This adventure for Juan Cabrillo and his skillful crew - I found rather hard to follow.

Clive Cussler, author of the bestselling National Underwater and Marine Agency and Dirk Pitt series, created his most intriguing high seas action hero: the enigmatic captain of the Oregon, Juan Cabrillo who was introduced with the first Oregon Files series Golden Buddha in 2003.

I appreciate the books about the Oregon as there are multiple characters all with different quirks. I could have done wi Leggi tutto
