Description
Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon crew's search for missing NASA technology leads to a globe-trotting adventure in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.
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.
Reviews
The Silent Sea
5By SkooboiduaIt has been a long time since I have read a book. I have been enjoying Clive Cussler's books as audio books for some time. I purchased this book intending it to be audio but made a mistake that has turned into a huge enjoyment. The "Silent Sea" has brought me back to the enjoyment of reading. I could hardly turn off my iPad to do anything because I couldn't wait to read the next suspenseful page. I highly recommend this and all of Clive Cussler's books. And I encourage reading!A Ripping Yarn!
4By YoungplayerWhile Cussler may not be a great author in the literary sense, his greatness resides in his ability to come up with scenarios that are intriguing and believable. His descriptions of dramatic action are taut and exciting enough to overcome any stylistic deficiencies most of the time, including this story. A very entertaining and satisfying read!The silent sea

4By OrdwayLeeI have followed Clive from Rase the Titanic way before the ship was found. This is great forget your problems reading. I wish I had meet Him before he found the civil war submarine the Hunley. I can feel the pages come to life and wash away my modern day problems. Lee Starnes USCG Ret.Great read
5By ReagandogI recommend this book to all. It's a great read.Pleasant surprise
4By RagnouomoTook me a bit to get into it, but once I did it was very engaging. From the title I figured it was a sub book, but was pleasantly surprised to find an entirely different plot. I'd recommend this to anyone that likes military thrillers.Creative
4By Tex in TexasGreat book and creative. I recently started reading this series of Juan Cabrillo books and found it interesting and this one no less thrilling. I look forward to more of this series.The Silent Sea
3By emalenVery easy reading and addictive. The geographical, physical, historical and political descriptions need a great more research. A lot of mistaken information regarding Argentina.Great read
4By Keith jrAnother great book by Cussler. Good followup series to the Pitt novels with the same great storytelling.Tyoical Great Cussler Story
4By RobbbyvaThis is the first Cussler book I have read in some time. He follows his winning format and ties up several story lines together. We all know the outcome but it is always a good read,Great Read
5By iPhoneCzarMy first book on an iPad. Really helped pass a very long travel day. I'm really impressed with how easy it was to read on plane in cent seat between two others. Being able to just turn the pages with a touch at the margin really works well. By all means play with the font and size to find what works best for you. Reading from the illuminated screen was easy on the eyes in the poor light of the aircraft.Typical Cussler with good characters and plot is new and fresh
4By Aotearoa.KiwiA typical Clive Cussler novel with good character development from prior series. I liked the added development of the plot out of North America to Antarctica. Also, a great reminder of why we probably do not want to try and 'harvest' resources from this cold, desolate and beautiful continent. The iPad format allowed me to save energy and not disturb my wife with it's built-in 'night light.'The Silent Sea - great action adventure
5By Pirate on GadsdenMy first book on an iPad. I have a hard time putting down a good action/spy novel and this was no exception.
