Another winner from Cussler's Oregon Files [Posted on 2008-02-28]
Skeleton Coast is the second of Cussler's Oregon Files novels I've read, and while not as strong as Golden Buddha, it still delivers.
Skeleton Coast brings the reader back to Africa (setting for Sahara) and a rich background against which Cussler paints his tale of greed, hatred, and eco-terrorism.
Like his other Oregon Files novels, Skeleton Coast doesn't wallow in long, man-against-nature episodes, but instead moves the action from one setting to another across a huge variety of settings, plots, and characters. Cussler generally keeps the juggling act in tact, but it is clear that he's cutting corners and starts to drop a few plates by the end.
Not to worry, the finale wraps everything up in a neat tidy bundle with a devastating finish to the villains that you won't soon forget.
Best Oregon File Yet [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I have read all of the Oregon Files and this is by far the best one yet. Although they explain plenty in the first three novels the main character is truly brought to life in this latest adventure. The authors get into gritty details as to why Jaun Cabrillo is the way he is and make him as close to home as his counter part, Dirk Pitt. If you are a Clive Cussler fan or just want a good read I reccomend this book!
Skelton Coast-Great Book [Posted on 2008-04-29]
Skelton Coast was an excellent book. This is the type of writting that made Clive Cussler one of my favorite authors.
Not disappointed [Posted on 2008-06-09]
The plot moves quickly, keeping interest from beginning to end. I've been a Cussler reader for a very long time now and I wasn't disappointed.
Skeleton Crew [Posted on 2008-07-07]
Like all his books, it is very hard to put down once you start to read it.
There is nothing like a good fast past book full of adventure for reading.
I an now just starting to reread his Dirk Pitt novels again and they are great this time as they were the first time I read them.
