Cussler is backâyet again. For those readers who are still counting, this is his thirty-sixth book (some were cowritten with other authors). This is the fifth novel involving the spy ship Oregon and what Cussler labels "a highly unorthodox captain and crew." The vessel is loaded with complex weapons and intelligence-gathering equipment. It's back from a secret mission against Iran when it spots a cruise ship adrift in the water. Its deck is littered with hundreds of bodies, and then it explodes. There are more than 500 pages of intrigue and action, and, as usual, the good guys defeat the bad guys in the end. It's a 600,000-copy first printing, so librarians should be prepared.

Cussler and coauthor Du Brul (Skeleton Coast ) lurch through Cussler's latest high-tech fantasy, dropping dozens of subplots into a blender and printing the result. The chief threat? Bad guys intent on sterilizinghalf the world use a trendy zero population/family planning group as cover. Into the breach steps Juan Cabrillo, his supership Oregon , and his loyal cast of special-ops wizards. Did I mention Noah's Ark? So does Cussler. Readers will ask for him by name, so buy accordingly.

In the dependably entertaining if less than top-notch fifth Oregon Files thriller from bestseller Cussler and Du Brul (after Skeleton Crew ), Capt. Juan Cabrillo, who heads the Corporation, a covert military company for hire, and the multifaceted crew of the Oregon , a high-tech ship disguised to look like a tramp steamer, take on a group known as the Responsivists. The Responsivists publicly espouse a program of global population control, but are secretly planning a devastating attack on the human race utilizing a virulent virus found aboard an ancient ship that may be Noah's Ark. The authors are up to their usual high standards when in fighting mode, though the chief villain, the doctor who heads the Responsivists, falls short of Juan's billing as "the single-most-evil human being I have ever met." Readers may wish that next time out the bad guys put up more of a struggle. (June)
