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.
