review 1: very interesting read. A little different from the previous works. More action and also the book includes a most interesting idea where a supercomputer takes over the world. Interesting how the supercomputer has a conscience and decides that what is being done is not good for the world. Just wonder what would happen if the supercomputer didn't have a conscience and did whatever it was asked to do. Nevertheless, I think this was quite good since it didn't follow the usual plot as part of the this series.
review 2: The Jungle, by Clive Cussler and co-written by Jack Du Brul is one of the Oregon Files series, a spin-off of the NUMA tales.This novel was quite different than other Cussler novels in that it wasn’t one continuous flow of ‘edge-of-your-seat’ acti... moreon and was void of most of the technical details that had become, for me, an constant irritant.Juan Cabrillo, a mainstay of the NUMA series, is running the Oregon, a highly technical and cutting edge vessel disguised as a tramp steamer, operating as an independent troubleshooter that works at the edges of legality and carries on chores governments can’t been seen as being a part of.On a mission to save the daughter of a rich man, who has disappeared in one of the least visited on most treacherous jungles in the world, Juan entanglers his crew in a world-wide conspiracy by a Muslim terrorist who has learned how to control the world with a quantum computer.The characters are well drawn, except I feel the main bad guy’s character, Bahar, is rather shallow and plays only a small part in the tale.This was an enjoyable read for me, very different, yet somewhat the same as all of Cussler’s other novels. Perhaps the greatest difference was that it was believable, where so many of Cussler’s novels stretch the imagination beyond breaking.For Cussler fans, this should be a welcome change from the norm. less
