has become THE series to read if you love adventure fiction. Everything else pales in comparison. Clive Cussler's fifth Oregon Files novel, Plague Ship, pits Juan Cabrillo against a deadly adversary. In a Norwegian glacier during World War Two a Nazi officer makes an extraordinary discovery - the most legendary ship of all time . .Sixty years later Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon - a top secret state of the art military vessel disguised as a heap of junk - reap the terrible rewards of this find. In the Persian Gulf they encounter a cruise ship full of the dead and the dying. While attempting a rescue, the stricken liner erupts into a fireball. Cabrillo escapes with his life, and one survivor.When Cabrillo decides to probe deeper into this mystery, he finds a powerful cult obsessed with the end of the world. It is a discovery that sees the Oregon and her crew racing against time to prevent a sinister madman from using the secrets of the past to to destroy the future . Plague Ship is a high-stakes, high-seas adventure you won't be able to put down. The number-one bestseller Clive Cussler, author of the thrilling Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift andValhalla Rising, and co-author Jack Du Brul are back with their most exciting Juan Cabrillo assignment yet in the fifth novel of adventure series The Oregon Files, Plague Ship. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail'The guy I read' Tom ClancyBestselling author Clive Cussler has kept millions of readers hooked with adventures at sea, exotic locations, cutting-edge science and page-turning pace for four decades. As well as the Oregon Files series there are also the NUMA Files, the Dirk Pitt stories (which started it all), the Isaac Bell adventures and the Fargo series.. The other titles in the Oregon Files are: Golden Buddha, Sacred Stone, Dark Watch, Skeleton Coast, Corsair, The Silent Sea and The Jungle and are all available in Penguin paperback. From Publishers WeeklyCussler, writing with Du Brul, offers the fifth installment of his Oregon series, which follows the exploits of a covert ship that does the government's dirty work as long as the price is right. Scott Brick reads with a flare of the theatrical, at times sending his voice soaring, up, up, up in an attempt to create tension and excitement. Brick's characters are over-the-top and his pronunciation is slightly unbelievable. His reading is certainly entertaining but at odds with Cussler's staid prose that is layered with rich detail and deeply researched information. The story flows well and draws the audience in, but Brick's theatrical performance distracts. A Putnam hardcover ( s, Apr. 14).
