Dark Watch
Dark Watch - Jack Du Brul,Clive Cussler This is the 3rd book of the Oregon Files series by Clive Cussler. With this book, he has changed his co-author from Craig Dirgo to Jack duBrul. While the first two books were good, this one was so much better. The writing style was stronger, the plot had more tension and there was significantly more character development (yea!). Those who have read the first two books and gave up, I urge you to give the series another try.

I rated the first 2 books 4 each as they were fun, easy reads that kept my interest throughout in one of my preferred genres - despite rather anticlimactic endings. This one is well on its way to being 4.25 to 4.5 (assuming we could give partial stars) as it was a much more enjoyable read due to the improvements mentioned above.

Book Summary from GR: Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a very comfortable and very dangerous living working for high-powered Western interests. But their newest clients have come from the Far East to ask for Cabrillo's special brand of assistance: a consortium of Japanese shipping magnates whose fortunes are being threatened by brutal pirates trolling the waters of Southeast Asia.

Normally, such attacks on the high seas are limited to smaller ships and foreign-owned yachts-easy targets on the open ocean. Now, however, giant commercial freighters are disappearing. But when Cabrillo confronts the enemy, he learns that the pirates' predations hide a deadly international conspiracy-a scheme of death and slavery that Juan Cabrillo is going to blow out of the water.

Hellraiser: The Dark Watch Vol. 1
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: The Dark Watch Vol. 1 - Clive Barker,Brandon Seifert,Tom Garcia

This was part of a Humble Bundle some time ago and that's basically why I picked it up even though I was completely unfamiliar with the Hellraiser franchise.

 

At the beginning it was very confusing since I didn't know who everyone was and what was happening, however I was able to immediately see it was a very interesting story. I certainly wanted to know more about it. It has been said that it brings quite a few changes to the existing Hellraiser universe, about which I'm not able to judge of course, but either way I liked it a lot. I found this to be one of the most engaging graphic novels I've read to date.

Gets better and better...
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: The Dark Watch Vol. 2 - Clive Barker,Tom Garcia,Brandon Seifert,Korkut Oztekin

As more hells get added, and more ways for this to get horrific.   But the relationships between the characters, and the world they inhabit, also get more complex, and this just compounds the horror they're all met with in this volume. 

 

I can't believe that ending.   Must track down volume three.

Nooooo!

 

It can't be over!

 

Although the art gallery at the end is lovely, man, that is one hell of a cliffhanger!
