About this deal

D. in political science from the University of California at Davis, specializing in international relations and comparative politics. As you would expect, eventually these come together to form a semi coherent plot, but it was well past the half way point of the book where that happened.

I felt that the author took Cabrillo to an unbelievable "level" of survivability in this book and it took me out of the moment. Clive Cussler was the author of more than eighty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt®, NUMA Files®, Oregon Files®, Isaac Bell®, and Sam and Remi Fargo®. I loved that he was able to use the shotgun shell in the heal of his boot to help him win a later fight. Juan Carrillo and his team of high paid mercenaries are tasked to find the missing brother of an associate that has been reported serving time in an overseas high security prison. The characters feel developed out and we worry for them, even when we sense that they are in danger.Mike Maden adroitly takes over the reins in his second Oregon Files written under Clive Cusslers name. Juan Cabrillo is doing a favor for the CIA by tracking down the brother of a formerly high ranking Israeli agent. He gets beaten badly, has some broken ribs as well as other bruised bones and tissue, but ends up leading a mission.

e. even though this is such a sophisticated ship, there is something in each new novel that will sink it), Juan goes solo on missions (which makes no sense, considering the level of talent of the crew and the myriad of injuries he sustains and miraculously can continue to function through the rest of the novel), and, oh yes, he also gets captured somehow in the middle. In their quest to stop him, Cabrillo's crew are about to meet their most fearsome adversaries yet: a force of bio-hacked soldiers endowed with extreme strength and stamina and an unquenchable appetite for violence. While CRISPR has been in the news for a while, this was the first book I've read that uses it as part of the story. stars for believability of opening sequence and weird over protectiveness of getting crew into the sick bay. And then you had the "mobile attack group" attacking a camp "filled" with these enhanced soldiers and the camp is easily taken out with zero casualties to the Oregon's team(s).I think I had looked up a C-130 landing and taking off of an aircraft carrier before, because that was mentioned in this book, too, and I was, "Bunk! In this book, we get the intro chapter of the book to discover some of Maurice's earlier military history before he retired from the British Navy and joined Juan Cabrillo's crew. When Juan Cabrillo, captain of the Oregon, is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot.

The plot revolves around two stolen missiles and one scientist's quest to improve the gene pool of humanity. The Oregon is not only a vessel but is a main character, an extension of every great character on board. There are at least five different stories taking place, and none seem to have any relationship to the opening scenario, or to each other.It was sad to read about the damage done to the port as I can only assume numerous innocent civilians and military personnel going about their normal business were killed, but it was still a cool moment.
