OK, I confess - I am only on page 27 of this book, but I have given it 4 stars because I love the page turning adventures of Cussler's preposterous heroes. HOWEVER, surely as sucessful as this author is, he can afford to hire a decent editor - or at the very least, a competent proofreader.
On page 25, we are introduced to a pert gal with jet-black hair which "swept passed her shoulders in thick waves." HUH? Then, as the hero walked down the hall, "she fell in beside with him." Which ?? fell in with or fell in beside? Make up your mind for Heaven's sake.
As I said, I have only reached page 27 where I find that our hero has remodeled his ship's cabin and "The doors were modified so they were arched. Additional arched partisans were added, giving the seven-hundred-square-foot cabin a cozy feeling" Freedom fighters doing backbends?? Still trying to picture the arched partisans.
I can only soldier on wondering what wonders of misspelling, misused words and grammatical error await me!Get more detail about The Silent Sea (The Oregon Files).
