Oregon Files series Book #12
4.5★
Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon sail into a perfect storm of danger when they try to stop a new world war. Hired to search for a collection of paintings worth half a billion dollars, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon soon find themselves in much deeper waters. The vicious leader of a Filipino insurgency is not only using them to finance his attacks, he has stumbled upon one of the most lethal secrets of World War II: a Japanese-developed drug, designed, but never used, to turn soldiers into super-warriors. To stop him, the Oregon must not only take on the rebel commander, but a South African mercenary intent on getting his own hands on the drug, a massive swarm of torpedo drones targeting the U.S. Navy, an approaching mega-storm, and, just possibly, a war that could envelop the entire Asian continent.There are two things a reader is always guaranteed when picking up an Oregon Files book...excitement and an excellent, and entertaining read. [Typhoon Fury offers both of these elements in spades. The way Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon go after their mission like a force of nature itself. The bad guys are numerous...sometimes almost too numerous...and at one point there are actually three factions vying for "Typhoon". Although at times it seems the story is off balance...just hang in there reader and go along for the ride. You diffidently won't be sorry.
