Leave it to Clive Cussler to write another perfect caper. Here a group of good mercenaries pull off a heist where all (or almost all) goes according to plan. Sure, it is fantasy to think that all the gadgets and gimmicks are really real and really work and that the good guys have the gimmicks. But forget about that and just sit back and enjoy a good read. This is the first in a new series, The Oregon Files, that Cussler is co-authoring with a new partner. I must admit that the writing is not as polished as in his earlier books--apparently his co-writer just does not yet have skills as smooth as you might wish for. Nevertheless, I intend to read more of this new series. Well, it is several years old now, but it is the first in the Oregon File series.
This book was Ok. Not what I usually read. It was a light, quick read. My only gripe was there were so many characters and it was hard for me to separate them, even the main character was a little flat. But the action was good and the ending satisfying. I think I'm looking forward to the next one.
Fast reading, good adventure book.
Another Clive Cussler novel. The first novel of the Oregon Files. Reached #1 on the New York Times Bestselling List.
