Lawyers of Oregon

Dark Watch (The Oregon Files)

Description

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

Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a very comfortable and very dangerous living working for high-powered Western interests. But their newest clients have come from the Far East to ask for Cabrillo's special brand of assistance: a consortium of Japanese shipping magnates whose fortunes are being threatened by brutal pirates trolling the waters of Southeast Asia.

Normally, such attacks on the high seas are limited to smaller ships and foreign-owned yachts-easy targets on the open ocean. Now, however, giant commercial freighters are disappearing. But when Cabrillo confronts the enemy, he learns that the pirates' predations hide a deadly international conspiracy-a scheme of death and slavery that Juan Cabrillo is going to blow out of the water.

Summary: "Great as always"

Clive Cussler can really spin a great tale. I wouldn't miss any of his books.

Summary: "Third entry in the Oregon Files series"

The third novel in Cussler's Oregon Files series finds Juan Cabrillo and crew attempting to stop piracy on the high seas. However, the pirates aren't the only problem they face: an international conspiracy involving Chinese slave labor is discovered, and Cabrillo's team is the only thing that can stop it. The Oregon Files series is, with each novel, somehow less interesting to me. Dirk Pitt's adventures are great, fun reads but there's an undercurrent of pessimism that marks the Cussler/DuBrul series.

Summary: "De-focused onto two plots, not Cussler's best effort"

Dark Watch by Clive Cussler was not as interesting as his other works. This abridged audio book was the story of modern day pirates who take not only the cargo of a captured ship but they also take the ship itself. Throw in some international slave traders and you have what seems like two books going at the same time with only minimal interactions.

The book would have been better if it focused on one story and then developed it in greater detail. I am still a big fan of Cussler. This one is not his best work.

We found it very enjoyable and entertaining. The plot moves and the action is continuous. The Oregon Files series continues to be great.
