Product Description

Review

Sailing the high seas with Cussler once again. Cussler's first mate on the computer, Craig Dirgo, also copilot for The Sea-Hunters (1996) and The Sea-Hunters II: More True Adventures with Famous Shipwrecks (2002), signs on for his first tour as same for Cussler's fiction, joining him in a new paperback series featuring the Oregon files. Cussler's other sometimes-paperback fiction series, from the NUMA files (but featuring Kurt Austin rather than Dirk Pitt) is co-written by Paul Kamprecos (Fire Ice, 2002). Along with the ghosted and long-running Robert Ludlum and Harold Robbins industries, all this says something about today's thriller and adventure fiction simply as product-although let's remember that Alexandre Dumas built a giant factory of ghosts for churning out romances. The Oregon files turn on a secret ship captained by the mysterious Juan Cabrillo. Disguised as a freighter for hauling lumber, the ship bristles with electronic intelligence gear, is fantastically well-armed, and flies the Iranian flag-an American spy ship flies an Iranian flag? Object: to grab Tibet from the Chinese and Russians and return it to the Dalai Lama. Honestly fabulous. (Kirkus Reviews)


Product Description

Juan Cabrillo skippers a disguised spy ship - for hire for covert missions. In this adventure he must find and sieze a golden Buddha - the artifact and its contents are vital to striking a deal with the Russians and the Chines and restoring the Dalai Lama to power in Tibet.

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
This review is from: Golden Buddha (Oregon Files) (Paperback)
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
  
This review is from: Golden Buddha (Oregon Files 1) (Paperback)
Very poor reading, the formula doesnt work. Try the `Soft Target` novels by Conrad Jones they are brilliant books in the same genre.
