Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. Mike Maden, one of the Tom Clancy Estate's collection of legacy authors, knows his way around the geopolitical thriller genre. Now the Armenian has a plan to achieve “wealth beyond imagination” and avenge the genocide of Armenians by Turks in the process. Second, Juan is on the verge of being a superhero towards the ending- a little OTT, and third, PLEASE, no romance, don't turn The Oregon into the Love Boat.

I understand it is fiction but if you are going to use everyday items make sure you get their uses correct or at least believable. The mercenary Juan Cabrillo and his dedicated Oregon crew confront a ship carrying contraband, which leads to uncovering the Pipeline, a massive smuggling enterprise. With millions of innocent lives hanging in the balance, the Oregon's crew must unravel a tangle of drug-smuggling routes and international conspiracies spanning from the Aegean Sea to the Indian Ocean.In addition, you knew that all the corners the hero found himself in, were going to be overcome no matter the odds. Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. 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.

Spectacular fighting scenes ensue, with ex-SEAL Cabrillo displaying tenacity and skill worthy of the best fictional heroes. Though he isn't present in every scene, he conveys each piece of the story leading up to the murder as if he were an omniscient narrator, capable of accessing every character's interior perspective. Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon must track down a criminal dynasty and a nuclear torpedo - before World War III is unleashed . Not sure why the author used "The Dragon" as a reference to hardship and that it is blood-soaked pavement, I guess they have never been to Deal's Gap. The whole spirit of the team is just gone, all the characters felt so boring to me when usually I absolutely love reading about them.D. in political science from the University of California at Davis, specializing in international relations and comparative politics. Little does he know that the explosion he just narrowly escaped was merely the latest flash of violence from a machine of war that has existed for decades, dating from the bloodiest episode in Armenia’s history. There's nothing particularly memorable about the villains, and I've come to realize nothing is ever going to change for the Oregon crew. I got up to 200 pages and just quit because I wasn't interested in the story because I knew what was going to happen. Usually I'll be fine with reading a bad book if I like the characters but not even the Corporation could save this book this time.

Now, I don't know about you, but when I read the blurb of this book and saw a member of the Corporation was going to die, my attention was caught.The team is left without a choice but to track the deadly fentanyl-laced meth from Mexico to its unknown destination in Europe. The name Hellburner occurs twice near the end and is not integral to the storyline, but it makes for a good title. When I read the book and found out that Reyes was going on the mission to kill the drug lord, I was really disappointed.

The Oregon seems nigh on invincible at this point, being equipped with a rail gun, Gatling guns, missiles, EMP cannons, super drones, NSA level audio and visual surveillance, and so many other bells and whistles that I can't see anything being a threat to them at this point.

in Clive Cussler's Oregon Files series, written by Mike Maden, and I can say with all honesty, he did justice to this book! At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. The final climactic scene was ridiculous, the books in the past have always made the characters more capable than the average human being, however this time it was so far in left field they felt more like superhero's than people. I've lost count of the times I read about Murph's heavy metal music tastes, Linda's hair color changes, Max's weight battles, Gomez's good looks, Juan's Casablanca inspired cabin and railroad safe.
