Another super entry in the Oregon Files series. I have really enjoyed the last several of these novels about the exploits of the crew of the Oregon. This one takes place less on the sea and has a lot of action in the jungles of Argentina, the Antarctic, and trying to find the secret of a "Treasure Pit" on an island off the coast of Washington. This part of the novel was quite intriguing but it reminded me a lot of another great actioner - Riptide by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Riptide was about another treasure pit or water pit supposedly constructed by pirates to contain hidden treasure. Not sure if Cussler/Du Brul borrowed the idea from this earlier novel. Anyway, "Silent Sea" was a page-turner as usual, and I would highly recommend it.

The Silent Sea is a very interesting book.. It is all
over the world with current happenings.. Loved how he connects the past with the present, and ties it all together. Exciting, fast paced and futuristic.. Cannot wait for his new book about the Oregon..

Once again Clive has teamed up with De Brul and produced another master piece in writing. The Oregon Files are probably not far from the truth in today's world. It was one of those books that once he sets the stage you can't put it down.
