Clive Cussler is probably my favorite author. I've just gotten into the Oregon Files series, this being the third of the series I have read. It isn't the best. It took me a long time to get addicted to the story. Most of his books I read from cover to cover in one sitting. That being said, in the end I did like the book and the story. Stick with it and you will too.
Well I can't say this is Clive's best work. It is a good junk book if you have 5 minutes a day to read. Quick plot and international action as regular for Cussler. I don't know how much Craig Dirgo helped or hurt the master of action adventure in this Oregon Files series.
