I thought it was really fun, fast paced and exciting. Something about the writing was a little off for me as I have read every single one of Clive Cussler’s books while he was alive. Good, though!

Marauder

I thoroughly enjoyed Marauder by Clive Cussler. Juan Cabrillo and his mates travel the seas in the new Oregon. There are thrilling land and sea battles taking place, but their foes tend to be one step ahead of them in their quest to unleash a biological agent over Australia. Can the team succeed in disrupting this event? A real edge-of-your-seat thriller.

Might be time to think about ending this series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2022

I'm conflicted after just completing Marauder, the fifteenth entry in the Oregon Files. It's an enjoyable read, this time featuring the Oregon crew battling a husband a wife team who plan to unleash a biological terrorist attack on Australia as part of a grander plan. Its everything you'd expect from a Cussler novel: chase scenes, sea battles, and the good guys inevitably triumphing.

As much as I enjoy these books, I'm somewhat disappointed in Marauder. The previous book, The Final Option, ended with the sinking of the Oregon, and if that didn't end the series, it was at least a chance to really do something new and different with these great characters. Sadly it doesn't happen. They just build a new Oregon and carry on like nothing happened! Except now it's an even more unstoppable ship with a rail gun, laser defenses, drones, fancy VR glasses that allow the crew to pretty much see through walls, etc.. At this point its hard for me to believe that anything could ever threaten the Oregon crew.

The problem is nothing really ever changes in the Oregon world. Sure there's been a couple of minor character deaths, and their replacements have been welcome additions to add something fresh, but the characters themselves never change. In the last book Linda Ross suffered trauma that resulted in her going deaf - that would have been interesting if it was permanent to see how it affected her and the dynamic among the crew, but nope, she's back to normal here. In this one - slight spoiler ahead - one of the Oregon crew is paralyzed from the neck down by a nerve agent. Again a great opportunity to change things up. Would he be able to function in wheelchair? How would it affect him mentally? Would the Oregon be able to accommodate him? We'll never know because by the end of this he's running around like nothing happened.

Maybe I'm just burnt out on the Oregon because I've been reading this series constantly the last few months, but its all feeling a little dull to me at this point. The characters never change either physically or mentally. Max and Kevin are always going to be overweight. Gomez and MacD are always going to be handsome. Eric and Mark are always going to be geeks.

As much as I love this series, I think it needs to end soon if this is the way it's going to continue. I'll try the next one and hope for something a little different.

Another solid entry in this awesome series, keeping fingers crossed it's not the last...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is entry number 15 in the Oregon Files series, released after the sad loss of Clive Cussler at the start of the year.
Following the adventures of the Oregon, a deceptively near-derelict tramp steamer with more than a few secrets, designed and run by her intelligent and unassumingly heroic captain Juan Cabrillo and his expert crew, as a for-profit Corporation, guided by Cabrillo's moral compass, these books never fail to impress and thrill.
The Oregon and her crew were first introduced as a 'guest appearance' in a Dirk Pitt adventure Flood Tide. It's not necessary to read that book as a 'prequel' to the series but it does give the first hand account of an important bit of background, in particular for Cabrillo, and showcases the Oregon and her team in action.
I'd personally advise starting from book 4 Skeleton Coast (or perhaps 3), onwards and then reading the preceeding books once you ve fallen in love with the Oregon and her team. The first two books in the series proper, Golden Buddha and Sacred Stone, are ok and worth reading, but get a little weighed down by logistics. They are definitely not representative of the series as a whole so please bear that in mind if starting with those two books. In my opinion the series begins to hit it's beat from books 3 and 4, Death Watch and in particular Skeleton Coast onwards (and it's here I start rereading from!), when the supporting cast gets trimmed a little, the main cast gets fleshed out and becomes 'family' and the series accelerates away from everything else I 've ever read!!!
The set pieces in this series are spectacular, in particular anything and everything involving the Oregon in action, missions that throw the team a curveball, and of course Cabrillo's infamous Plan Cs (sorry Max!). And I never grow tired of the ships inspectors' and harbour pilots' take on the vessel (and even here Cussler throws in an additional surprise in one of the books).
Stereotypes get thrown out of the window; experience and tenacity balance increased age, training and skill balance gender disadvantages, the geeks can still handle themselves in a fight on and off ship, and having a handicap doesn't mean being handicapped. Also, leading man Cabrillo shows a maturity dealing with the opposite sex that Pitt never manages, which actually makes him hotter/a better role model (depending on the reader's inclinations!)
The plots move at a breathtaking pace and are generally less political and more plausible than the Pitt plots, and occasionally an established team member is lost, and others get injured and need time to recover, physically or mentally, keeping the sense of danger real.
The tech is cutting edge and well researched, the Oregon's capabilities never cease to amaze (and continue to be updated and improved!) and the various shipboard and underwater sequences bring all of the attention to detail you'd expect from Mr Cussler's expertise and background.
Marauder is a very solid 15th entry in this series. Following the incredible book 14, Final Option, which still leaves me breathless on a reread, Marauder picks up as you d expect, and does a very good job of doing 'what it needs to do' (if you've read Final Option you'll understand!) There are some supercool additions to the Oregon's capabilities but the plot doesn't get hung up on these, in fact they are balanced by the urgency with which the Oregon has to leave drydock, so I was either left rereading a paragraph and murmuring oh that's new/clever/awesome or sharing Cabrillo's frustrations when something goes offline or the paint gets scratched.
Marauder is the only new title in this series that I haven't read at breakneck speed. And that is purely because it's (currently) the last book in this brilliant series and I've no idea if Mr Cussler's estate will continue the series (I truly hope that they do, there are a lot more nautical miles left!!!) So I really didn't want it to end. And yet, in a way, it actually doesn't end regardless of what the future holds....
Based on the warmth of his writing I 've no doubt Mr Cussler is greatly missed by his family and I am sorry for their loss.
His writing will most definitely be missed by fans of adventure such as myself.

Oregon on shallow water.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have read all the Oregon books. Indeed, I am a great fan of Clive Cussler. However, whilst reading Marauder I felt that it was rather lacking in the colour, depth and richness of the earlier Oregon novels. I imagine that Clive had very little to do with the writing of this book.

It contains simple short sentances to describe things that in earlier books would have used a paragraph or two, and thereby created the feeling of actually being there. In earlier books the descriptions were so complete, detailed and powerfull, you could actually see the scene in full UHD, smell the air, experience the emotions, and feel involved.

This book has large print, numerous tiny chapters and is thin on detail.
A fairly good tale, but seemed a little shallow and rushed.
A shame.

Yet another cracking yarn

If you want a cracking yarn, look no further than a tale by Clive Cussler!

This is book #15 in the "Oregon Files" and is well up to par. Totally unbelievable but impossible to put down, the new Oregan hasn't completed her sea trials before she's in the thick of the action. Largely set in Australia, our usual crew have to deal with a couple of dastardly chinese business people. Their plan is for an almighty disaster during the Sydney new year celebrations.
A thoroughly enjoyable read - no complaints!

I never tire of these amazing stories, whether it be Dirk Pitt, Kurt Austin, Juan Cabrillo and crew of the Oregon, or the Fargos or Oscar Bell, all wonderful adventures. I was so sad to learn of Clive Cussler's death on 24th February 2020. I hope his son Dirk will continue to write about these characters especially the Oregon Files. Long may we have these seafaring adventures to look forward to. My sincere condolences to Clive's family, he will be missed by many.
