Another action-packed thriller from Cussler! I always enjoy Cussler's novels and this was no exception. I got drawn into the story from the beginning with the opening sequence of the downed Nazi reconnaissance plane and what appeared to be the discovery of Noah's Ark on a glacier in Norway. It took quite a while into the story for this to tie into the rest of the story but as usual Cussler tied all the loose threads together. The premise of the book was somewhat similar to the last James Rollins novel I read - The Judas Strain - with a deadly virus or plague as the backdrop of the novel. Some of the other details were quite fascinating including the Responsivist group and their plans to reduce global overpopulation, the Japanese Unit 731 which I found was a real biological warfare unit and worse than described in the novel, and the Stalin's Fist weapon. This is the second Oregon Files novel I have read (Skeleton Coast was the first) and I really enjoy the Juan Cabrillo character and his group - almost as much as Dirk Pitt.

Another winner by Clive Cussler..Juan and crew have a great adventor and of course best the bad guys.

For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits of the Oregon, a covert ship completely dilapidated on the outside but, on the inside, packed with sophisticated weaponry and intelligence-gathering equipment. Captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew of former military and spy personnel, it is a private enterprise, available for any government agency that can afford itâ€"and now Cussler sends the Oregon on its most extraordinary mission yet.

The crew has just completed a top secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf, when they come across a cruise ship adrift in the sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and as Cabrillo tries to determine what happened, explosions rack the length of the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner's sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himself plunged into a mystery as intricateâ€"and as perilousâ€"as any he has ever known, and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for the human race ... plans he may already be too late to stop.
