GOLDEN BUDDHA (OREGON FILES #1) BY CLIVE CUSSLER Is the first in the Oregon Files Series or could it be the second? We were introduced to the ship and crew of the Oregon in a Dirk Pitt novel so I guess in reality its the first in the series but the second time we have met the Oregon and her crew.
The crew must steal the Golden Buddha, a very valuable and very big golden statue that originally was given as a gift to the Dalai Lama but stolen and secreted away . The Oregon crew must , not only steal the statue but MUST do it on Good Friday. They must then get it to the Dalai Lama by Easter when the Dalai Lama is scheduled to return to his homeland of Tibet. In doing this, they not only steal the statue but kidnap, lie, and drug multiple persons, including the Chief of the Macao police and very nearly start a war between China and Russia.
Its a very complicated plot of a story but the humor mixed into it makes THE GOLDEN BUDDHA one of Mr.Cussler's more entertainingly funny stories out there & a pleasure to read and reread over and over!
