Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the covert combat ship Oregon have barely escaped a mission on the Congo River when they intercept a mayday from a defenseless boat under fire off the African coast. Still smarting from a weapons-trade gone bad and a double-cross, Cabrillo takes action. He manages to save the beautiful Sloane Macintyre, who's on a mission of her own, looking for a long-submerged ship that may hold a fortune in diamonds. But what surprises Cabrillo is her story about a crazy fisherman who claims to have been attacked on the open sea by giant metal snakes in the same area.
What begins as a snake hunt leads Cabrillo onto the trail of a far more lethal quarry—a deranged militant and his followers who plan to unleash the devastating power of nature itself against all who oppose them.

Juan Cabrillo is off the coast of Africa with the crew of the OREGON, a high-tech undercover combat ship for hire, when he becomes entangled with beautiful Sloane Macintyre. With their combined resources and determination they seek a lost fortune in stolen diamonds. The treasure's dark history is matched by the fanaticism of an influential environmental terrorist. Narrator Scott Brick is well suited for this testosterone-laced tale of tough guys. His voice projects barely restrained intensity, like a street-fighter looking for any excuse to start throwing punches. Unfortunately, Brick's British and African accents are not as strong as his solid narration of the main characters. N.M.C. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine -

Kudos to the unnamed editor who trimmed SKELETON COAST down to a slim six CDs without losing the flavor of the material. And congrats to reader Jason Culp for breathing life into the story of the poor man's Indiana Jones. The novel features not Dirk Pitt, but the team of Juan Cabrillo and Sloane Macintyre as they search for a fortune in stolen raw diamonds lost in the Kalahari in 1896. Culp lends credibility to the characters and the Saturday afternoon movie serial of a story. If you like Cussler's previous work, you won't be disappointed. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
