The Silent Sea is the 7th book in The Oregon Files series by Clive Cussler. This is the 5th book in which the co-author is Jack Du Brul.
Juan Cabrillo and his crew are asked by the CIA to retrieve a piece of NASA technology that has been lost over Argentina. While searching for the crashed satellite, the crew makes an astonishing discovery that leads back to a small island in the US and a long-ago Chinese expedition. What ensues is a race to prevent territorial thievery, avoid ecological disaster and find answers to a mystery that is decades old. Oh, and doing that all in direct opposition to the wishes of the US…
This plot was interesting but convoluted and took some time to all come together. As usual, Cabrillo and his crew manage near-impossible feats of derring-do and are able to bring the mission and then some to a successful conclusion. The only sour note was that the ending fell kind of flat after all the intrigue and explosive action. That won’t stop me from continuing the series, however, and I look forward to future adventures with The Oregon and its crew.
Rating: 4 stars
