Typhoon Fury

I have to admit up front I am a huge fan of Clive Cussler ,that being said,I had a hard time putting this latest
Book in the Oregon series down.
As usual the story was well written,and moved along at a
Good pace,and it is believable,as the tech in the book is most likely within reachable range.
I would purchase this without a second of hesitation.I also
Appreciate the way he weaves other books he has written into the story lines.bad news now we have to wait for the next book to be written. hopefully sooner rather than later.

A very good ‘escape read’ . It seems quite plausible that a “SUPERDRUG” was developed during World War 2 by the Japanese, in case of a invasion of Japan, that was covered up by the U.S. Cussler’s novels are more enjoyable when the basis of the story is believable. This novel is from the “Oregon Files”, personally I enjoy “Oregon Files” more than Cussler’s other heroes except possibly Isaac Bell. The Oregon must prevent the superdrug from reaching the Philippine people. In doing so they must fight a drug Lord whose army is almost indestructible. The Oregon must deploy almost all of their hi-tech weaponry, which is very exciting. Typically, the Oregon always has a plan, which never works out and they must go to a backup plan which also fails, so they find themselves utilizing the third option, which is usually very amazing. This novel has all the elements of a excellent “Oregon Files” story and keeps the reader wanting more. If you enjoy “Oregon Files” stories then this novel is a must read. If the reader isn’t accustomed to the Oregon then this is a novel well worthwhile reading.

Cussler and Morrison have produced yet another boilerplate thriller. The Cussler formula is still there but the originality and chemistry is lacking. Early on in the Oregon Files series, the main characters, Cabrillo et al were at least individuals, with their own personalities and quirks. Now, Morrison has made them little more than cardboard cut outs, uttering stock phrases and getting out of impossible situations. I can only hope that this changes quickly otherwise it will be time for the Corporation and the Oregon to sail into the sunset.

It’s an OK read. Not up to the usual excellence from Cussler and his co-authors on the Oregon Files series. I was bored, plot was predictable. At the beginning I was confused as to where in the heck the story line was going. Began in so many different settings, I kept wondering how the author(s) were going to tie this story up in a pretty bow to be able to end the book. I really finished reading this book out of my loyalty to Cussler. Even my 95 year old mother didn’t like it. She felt the same as I, however she stopped reading it half way through….

I love the Oregon Files! This book among them. However, once I got to page 322, the next page was 291. What the…?? Somehow pages 291 thru 322 got repeated. So I flipped forward again thru the second round of pages 291-322 and wouldn’t you know, after the 2nd page 322 the next page is 355!! Grrr!! Which means I’m missing pages 323-354 because the publisher decided to put 291-322 in the book twice!! Now what to do?? This is the climactic part of the book, the last three quarters, and I can’t very well just go from page 322 to page 355 and miss 30 pages of building climax!! This s u c k s!! Just be aware folks. This is the paperback. Pics included in this post.
