Clive Cussler......

This is one of my favorite authors. Very adventure oriented! He writes several different series with well loved characters. This one is his Oregon Files series. "Plague Ship" was an exceptional read. There was a cult like faction wanting to end over population by means of voluntary sterilization. Unbeknownst to the world they had taken it to the extreme with the discovery of a virus that could infect a person's reproductive organs and leave half the world's population sterile. The main characters are a band of mercenary types who work for the good of the world at a high price and they roam the world on what looks to be an old tanker. The tanker is just a cover for a modern electronic state of art command center that sails the seas and does what is necessary to help mankind. This time their mission was voluntary when they happened across a Cruise ship that had all it's passengers killed by a virus. With their research they discovered the truth about the cult and the necessity of ending their quest. Lots of close calls that keep you glued to the page.

A former client and now a client again gave me tons of classic books today. She's getting ready to move from her beautiful Victorian home to a small townhouse in Eastern PA. Lucky for me she didn't want to take the books with her. I kept some but have a box for my son and one for my daughter. It should be a nice addition to all our libraries.
