About this audiobook

The thrilling new adeventure from the #1 New York Times- bestselling author.

Clive Cussler's tales of the Oregon and its crew-"the clever, indefatigable Juan Cabrillo and his merry band of tough, tech-savvy fighting men and women" (Publishers Weekly)-have made fans of hundreds of thousands of readers. But the Oregon's sixth adventure is its most remark­able one yet.

On December 7, 1941, five brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington State make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbor. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, stumbles upon a shocking revelation of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition-and a curse that seems to have survived for more than five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death.

    Lots of action...at times a little too much. Sometimes hard to follow unless the listen is concentrated. didn't enjoy the writing as much but it was still a really good book.Who wrote this?. Cussler or was it really DuBrul? The issue du jour is commercial rights to Antarctica. Apparently Cussler/DeBrul believe it should be maintained pristine as the good guys win in the end....you expected another outcome?

    On December 7, 1941, five brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an exciting discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbor. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him first to that small island and its secret, and then much further back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not...the only reward is death.The Silent Sea continues the great tradition of Clive Cussler's fast-paced action reads. I love his characters as they all feel like real people. They have all become like friends to me and have a lot to do with me continuing to read the Oregon Files. Although some of the technical stuff is hard for me to follow, the humor and adventure is worth the read. There is always great geography and history lessons in every one of his novels. This one goes from Argentina to Washington State to Antarctica. I look forward to reading the next installment of the Oregon Files and highly recommend these books to those who love adventure.

    this was a pretty good book. i'm a fan of his van dorne detective series and thought i'd try one of these too. i wasn't as happy with it and didn't enjoy the writting as much but it was still a really good book. it may be because i'm used to the other and the story was really interesting and cool. takes place for the most part in the arctic, which i love.

    What does a treasure pit in Washington, a blimp in Argentina and a sunken Chinese junk in Antarctica have in common? That is the mystery Clive Cussler solves for us in the action packed adventure.While not my all time favorite of the Cussler novels I've read, it's still an entertaining read and just what Cussler fans desire. Since the characters were introduced to me in a previous novel, this one offered the comfort of familiarity and was as much fun as I expected it would be. It also didn't slip into the 'made-for-TV, unstoppable super hero and bad guy' stereotype. I have to thank the writers for that.Good read.

    Clive Cussler books, to me, are "fun reads." They rarely require thought and they exist in my little world to balance out the other stuff in my library. They are also, quite often, light on character development.

    THE SILENT SEA, however, was the first of the many Cussler books I have read that included deeper characters and deeper drama. The ending of the book could have been much better, though, and those deeper moments could have been fleshed out much more than they were.

    I picked up this hardcover at my local library's book sale last June thinking it was an ocean adventure story. Despite the fact that it turned out to be something else, it was still an enjoyable escapist read if you don't mind some unrealistic scenarios.

    “Good thing they shot you in the head, otherwise they could have hit something important”In this seventh of the Oregon Files thrillers, Juan Cabrillo and his team move from the Argentine border, past a few islands and on to Antarctica in their range of assignments from clearing up a NASA snafu to protecting sovereignty of oil fields and finding a medieval Chinese wreckage.I always find Cussler's novels enjoyable (see my reviews of The Navigator and Plague Ship) and this was no different. This plot was stronger than Plague Ship because it is a little darker – a crew member dies and the ending is rather sombre. The action also remains on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean rather than having the crew flying all around the world on hunches.I do like the Oregon team – Cussler has crafted a clever and cohesive team where the characters play off one another well. Juan is a great leader – strong, a little enigmatic, prone to maverick moments of following his own interests rather than doing what would be best for the crew. Man Hanley works well as his sidekick – prone to worrying, happy to be Juan’s subordinate but still a leader to the rest of the crew. Mark Murphy and the rest of them all are developed piecemeal over the series but are each easily separated in the reader’s mind.The cold open was also well done - it is unusual to have a group of children as the scene setting team, rather than warring tribes.Standard Cussler fare – plenty of fun.

    This was another enjoyable read from Mr. Cussler or was it really Jack DuBrul. One never knows with a co-authored book. In any event all of these c-authored books tell a good story, somewhat beyond reallity, and are filled with lots of action.

    Venezuala, and China conspire to take over Antarctica while the US is unable to move because of it's massive debt to China. Only the crew of the Oregon stand in the way. A really nice read where the action flows well.
