Dark Watch Clive Cussler

The author of the bestselling NUMA(r) and Dirk Pitt(r) series returns with an all- new novel of adventure and intrigue featuring his unbeatable hero of the high seas-Juan Cabrillo…

From BooklistCussler’s back, this time with coauthor Dubrul. For those readers who are still counting, it’s Cussler’s twenty-eighth book. This one involves the clandestine spy ship Oregon, whose crew–led by one Juan Cabrillo–work for what Cussler describes as “high-powered Western interests.” Cabrillo’s most recent employers are a consortium of Japanese shipping tycoons who are being threatened by pirates. The plot includes mercantile freighters that are disappearing, missiles that North Korea is marketing to Syria, bad guys planting a bomb on a ship that the U.S. wants to destroy, the sinking of a exploration vessel, covert operations from any number of nations, and the threat of sicknesses such as typhoid and cholera that could run rampant–and that’s just the introductory 100 pages. These are a few trite lines (“We can’t see diddly,” for example) and an ending that doesn’t come as a surprise, but Cussler’s innumerable fans won’t care. George Cohen

What the 2 former Oregon Files novels SHOULD have been…
By Jeff Edwards
I wanted to take pleasure in ‘Golden Buddha’ when it initial came out — I REALLY did…but as another reviewer noted, with Juan Cabrillo and the ENDLESS cast of secondary characters that popped up on almost each single page, I found myself less concerned with where the plot was going, and more on racking my memory for WHO this person was, and had they been introduced before, or are they brand new? I think ANY time a novel feels the need to place a directory at the beginning of the book to remind you of who is IN the book, and it STILL doesn’t help, I think you have an idea of where everything is going to end up.
