Another super entry in the Oregon Files series. I have really enjoyed the last several of these novels about the exploits of the crew of the Oregon. This one takes place less on the sea and has a lot of action in the jungles of Argentina, the Antarctic, and trying to find the secret of a "Treasure Pit" on an island off the coast of Washington. This part of the novel was quite intriguing but it reminded me a lot of another great actioner - Riptide by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Riptide was about another treasure pit or water pit supposedly constructed by pirates to contain hidden treasure. Not sure if Cussler/Du Brul borrowed the idea from this earlier novel. Anyway, "Silent Sea" was a page-turner as usual, and I would highly recommend it.
