Rough-and-tumble adventure at sea with high-tech; Clive Cussler owns the genre. Plague Ship (Oregon Files) is the fourth book of the Oregon series but the first that I've read and it was no surprise to find a fantastic story line and implausible derring-do. Just what I was hoping for! The Oregon series features Juan Cabrillo and his Corporation. Cabrillo is an ex-CIA operative turned paramilitary mercenary. Along with his hand-picked team he takes assignments mainly from the CIA. Oregon is the Corporation's base ship, a rust bucket refitted for speed, maneuverability and anonymity. PLAGUE SHIP's plot is built around an organization called the Responsivists, whose aim is to redistribute wealth by population reduction; ... Read More:

Brilliantly written and utterly gripping. Although the plot veers towards cloud-cuckoo land at times, this serves to heighten the intrigue of which Du Brul is a master.

A good read to help kill time while travelling, but nothing special. I personal think Medusa Stone is a much better read. The main problem was the anticlimactic ending.

6.The Medusa Stone (Philip Mercer) by: Jack B. Du Brul 2000-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.20 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.04 You Save: £1.16 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This is essentially 'Boys Own' fiction for an adult audience. The plot is barely believable, the characters one-dimensional at best, and the hero gets out of more impossible situations than is humanly possible. It's almost a case of 'with one bound Jack was free', and always the explosion conveniently seals off the cave behind him, not in front. Having said that, the author certainly keeps the pace going, and it's an easy book to read - a good train journey book, in essence - and he certainly does his research. If he could just tone down the plot and action, and put more effort into exploring the characters he's created, he could probably write quite a decent novel.

7.River of Ruin (Philip Mercer) by: Jack B. Du Brul December 20, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.20 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.08 You Save: £1.12 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.27
Definitely better than Pandora's Curse. The story moves along a a fast pace, about a Chinese General trying to take over the Panama Canal, and of course, the only one standing in his way is the hero of the story, Philip Mercer. Not what you'd expect from the title, and quite a few surprises thrown in. His best book since Medusa Stone. A good alternative if you've read all of Cussler's books, but you can tell where he gets his ideas for his books. My only complaint; he should spend more time giving his hero a personality(i.e. a sense of humor?). The Phil's character reads like a cardboard box-no personality. Still a lot of fun to read, and enough action to keep any reader interested.

I have struggled to turn any pages of this novel, i have enjoyed many Cussler novels. I have got to page 437 and i have had enough, i have been bored and have decided to give the book away to a colleague because I can stand no more. The plot is weak and unbelievable i look forward to picking up another novel that will keep me interested
