The 2008 Cussler is here! Soon more... I'll make a bookray - after having read it. (It's a hardcover).

Edit, August 6, 2008: Again an incredible story written by this author! Some feats are quite unbelievable, but other descriptions most interesting. The plot as such might seem a little bit far fetched - but who knows? One of the best scenes is that of Juan Cabrillo escaping a fast sinking cruise ship!

Here are the bookcrossers taking part in this bookray:

"LindyLouMac" from Vetralla, Lazio, Italy
back to "Book-Man-8"
"xanderer" from Alexandria, Virginia, USA
"perryfran" from Rockville, Maryland, USA
"imawinn2" from Neenah, Wisconsin, USA

A fast paced adventure one could almost believe it was possible. The characters do however all seem to have nine lives.

Thanks book-man-8 for enabling me to read another one of your books via Bookcrossing and my wife LindyLouMac.

I didn't think I would like Cussler's Oregon Files books as much as those with Dirk Pitt, but I was pleased to discover I actually like them more. (I find the Oregon's crew of highly-talented specialists to be a slightly more believable as heroes than the outlandish Dirk Pitt single superman-type.)

Although this is not the best of that series, it's still a gripping read with some interesting plot twists.

Another action-packed thriller from Cussler! I always enjoy Cussler's novels and this was no exception. I got drawn into the story from the beginning with the opening sequence of the downed Nazi reconnaissance plane and what appeared to be the discovery of Noah's Ark on a glacier in Norway. It took quite a while into the story for this to tie into the rest of the story but as usual Cussler tied all the loose threads together. The premise of the book was somewhat similar to the last James Rollins novel I read - The Judas Strain - with a deadly virus or plague as the backdrop of the novel. Some of the other details were quite fascinating including the Responsivist group and their plans to reduce global overpopulation, the Japanese Unit 731 which I found was a real biological warfare unit and worse than described in the novel, and the Stalin's Fist weapon. This is the second Oregon Files novel I have read (Skeleton Coast was the first) and I really enjoy the Juan Cabrillo character and his group - almost as much as Dirk Pitt.

I have imawinn2's address and will get this book in the mail today. Thanks again book-man-8 for another good one.

This is the first Clive Cussler story that I have read. Generally, I don't read this type book but I really enjoyed the escapades of Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon. Lots of action! I found myself glued to the pages wondering how these characters were going to get themselves out of each situation. Thanks book-man-8 for sharing such an exciting book with us. It has left me wanting to read more works by this author.

I will be passing this along soon as I have a couple of bookboxes traveling my way.

My husband has been reading the Cussler novels, and from what imawinn says, perhaps I will give this one a go as well!!

I borrowed the audio book from the library, and listened for nearly 30 minutes before realizing that this style of book is really not my cup of tea. I was right in thinking that Cussler and I are not meant to be. Hopefully I will find someone who will love this book again!
