Clive Cussler's Fire Strike

Product Information

Another story line is our following of the lead doctor ventured into the jungle to locate a friend of hers to deliver pharmaceuticals to her project involving native people. Hoping to help a fellow former agent find her son at his boss’s request, the plot slowly takes us through a grand conspiracy, hoping to start a war with the US by firing a hypersonic missile at an aircraft carrier in the Gulf. He gets beaten badly, has some broken ribs as well as other bruised bones and tissue, but ends up leading a mission. When Cabrillo is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot.

Although Clive Cussler's novels were pretty generic, they were plotted out well, with almost every situation being necessary to the plot.

I've enjoyed reading the series to this point, but unfortunately, I'll have to discontinue the series is just "high-stakes action" all the time. Cabrillo’s crew have met their most fearsome adversaries yet: a force of bio-hacked soldiers endowed with extreme strength and stamina and an unquenchable appetite for violence. I enjoyed the blending of current technological levels with advanced theories and advanced levels of technology to extrapolate how things might turn out if such technology was more prevalent today. It is always hard to "develop" an existing character or team of characters in a series of books because they still have to remain true to their core identities so that the readers do not lose interest in them; in addition, there are so many different authors in the books that it can become difficult to keep track of true character development in prior novels. While CRISPR has been in the news for a while, this was the first book I've read that uses it as part of the story.

It was sad to read about the damage done to the port as I can only assume numerous innocent civilians and military personnel going about their normal business were killed, but it was still a cool moment.When Juan Cabrillo, captain of the Oregon , is hired to extract an undercover operative in Kenya, he finds himself on the trail of a deadly international plot.
