Clive Cussler's Fire Strike

Product Information

Maybe it would have been acceptable as a standard military action novel, but it does not carry on the enjoyable legacy of the prior Oregon Files novels. D. in political science from the University of California at Davis, specializing in international relations and comparative politics. I think I had looked up a C-130 landing and taking off of an aircraft carrier before, because that was mentioned in this book, too, and I was, "Bunk!

I thought the bad guys in this novel did exceptionally well against the Oregon crew even though they really knew nothing about them.What drew me to The Oregon Files and made it my Clive Cussler favorite series are the ship and her crew. Juan Cabrillo is doing a favor for the CIA by tracking down the brother of a formerly high ranking Israeli agent.

In their quest to stop him, Cabrillo's crew are about to meet their most fearsome adversaries yet: a force of bio-hacked soldiers endowed with extreme strength and stamina and an unquenchable appetite for violence. When Juan Cabrillo, captain of the Oregon , is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot.

When Cabrillo is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot. My only issue with the story is that Maden did not place the ship Oregon in the center of the action.I grew up working in the canneries, feed mills and slaughterhouses of California’s San Joaquin Valley. Yes, its all luck and significant amounts of danger but at the end of the day we feel safe in knowing that our favorite crew will triumph again. Maden has served as a political consultant and campaign manager in state and national elections, and hosted his own local weekly radio show. It is always hard to "develop" an existing character or team of characters in a series of books because they still have to remain true to their core identities so that the readers do not lose interest in them; in addition, there are so many different authors in the books that it can become difficult to keep track of true character development in prior novels. Hoping to help a fellow former agent find her son at his boss’s request, the plot slowly takes us through a grand conspiracy, hoping to start a war with the US by firing a hypersonic missile at an aircraft carrier in the Gulf.

Juan and his team went to some lengths to make sure nobody was killed unless there was no other option despite it putting themselves at greater risk (because the bad guys would clearly not be holding back on trying to kill Oregon's crew.

I stopped reading the Numa files and Fargo books because they were all the same just different locations. I think I've said this numerous times regarding these Clive Cussler originated books, but they're all good easy reading.
