Clive Cussler's Fire Strike

Product Information

A former British Royal Navy/Chief steward on The Oregon but I always knew there was more to Maurice than meets the eye.

Yes, its all luck and significant amounts of danger but at the end of the day we feel safe in knowing that our favorite crew will triumph again.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. This is one of those novels where you are thrown into a character's situation for a chapter, and then you are thrown into another character's situation in the next chapter. Although Clive Cussler's novels were pretty generic, they were plotted out well, with almost every situation being necessary to the plot.

I loved that he was able to use the shotgun shell in the heal of his boot to help him win a later fight. Maden has served as a political consultant and campaign manager in state and national elections, and hosted his own local weekly radio show. In this book, we get the intro chapter of the book to discover some of Maurice's earlier military history before he retired from the British Navy and joined Juan Cabrillo's crew. Juan Cabrillo and his gang, the Corporation on their super-ship, the Oregon are back at adventures again. The author, Mike Maden did a very good job in writing this novel in the true style of the deceased Cussler.

The characters feel developed out and we worry for them, even when we sense that they are in danger. 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.
