SkinnerAbout a third of the way through this book, I started wanting to stick my finger down my throat..kept wanting to tell "Sam" and "Remi" to "get a room"...adventures, yes, reality no...wandering trough a maze of tunnels, at night in the rain for hours, and they find their way out using her "sense of direction and hearing"...urrrrggg...although this is the first "Fargo" adventure I've tried, I doubt seriously that I'll try another...have read all of the Dirk Pitt, Oregon Files, Numa Files (Kurt Austin), and finally ran out of titles, so thought I'd try a "Fargo" book...I can deal with fantasy, impossible escapes, and intrigue, but this was too much...I'll finish the book just to see if it gets better, but can't read more than a couple of chapters without stopping...which is generally NOT true of the others...Cussler tried too hard on this one and failed...even to the point of including himself (ala Dirk Pitt books), but it was so obvious that it was going to be him, I actually laughed...1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A new direction, still plenty of Cussler theatricsBy Brian WalshI'm a big fan of Cussler books. This series is a different direction than most of his other series. What's different?- It's a husband and wife team and not a government backed team or organization.- The villains are not bent on ruling/destroying the world. It's much less grandiose.- It focuses so much on the treasure hunting. Cussler's other series had bits of history and treasure thrown in, but as a sidestory. Now it's THE story.- There's a back-story to the main characters, but basically, it entertains a question everyone in the world asks themselves at one point: What would you do if money was not an issue?What's the same?- It's a page-turner and a great story. Firefights! Explosions! Exploration! Ancient Ruins! Treasure! Bad guys! Travel!- The characters have fairly predictable personalities and are not too deeply developed, but developed enough to make a connection.- It's a great book to have for a long trip where you want some entertainment and don't want to work to hard to get into the story.- This particular story has everything thrown in from Persians and Spartans (duh), to Napoleon and Nazis. Oh, there's also a particularly psychotic villain who has a lot of money and also wants the treasure. BOOM! The story is born and the action begins.This book will be fun for everyone to read. If you're already a fan of Cussler books, this will be just as good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Clive Has it Going OnBy Danny WrightGreat read. I will be following Remi and Sam through the series. I like that Hart to Hart style of interaction between husband and wife. Clive has a fan in me. -Daniel Lance Wright, AuthorAnnie's World 2: New BeginningsAnnie's World 2: New Beginnings
