Title: Cussler's first stinker
Review: Sacred Stone is the seventh Clive Cussler novel I've read and the third in his Oregon Files series and I can say without qualification, it's a stinker!Though based on an interesting premise, the author cheats often and shamelessly, asking the reader to ignore obvious plot holes and suspend belief in even the most basic of assumptions.I found myself preferring a quick game of FreeCell to finishing this snoozer. Too bad. I've had such a great time reading Cussler so far.Between managing 3 fiction series, his non-fiction works, movies, and NUMA, Cussler has spread himself too thin. At least Sacred Stone is forgettable!
