 Does he get paid by the word? November 29, 2008
I would have liked this book except that his style got in the way. Cussler always writes a good story, but with a co-writer, this book is bogged down with long, unnecessary explanations and descriptions that add nothing to the story. It was much too wordy, but the plot was good. I just didn't have the patience to finish it. I gave up on page 145.
A fun summer read November 29, 2008
This is a good book but it is not the best in the Oregon series and far from Cussler's best.
 What a waste November 28, 2008

Hard to put this delicately. Clive Cussler sux. Talentless formulaic garbage with his own political bias.
I hesitate to call him the "Bill O'Reilly" of fiction because
a) he probably sees that as a complement
b) its hard to discern who is the fictional writer with that comparison.
 Great Read November 18, 2008
Cussler writes an excellant story of international intrigue. The "bad" people he writes about have very real counterparts in the real world. He brings science into the plot in such a way as to make you believe it could really happen just as he describes it. The plot of mass murder thru disease that he writes about in Plague Ship is one that worries Americans today. Plague Ship is well worth the read.
Ho-Hum November 8, 2008
I like Clive Cussler and years ago I enjoyed his Dirk Pitt books as adventure/action/entertainment stories. There is a glimmer of Clives earlier stories but this was written, I am sure by someone else. For me the book was a letdown and maybe it is just me, but I found the whole storyline very weak. Even just silly. Completely implausible and totally predictable. The characters? Eh, they were very thin and it seemed like a 400 page comic book adventure. Alot of the characters motivations seem to make very little sense and...I don't know, this book just wasn't for me. There were also just way to many typos. This just could have been a better story. I am sure Clive's next book will be better.
