Product Description

Review

'The guy I read' Tom Clancy 'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail


Product Description

For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits of the Oregon, a clandestine spy 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 it – 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 intricate – and as perilous – 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great escapism swashbuckling nonsense!!, 29 Aug 2008
By Red (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
  
Rough-and-tumble adventure at sea with high-tech; Clive Cussler owns the genre. Plague Ship (Oregon Files) is the fourth book of the Oregon series but the first that I've read and it was no surprise to find a fantastic story line and implausible derring-do. Just what I was hoping for!

The Oregon series features Juan Cabrillo and his Corporation. Cabrillo is an ex-CIA operative turned paramilitary mercenary. Along with his hand-picked team he takes assignments mainly from the CIA. Oregon is the Corporation's base ship, a rust bucket refitted for speed, maneuverability and anonymity.

PLAGUE SHIP's plot is built around an organization called the Responsivists, whose aim is to redistribute wealth by population reduction; the plot is too complex to summarize easily but be assured that it's full of wild chases and battles on land and sea. Cabrillo and his Corporation achieve several rescues of team members from impossibly dangerous situations; there are some "MacGyver moments" and some exciting technology. The outcome is never in doubt.

This series is co-authored, in this case by Jack Du Brul, but it bears Cussler's stamp. I`m a big fan of serials, Dirk Pitt, Jack Reacher(Lee Child) Harry Bosch(Michael Connelly) Rebus(Ian Rankin) and more violent `John Tankersley aka `Tank`in the Soft Target books(Conrad Jones) are a source of reading matter that is almost endless as an action thriller genre, Cussler is far more fanciful, but I found it well written and fun, a four-star read. My main issues (besides predictability) were the rather lame "bracketing story" in the prologue and epilogue, and the possibly too-large Corporation team. Juan Cabrillo is no Dirk Pitt, but he does rule his operation with flair. I will definitely read more from this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the next one, 16 Jul 2008
Plague ship was even better than Skeleton Coast, I felt restricted in only being able to give this book five stars.
Juan Cabrillo returns on the Oregon with his crew of mercenaries in yet another thrilling adventure.
A must read for Cussler Fans and adventure lovers alike.
