The Silent Sea The Oregon Files Clive Cussler Jack Du Brul Books

The Silent Sea is a Clive Cussler book written with Jack Du Brul. I assume that means that Mr. Du Brul does most of the writing but benefits greatly from having Mr. Cussler's name on the book in a large font. On one level, the amazing quantity of books turned out with Clive Cussler's name on them bothers me. I am seeing at least one a quarter, and I always wonder how much involvement he actually has. On the other hand, I invariably find that I enjoy the stories and I always want to read the next one that comes along.

The Silent Sea is the seventh book in the series about the Oregon and Chairman Juan Cabrillo and his amazing crew. It's fun to read. The action just whizzes along, and our heroes pull off one miraculous escapade after another. Believe it or not, this one deals with Argentina's effort to annex Antarctica with the backing of superpower China, but there is actually much more to it than that. Plot is usually not a strong point in the current Cussler books. Just go with it and enjoy the story. One additional point is that one of my favorite characters in the Oregon books is the ship itself. The Oregon spends most of its time passing as a tramp freighter, but behind the scenes, the ship is an engineering marvel. Futuristic weapons systems, all the latest nautical advances, and wonderful little touches that help to keep the crew happy.

If you enjoyed the previous books in this series, you will certainly enjoy this one.

The Silent Sea The Oregon Files Clive Cussler Jack Du Brul Books Reviews

Cussler's works always involve a bit of history that has significant ramifications, if not dire consequences, for the present day. This title is no exception, and is thoroughly enjoyable and imaginative in the telling of the tale. I hesitated for some time before jumping into the Oregon series, wrongly assuming the stories were about some boring tug boat, harbor-bound cheesey character. Far from it - the Oregon series are easily the equal of the Dirk Pitt legend, surprising in their enterprise, imaginative plots, and action episodes. This effort is obviously no Shakespearian icon, but another Cussler story that's just plain fun involving high technology, the Antarctic, and Chinese attempts to influence the course of World events. And the good guys win. This book was penned along with Jack DuBrul, himself a gifted writer known for the Phillip Mercer series, more of which I would definitely enjoy. Some might criticize Mr Cussler for prolifically cranking out books with co-authors, but I for one enjoy a good story, and the more the better. The Cussler "factory" reminds me of the Stratemeyer syndicate that cranked out all those Tom swift, Hardy Boys, etc books in the 40's and 50's. Great reads for kids growing up, and now those same kids can enjoy the efforts of Mr Cussler et al. A great Cussler story is like being a kid again.
On December 7, 1941, five brothers exploring a remote island make an exciting discovery. Fast-forward to the present-day Juan Cabrillo and the rest of his Oregon crew mates are sent to Argentina to retrieve the remains of a crashed American satellite. The Oregon looks like a dilapidated old freighter when in reality, she is a technological wonder ship, possessing high-tech equipment and weaponry. During the mission, Cabrillo discovers the remains of a large blimp which crashed near the site where the satellite went down. Thus begins a series of events that will take Cabrillo and the other members of the Oregon to Pine Island, the Mississippi River, Argentina, Paraguay, and Antarctica. Throughout the duration of the book, Cabrillo and his friends are running from Argentine members of the ninth brigade. Will Cabrillo manage to stay ahead of them, or will the Argentines catch up? All of the events in the novel feed off one another, and Clive Cussler does a masterful job of tying everything together. The ending of the book is explosive, to say the least.

This is the second Cussler novel I've read and, as with the first, I was very impressed. Cussler and Du Brul do a masterful job of creating life-like characters which the reader can easily relate to and, in the case of "The Silent Sea", root for. I was impressed with the breadth of characters introduced by Cussler. Although there are a lot of characters introduced, each one has his/her own unique talents which adds to the excitement of the story. Cabrillo, of course, was my favorite due to his jack-of-all-trades persona. As for the story itself, being a fan of World War II history, I was immediately intrigued by the reference to December 7, 1941. From there, the events of the present-day unfold at a fast and furious pace. I particularly liked Cussler's choice of the Argentines as Cabrillo's antagonists. I thought the ending was the best part of the book, as the story literally explodes.

I give this book my highest recommendation. Clive Cussler and his partner Jack Du Brul have written a first-class thriller that really draws the reader in. Don't miss this fun and exciting book.
Holy Crap! This was one of the best books I have ever had the privilege to read. Eric A Shelman recommended that I get this book and listen to it on Audible. The characters are perfect, the story line is engaging and believable. The whole thing could and possible is happening as we speak. The narrator made this experience even better! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book.
The Oregon Files series co-authored by Jack Du Brul are the best single series of Cussler's books outside of the Dirk Pitt novels. The characters are cleverly developed and interact so well that it is easy to imagine that you are a part of the Oregon's crew. While I enjoy Dirk, Al, Kurt and Joe and the rest of Clive Cussler's menagerie of adventurers, The Oregon Files is far and away my favorite of all the series. Jack Du Brul is a great writer with his own series and teamed with Cussler, they are unbeatable. I look forward to every cruise of the intrepid Oregon!
