The crew of the Oregon has just completed a top secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf, when they come across a cruise ship adrift in the sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and as ship captain Cabrillo tries to determine what happened, explosions rack the length of the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner's sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himself plunged into a mystery as intricate--and as perilous--as any he has ever known, and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for the human race . . . plans he may already be too late to stop.--From publisher description.… (mere)

Felt longer than some of his others. This one involved a terrorist group trying to save the world from over-population. ( )

A bordo del buque Oregón, Cabrillo y su equipo de élite investigan una posible venta de submarinos rusos al gobierno iraní, cuando se topan con un crucero estadounidense. Todos sus ocupantes, miembros de una secta que propugna la limitación de la reproducción humana para contrarrestar la superpoblación, han muerto de forma rápida y violenta. Cabrillo parte hacia Filipinas en busca del líder de la secta, un ex nazi que ha urdido un plan diabólico para exterminar a media humanidad.

This was part of a cruise ship's library. *snort* not a bad omen or anything. Also the book was pretty good, kind of weird. Cussler writes really long books. ( )

The fifth book in the Oregon Files series finds Captain Juan Cabrillo and his high tech crew boarding a cruise ship called the Golden Dawn. Their reconnaissance has indicated the entire crew and all the passenger, except one, have been killed by some sort of hemorrhagic virus. The ship had been leased by a group known as the Responsivists. This group publicly promotes population control and they are secretly planning to use a virus to kill and sterilize most of the population. The crew of the Oregon need to piece together all the information they can before the virus is released on the rest of the world.

For readers not familiar with the Oregon, it's a high tech, state of the art ship, disguised as a rusty old trawler. It's captained by Juan Cabrillo, chairman of the Corporation, a group of freelance operatives who take on undercover jobs for a number of US agencies, as well as private clients.

This is an action packed novel that also incorporates a lot of detailed information about ships and weapons. It's not necessarily great literature but it does keep you interested, especially if you have read any of the other books in the series. These books can easily be read as standalone, because the authors always provide a lot of backstory during the book. I'm looking forward to continuing this series with the next book, Corsair. ( )

Arguably the greatest transfer of wealth in human history occured when the Plague swept through Europe and killed a third of its population. Lands were consolidated, allowing for a greater standard of living, not only for the owners but also for those who worked them. This event was the single greatest contribution to the Renaissance and gave rise to Europe's eventual domination of the world. -- We're Breeding Ourselves to Death: How Overpopulation Will Destroy Civilization by Dr. Lydell Cooper, Raptor Press, 1977
