Publisher's summary

Sam and Remi Fargo return for the thrilling third adventure in the acclaimed new series. In Spartan Gold and Lost Empire, Clive Cussler brought readers into the world of husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo, whose passion and instinct for treasure-hunting has led to extraordinary discoveries - and perilous journeys. Their next adventure, however, might be their most astonishing yet.

The Fargos are used to hunting for treasure, not people. But then a Texas oil baron contacts them with a personal plea: an investigator friend of the Fargos' was on a mission to find the oil baron's missing father - and now the investigator is missing, too. Would Sam and Remi be willing to look for them both? Though something about the situation doesn't quite add up, the Fargos agree to go on the search. What they find will be beyond anything they could have imagined.

On a journey that will take them to Tibet, Nepal, Bulgaria, India, and China, the Fargos will find themselves embroiled with black-market fossils, a centuries-old puzzle chest, the ancient Tibetan kingdom of Mustang, a balloon aircraft from a century before its time... and a skeleton that could turn the history of human evolution on its head.

Packed with the endless imagination and breathtaking suspense that are his hallmarks, The Kingdom once again proves that Clive Cussler is "just about the best storyteller in the business" (New York Post).

Critic reviews

“Action-packed…an enjoyable thrill ride of a summer read." (Library Journal)

Excellent

Excellent. The Fargo Adventures are fun, very interesting, fast paced, did I say exciting, and I get every one that comes out. Highly recommend aS very good read

Sensacional

I always enjoy the attention to detail the C. Cussler puts into these books and the historical center of it all. I am enamored by the Fargo couple and huge fans.

Great Read!

As usual, Clive Cussler turns out a fun reading book; easy to listen to and drive!

A bit more effeminate, but classic cussler

Classic cussler, keeps you enthralled throughout. SAM & Remi are in love, and love treasure hunting. And hate bad guys and gals

Great story

Very well written and suspenseful to the end. Great research. No loose ends left to imagine.

good book

I usually don't leave reviews but this was such a good book !!! it really is truly worth your time to download and listen to!!

Cussler and Blackwood keep the Fargos going.

Another intriguing story with the Fargos sent off to help a friend and then find themselves having another life changing adventure. The story is mostly set in Nepal but travels into Asia and the surrounding areas. So for people who don't like books that take them away from the US then Cussler is not your author. Cussler makes an appearance as he has in the last several books giving advice to steer the story back on course or in the direction best suited to complete a task. I, again, would recommend the Fargo Adventures to any fan of Cussler and fans of the action adventure genre.

Another great story from Cussler

As always, a compelling story from beginning to end. Definitely better to listen to them in order.

The Kingdom
