Clive Cussler's Fire Strike

Product Information

This is one of those novels where you are thrown into a character's situation for a chapter, and then you are thrown into another character's situation in the next chapter. Had any team members actually died, that would have led to some strong character growth as each surviving member of the crew would have had to process those losses. Like millions of others, I first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading The Hunt for Red October, and began my published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre, starting with DRONE and the sequels, BLUE WARRIOR, DRONE COMMAND and DRONE THREAT.

e. even though this is such a sophisticated ship, there is something in each new novel that will sink it), Juan goes solo on missions (which makes no sense, considering the level of talent of the crew and the myriad of injuries he sustains and miraculously can continue to function through the rest of the novel), and, oh yes, he also gets captured somehow in the middle. Maybe he could have; I have read military biographies and military history books that have described military personnel undergoing crazy extreme wounds and surviving, so anything is possible, I guess. The plot revolves around two stolen missiles and one scientist's quest to improve the gene pool of humanity.Apparently, it was just intended to show the reader how bad the bad guys are without the situation being necessary for the plot. For fans of previous volumes in this series or action heroes like Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp, this is a must read.

When Cabrillo is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot. I enjoyed the blending of current technological levels with advanced theories and advanced levels of technology to extrapolate how things might turn out if such technology was more prevalent today. Juan Cabrillo and his gang, the Corporation on their super-ship, the Oregon are back at adventures again.Mike Maden adroitly takes over the reins in his second Oregon Files written under Clive Cusslers name.
