Product Description

Product Description
The creator of the bestselling NUMA and Dirk Pitt series, is back with his latest and most intriguing high seas action hero: the enigmatic captain of the Oregon, Juan Cabrillo. Only Cabrillo could convert the interior of a nondescript lumber hauler into a state of the art spy ship—and only he could take the helm on the dangerous covert missions it carries out for whatever U.S. agency pays the price. In his first feature length adventure, it’s up to Cabrillo and his crew of expert intelligence and naval men to put Tibet back in the hands of the Dalai Lama by striking a deal with the Russians and the Chinese. His gambling chip is a golden Buddha containing records of vast oil reserves in the disputed land. But first, he’ll have to locate—and steal—the all-important artifact. And there are certain people who would do anything in their power to see him fail…

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden buddha is Golden, 13 Oct 2003
By J. J Kamlani "jotuj" (Fairfield, Connecticut United States) - See all my reviews
In Golden Buddha Cussler breaks from his formula to write an exellent story about a private spy networks attempts to put the Dalai Lama back in his rightful place as leader of Tibet. The novel moves at a fast pace, as Juan Cabrillo, and his co-conspirators attempt to thwart the Russian, and Chinese military, and intelligence services.
I have been a long time fan of Mr. Cussler's and this book confirms why; in his mid-seventies, while other authors take the take the easy road of formula writing, Cussler continues to re-invent the action-adventure novel.Simply put; As head of Numa(Nation Underwater Marine Agency) Mr. Cussler has no equal!
Lots of fun to read. Pure escapism, and a lot of fun to be had by all readers! I can't imagine anyone not being thrilled by this, or any of his novels. Highly reccommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly enjoyable book, 22 Oct 2004
I really enjoy reading Golden Bouddah and greatly recommand it. At first, I was reluctant to leave Numa and Dirk Pitt but I found Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon ship just a good.
The book follows the same patern as the Dirk Pitt adventures: starting in the past, then jumping back to the present time and bit by bit, the puzzle falls into place.
For me, it's really a book I coudn't wait to pick it up again... and now that I've finished it, I can't wait to start reading "Sacred Stone", the second of the Oregon files.

1.0 out of 5 stars Getting tired, 5 Aug 2008
By Red (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
  
Very poor reading, the formula doesnt work. Try the `Soft Target` novels by Conrad Jones they are brilliant books in the same genre.
