The Silent Sea (Oregon Files Series #7)

Another great "Oregon Files" story

Our hero Juan Cabrillo comes through again. An interesting and exciting story from the Oregon Files. Going from South America to the Pacific Northwest to Antartica, globe hopping all over. Great story line. Have always loved the way Cussler mixes in actual historical events and builds a great story around them.
Cabrillo is the Errol Flynn swash-buckling hero of our times. Love the whole premise of the Corporation and the Orgegon and it's crew. A dedicated bunch. Hopefully there will be many more stories to come in this series.

Adventure on the High Seas

I confess, I'm a huge Clive Cussler fan and have been for decades so whenever he releases a new novel I'm up for the adventure. The Silent Sea does not disappoint. It's practically non-stop excitement and it had me guessing until literally the very last paragraph. As usual, Cussler and DuBrul weave a great tale of adventure. Highly recommended! I also recommend DuBrul's Philip Mercer series.

Book Ruined my day

Major problem with this book is it prevents me from living life. Like all of Cussler's adventures, it removes the reader from the real world. So, I almost missed a flight. I was the last one off the plane, and I preferred sittng and reading in the hotel room rather than attend the meetings I paid good money to attend. So, the bottom line is, don't buy this book unless you are willing to set aside time to leave your real world and have a great page turning read in Cussler's world.

Brick reads Cussler BEST!

We listened to this on a long trip from New Jersey to Virginia, up and back. It is entertaining, connected to previous reads, and different enough to hold your interest in Washington traffic! As always Cussler starts with threads and weaves them together. The chase is thrilling and the characters are in their element. Brick reads the script well and his voice has the right tembor to keep you asking for more. A great fun read!

Cussler Rocks ! ! !

I have yet to read a Cussler book that has not turned into a page turner. The start takes some patience, but once the real story line gets started, it is non-stop action to the end.
In this book, the story centers around the characters from his Oregon Files series. There is a time when it was hard to see how the different stories being told inter-related but then all of a sudden it hits you and it is at that point you want to keep reading to see what happens next.
Any fan of Clive Cussler's is going to enjoy this book, I know I did.

Wow

He does it again

Great story! Mystery and excitement all the way through!

I enjoyed this story very much. I was not sure what it was about, but I will be looking for more of Clive Cussler's work. I think it would be a good read for anyone age 13 and up, and if a younger person was a good reader, they would enjoy it also.

Great read.

This was a great read! Downloading another cussler / du brul book tonight!

Great book

I really love this series! As always, the adventures of Juan and his crew made for a great read.

One of the BEST

This is a grabber right from the beginning. My only regret is that I didn't start with the first book in the series.

The Silent Sea

Clive Cussler's novels are so fascinating. This one begins with five brothers exploring a shaft on a small island rumored to hold pirate's treasures. Then the US is brought into the Second World War with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This prologue pulled me in and I am glad it did. Fast forward to the present, Cussler's hero Cabrillo is trying to recover a US satellite that crashed the jungles of Argentina and finds the remnants of a blimp. From the jungles to Antarctica the adventure builds up with enough action to keep Cabrillo busy. This definitely was one page turner.

Classic Cussler

Juan, Max, Julia and all the boys in yet another great swashbuckling adventure out to save the world from another global threat. I never want it to end and all too frequently, the end of the book comes far too quickly. All of Mr. Cussler's hero's keep the male readers wanting to be that hero and all us female readers wanting to marry them - all of them. Wonderful characters that you just love to love and non-stop action that you just hate to set the book down to do anything else. The frigid Antarctic setting is no exception in this chapter of Juan's life. Bravo, Bravo! once again - you never leave me disappointed.

a good read

The Silent Sea is a can't put down book like many of Clive Cussler's other books. Each page has you wanting to keep turning the page to find out what happens next. He does jump from one set of characters to the other and he is good at intergrating them at the same time as their stories meet towards the last quarter of the book. Juan Cabrillo is deffently has his hands full in this adventure. And there is an unexpected event that will have anyone in tears as they are reading. I think this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Clive Cussler pulled out all the stops in this book. As I finshed the book I am anxious for the next Oregon Files installment to see what happens next.

Another Good one for Cussler

I haven't read a book of Mr. Cussler that I didn't enjoy, and this was no exception. It is a easy read and flows very quickly. Can't wait till the next one!

Nother awesome Oregon Files book from Clive Cussler and Jack DuBrul. A great pairing of two fantastic authors.

Keep these books coming! I have all of Clive's books and all of Jack DuBrul's. I can't wait for another one from Clive relating to all of his characters and to Jack DuBrul's Philip Mercer.

What a great pairing of these two authors. Keep up the great work.

He's done it again!

If you don't like books with twists and turns or endings that leave you hanging, don't get this book. I have read all Cussler's books except one or two of his non-fiction books. While some are definitely better than others, I can't recall any that were just stinkers. This particular book, I thought was excellent. His books maybe more your typical "guy" type books, but I love action, adventure, and excitement and this one delivers all with a maddening ending. I am ready for the next one in this series. All his characters are believable, strong people and Cussler combines them with enough history tossed into a plot with lots of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages. He has really strong main characters, but most work with a team of some sort and all bring a different expertise to the project. This book, like most of Cussler's books, blends several historical possibilities/probabilities with believable modern day scenarios. The Oregon Files and Dirk Pitt series are my favorite of his books, but I enjoy them all. One of the things I really enjoy is that even though he writes series type books, they each will stand alone. You don't get lost because you didn't read them in order or any others before you read your first one. "Raise the Titanic" was my first many, many years ago and I scoured the country until I have and have read them all. Enjoy!

Great Book from Great Author

"Silent Sea" is a great book from Clive Cussler, though not his best one ever. The only real problems I have with this book is that he doesn't go into detail about the historical aspects of the book like he used to. It is also to get interested when the only threatening action by the protagonists in a global scale. Otherwise the book is funny, suspencefull, dramatic, informative and everything you would want in a book!

Still good after all these years!

I've been a Clive Cussler fan for many years, and his newest work is not a disappointment! Great story line that keeps moving, twisting and turning, and you rarely know what is coming next. Great for a fun, entertaining and relaxing read that doesn't take too much mental energy or thought.

Very exciting story

This installment of the Oregon Files does not disappoint. The state of the art ship, Oregon, continues to excel whilst keeping up the pretext of being an old rust bucket. Along with a paid assignment, Juan Cabrillo and the corporation go out on a limb to do the right thing. It's exciting from start to finish. Readers new to the Oregon Files will get to know the corporation's members while previous readers will be reacquainted by the brief background information. On this adventure we get to see the younger members have a little more field experience. I didn't want to put this book down and enjoyed every minute of it.

Cussler and Du Brul do a fine job in a good action tale.

I am not that much of a fan of the Oregon series, but I have learned to enjoy the technology used by the "Corportation" in solving potential earth-ending problems. They were first introduced in a Dirk Pitt novel some ways back. They were hired to help NUMA with a tricky assingment. The characters are unique and fun, so it is a good read.

Any book with Cussler writing or sharing the authorship, as he does here, is worth the read for pure adventure.
