I finished Clive Cussler's "Corsair." I've been reading his many adventures since the 90's and have read them all. I thoroughly enjoy the totally unbelievable adventures of his characters and what they get into. This one was no different. All are based on the ocean but this one took a side trip in the desert. They all start with a little historical event that in the end is solved. This one was filled with terrorism plots and an adventure in the Mid East that kept me turning the pages. His characters have more lives than "Carter's Little Liver Pills." This adventure series was about the Oregon Files which is an old freighter ship that sails under the Iranian flag as a cover. The freighter is disguised to look like it is on it's last leg but really is a state of the art sea vessel. The crew is called upon to do what other government agencies aren't capable of doing. In this case they have to verify whether the US Secretary of State has been killed in a plane crash or has been kidnapped by terrorists. They have to rescue prisoners of war with a few archaeologists thrown in to the mix. And to top it off, they have to find the second most famous terrorist of our time. All in a days work for the crew of the Oregon. Fun read!
Enjoying some time off with hubby. Rare that we get two days off at the same time and time is going quickly.
