The Jungle: The Oregon Files (utgåvan 2011)

Juan Cabrillo leads a group of highly intelligent and skilled mercenaries based on the Oregon, a state-of-the-art ship with unbelievable technology at its disposal. It's also designed to look like a rusty old trawler. In the eighth book of this popular series, the Corporation finds themselves crisscrossing the globe from the jungles of Burma to the desert of Afghanistan. They are hired to save the young mentally handicapped son of a wealthy businessman from becoming a suicide bomber. Circumstances cause them to rescue a NATO soldier who has been captured and will be beheaded on television. That's all in the first few chapters.

You know what you get with an Oregon Files book. Non-stop action, lots of humor and plenty of surprises. Cussler is master at developing a story line through a series of events that include plenty of historical information. The Jungle had lots of interesting viewpoints and character insights. An adventure with the Oregon team may be somewhat predictable, but it's never boring. If you like action and adventure style books, you will definitely enjoy this one. ( )

Kids stuff adventure. ( )

This book is one of the most convoluted stories I've ever read authored by Cussler...it actually feels like several stories all mashed together. The plot progresses from impossible crisis to solution to resolution in a few pages. In fact, the villain is not revealed until about 2 hours left to go in the 13 hour listen. The rest of the book is just surfing from unimaginable crisis to unthinkable catastrophe. ( )
