Very disappointing
|
|
I've been a Cussler fan for over 30 years and have hugely enjoyed most of his books but this was a real stinker. The science regarding the hurricane generator was nonsense and it felt like it had been sponsored by ESSO or George Bush. Perhaps I'm just getting too old for this stuff...

At His Absolute Best!
|
This is a must read not only for fans of Clive Cussler, but for anyone with a taste for adventure and suspense. Much better than his pervious oregon adventure "Dark Watch".
There isn't much more to say than buy this book, you won't be dissappointed.

Another Gripping Tale from the Author
|
Clive Cussler was born in 1931 and grew up in Alhambra, California. He attended Pasadena City College before joining the Air Force. He went on to a successful advertising career, winning many national honours for his copywriting. He has also explored the deserts of the American Southwest in search of lost gold mines, dived in isolated lakes in the Rocky Mountains looking for lost aircraft and hunted under the sea for shipwrecks of historic significance, discovering and identifying more than sixty. He is married with three children, and divides his time between Colorado and Arizona. His credentials as a best selling author cannot be doubted and he has a large `stable' of best selling adventure novels.
Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon, a well disguised combat shop have barely escaped from a mission on the Congo River. Not in a hurry to commit is men to anything else for a while when the radio operator intercepts a mayday call from a boat under fire off the African coast. Much as he would like to ignore the Mayday, no seaman with an ounce of self-respect can ignore such a call. Cabrillo takes the appropriate action and saves the beautiful Sloane Macintyre.
Sloane is looking for a long lost sunken ship that could hold a fortune in diamonds. But what intrigues Cabrillo most of all is her story about a mad fisherman who claims to have been attacked in the same area by giant metal snakes . . .
