origin book for Oregon Files, Oregon Files the Beginning

[tastg82]

I am new to the forum and was wondering, I have read Oregon Files up to and am currently on Corsair. What book actually introduced Oregon Files?

Welcome aboard

It was the Pitt adventure Flood Tide

[Perlmutter Twin]

The first book in the series was "Golden Bhudda". But, as Mostly siad, the characters, ship, etc., were first used in "Flood Tide" which was a Dirk/Al story. It's in Flood Tide where Juan loses his leg.

Thanks for the response and the heads up. I am about half way through Silent Sea, then will go to The Jungle which will finish my read through the Oregon files. After that I wanted someplace to go so I figured I would go back to the beginning...

and on that note< I just read golden bhudda myself and it is one of the best books of Dr c's period IMHO

I am also done now reading them all in original language except one, i read "Plagueship" in german translation, and it was just AWFUL!!!! Never, ever, please, dear friends, read a Cussler- book translates to another language, it`s messing the whole thing up terribly!
"Plagueship" was my first Cussler- book, after this i was interested to read more, and in ENGLISH, and that was the best decision i ever made about those books.
