The crew of the Oregon have so much to do in this story that they are frequently split into two or even three separate teams. The foes are bigger and more ancient and the stakes are more global than ever. There's arguably too much going on for a single book. I couldn't put it down until the last crisis was averted. ( )

The historical anchor involved nine scrolls of knowledge spread across different keepers because of the danger of too much knowledge in one place. The modern plot involved the Corporation against an evil mastermind and a biological computer set to turn the world back to the Dark Ages. ( )

Shadow Tyrants is an excellent adventure that begins in the beginning of the book and goes clear through the end. It is non-stop adventure. There is a mysterious group of 9 unnamed men who are fighting each other for world domination. Obviously the author knows a lot about weapons and boats. Shadow Tyrants is highly recommended and fully deserves its five star rating here. Enjoy! ( )

I really do like Cussler's formula: Begins with an early event and then the story begins in present day involving the event that happened centuries ago. In this story there is a group known as the 9 who can trace their descendants to the original 9. This group have a secret meeting place called The Library. Their plan is to shut down the world by shutting down the internet. But there is a division in the 9 and Juan and the corporation find themselves in the middle of the disagreement. ( )
