review 1: “The Jungle” begins with a history lesson as all Cussler books do. This one is set in eastern China 1281 A.D. it reveals the battle tactics of General Khenbish, who is in the employ of the great Khan. We learn the history of the three tents that precede each battle and see the first use of laser and dynamite on a battlefield. We observed the obliteration of walled village because it dared to defy the Khan. It is the independent observer who accompanies the General that is the surprise at the end of the opening chapter. The book leaps to the present in the next chapter.This is a book in the Oregon files series. Juan Cabrillo and his team aboard the Oregon have been dumped by the U.S. Government when a new president takes office. They find themselves trying to sti... morer up business to stay afloat. A woman disappears on a hike in the jungles of Northern Thailand. Her father hires Cabrillo and team to stage a rescue. In this book we are introduced to new crew member. The new team member is captured and a sinister villain reveals a devastating weapon.This is an action adventure book with lots of unrealistic action, lots of suspense with a bit of history tossed in. The book makes a good break from heavier reading. I read this as an audio book downloaded from Audible. Jason Culp narrated the book.
review 2: Another good one from the Oregon Files. As always, a bunch of unrelated events come together in one big plot. The Corporation is hired to save a child taken to Afghanistan as a jihadi. On that mission, they save a United Statesian. Turns out the rescue mission was set up to get the United Statesian into the ranks of the Corporation so he could give details on their movements. All this was done to get Juan and company out of the way while the person who hired them to save their son from Afghanistan plans world domination via a quantum computer. Oh yeah, there's also the mission to get the crystals from a temple in Burma that help to run the computer. A lot going on here. Good fun with a very quick ending. less
