Book Description:
Clive Cussler debuted his new series, The Oregon Files, with the incredible adventure of Golden Buddha. Now he follows that triumph with Sacred Stone, a rollicking new tale featuring the enigmatic captain of The Oregon, Juan Cabrillo.

In the remote wastes of Greenland, an ancient artifact possessing catastrophic radioactive power is unearthed. But the astounding find puts the world at risk.

Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his network of spies known as The Corporation must fight to protect the stone-and prevent the outbreak of World War III.

The second of the Oregon Files series. The book has a slow start and a style that makes it feel as though the action takes place over a longer period of time than it actually does.

Cussler and Dirgo create characters that you can enjoy and respect over the series of books as well as situations you wish that someone in the world would handle in such creatively compassionate ways (not to say the bad guys don't get what's coming to them).

Cussler does it again, good read though a bit different than the Pitt series as this book seems to jump around a bit.

This is the second novel in the Oregon Files series featuring Juan Cabrillo as the chairman of the Corporation, a group of ex-military and intelligence operatives who hire themselves out to countries and individuals needing specialized services--"a private army of mercenaries with a conscience." Good plot,very pleasant read.

Classic Cussler: The Oregon team is the best, honest non stop action, and as the way it should be the good guy's not only win they kick butt.

In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millenium-a 50,000 year old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone, which possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing terrorist groups who seek the stone for themselves.

Great adventure read by the author of the Dirk Pitt novels.
In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millinnium--a 50,000-year-old meteorite known as the Scared Stone, which possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing terrorist groups who seek the stone for their own purposes.
One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the West. The other group is led by a meglomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself.
Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his ship, the Oregon, crewed by high-tech mercenaries known as the Corporation must fight to protect the Sacred Stone--and prevent the outbreak of World War III.
