    About this audiobook

    Juan Cabrillo and his CIA-backed Oregon crew must beat opposing factions to a meteorite that could end the conflict between America and the Middle East in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

    Two embattled groups seek a 50,000-year-old meteorite first discovered and then hidden by Eric the Red and his Vikings. Known as the Sacred Stone, it has powerful radioative properties. Muslim extremists have stolen a nuclear device and need the stone to give them the power to vaporize any city in the west. A megalomaniacal industrialist leads a group seeking to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself. And caught between the two militant factions is Juan Cabrillo and his crew, who must do whatever they can to stop the impending doom...

      enjoyed the fast-paced action of this story,but I was amused at the fact that Eric The Red needed two men to lift the meteorite when it was first discovered. Centuries later,the Corporation and their enemies juggled the stone as if it were a pizza: one person handling it with no difficulty whenever and wherever it was moved during the adventure; up hills,into and out of helicopters,trains,cars,etc. Try lifting a 100 pound,bowling-ball-sized, smooth-sided sphere. I can only conclude that all of the characters in this book,with the exception of Eric the Red's men, had exceptional strength.

      I gave Golden Buddha, the first book in this series, a fairly good review. Unfortunately, I cannot do the same for Sacred Stone. Everything that was enjoyable about Golden Buddha was absent. Instead, the book reads more like a logistics textbook, with the main characters placing their subordinates around like a chess match. In fact, many of the action sequences in the book are simply glossed over so that the others can return to the tedium of logistics (let's put this helicopter over there, and this boat here...). If the next book in the series (if there is one) is not a significant improvement, then the series is dead. Note: The next book in the series was co-written with Jack Du Brul (an author whose books I've really enjoyed) instead of Craig Dirgo.

      What a fast-paced page-turner. It's starting out in Greenland in a earlier time. Back in our time the plot is taking the reader from Greenland to Scotland further down to England and finally to the Arabian Peninsula. The corporation team needs all twist and angle to solve the requested problems but it wouldn't be a real Cussler when his protagonists wouldn't be able to rescue the world.

      Book Description Clive Cussler debuted his new series, The Oregon Files, with the incredible adventure of Golden Buddha. Now he follows that triumph with Sacred Stone, a rollicking new tale featuring the enigmatic captain of The Oregon, Juan Cabrillo. In the remote wastes of Greenland, an ancient artifact possessing catastrophic radioactive power is unearthed. But the astounding find puts the world at risk. Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his network of spies known as The Corporation must fight to protect the stone-and prevent the outbreak of World War III.

      My Review This is the 2nd book in the Oregon Files and was a very enjoyable read. It is easier to follow the plot and more interesting than the first book, The Golden Buddha. The only problem I had with this book was that some of the incidents seemed a bit unrealistic. Even with this problem, I would have to say that the book still is a great adventure read. The characters are unique and the plot is exciting. I will definitely continue with this series and look forward to reading the next installment.

      I'm a pretty big fan of Cussler, I own all of his books, most in 1st Edition Hardcovers, but this one definitely let the standards slip, it's certainly not in the league of the NUMA or Dirk Pitt books. It left me wondering about the level of Cussler's involvement in the writing of this book and how much was his co-author as not only was it lacking the usual suspense & depth ending virtually every chapter with "little did he know that ...." was tiring.
    • 3/5
      The Oregon Files is a series reminiscent of the A-Team. Good guys win, bad guys lose, just how it 'should' be. Entertaining and fun to listen to when driving. Not sure if I could actually read a book though. This one a billionaire goes psycho over the death of his son and creates a plan to single-handedly deal a crippling blow the Islamic religion. Possibly killing millions. The Corporation by chance happens to get caught up in the middle and do what they can to save the day.
    • 1/5
      This is one of the worst books I've ever read. I don't say that lightly. There are plenty of books which I've abandoned because I didn't get on with them, because they aren't the sort of books I like, or because I didn't connect with the characters.The reason I say this book is so bad is because the plotting is so lazy. More than once the author uses the device, "little did he know that..." in order to introduce a plot point so the rest of the book makes sense.

      Tweede deel uit een serie van elf boeken in de Dossier: Oregon serie.

      Dit boek is nogal verwarrend, en zeker niet een van Cussler's beste werken.

      De Oregon is een state-of-the-art oorlogsschip vermomd als een oude stoomboot. Niemand zou ooit denk dat het bemand is door voormalige militaire en special forces agenten, die bekend staan als The Corporation, onder leiding van Captain Juan Cabrillo.

      Een meteoriet land na een miljoenen jaren durende toch op Aarde en wordt in het 1000 door Eric de Rode in Groenland ontdekt. Hij laat twee mannen achter om de meteoriet te bewaken en gaat zelf terug naar zijn dorp om er werklui op te halen. Deze mensen worden allemaal ziek door de radio-activiteit.
      Duizend jaar later wordt het herontdekt door een archeoloog, waarop een race tussen twee groepen terroristen ontstaat, die de meteoriet willen gebruiken voor aanslagen. Een daarvan is een radicale islamitische geestelijke die de meteoriet wil gebruiken, om samen met een gestolen kernbom Londen te vernietigen.
      De andere is een miljardair die de meteoriet wil gebruiken om de islam te vernietigen. De bemanning van de Oregon moet beide tragedies voorkomen.

      Dit boek is gevuld met non-stop actie en er zou een geweldige film van te maken kunnen zijn.
