Publisher's summary

Sam and Remi Fargo, heroes of Spartan Gold, return in this extraordinary new adventure from the number-one New York Times- bestselling author. With Spartan Gold, a daring thriller that Publishers Weekly proclaimed "solidly in the Cussler tradition, [and] sure to please new fans and old," Clive Cussler introduced husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo. In their electrifying new adventure, the Fargos make a startling discovery that others would kill to keep hidden....

While scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo come upon a relic belonging to a long-lost Confederate ship. An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery-but unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico's ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artifact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly.

Through Tanzania and Zanzibar, into the rainforests of Madagascar, and across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia and the legendary site of the 1883 Krakatoa explosion, the Fargos and their ruthless opponents pursue the hunt-but only one can win. And the penalty for failure is death.

Filled with the dazzling suspense and breathtaking action that are Cussler's trademarks, Lost Empire is a stunning new novel from the grand master of adventure.

lost in another time

story moves right along captivating you. never wanted to stop listening. but this was my treat while driving. i woll definitely get more on this series

Great action story

This was as much fun as Sat. Afternoon movies we use to go to as kids.

Disappointing

This isn't Cussler's best work. The meandering plot at times gets lost in the historical details, interesting as they are. Sam and Remi are just too "precious" for my taste. Scott Brick has cleaned up a lot of his narrating flaws and does a good job.

Overall, the book was a bit boring.

great read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I ceertianly would recommend this book to a friend. It is action packed and full of fun.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed scott's voices and the way he made characters come to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

After gettting into the book my wife and i could not seem to turn it off intill the conclusion.

Give the Fargo's 4 weeks...

Give the Fargo's 4 weeks and they can do wonders. Give them 24 hours and who knows.

Great adventure. Listen to it and find out. Read very well by Scott Brick.

great book

Scott Brick is great, great storyline and filled with amazing recounts of history. Very Entertaining!!

Adventure at its best.

Loved it! I love Sam and Remi and their belief in one another. Thick and thin their thick as thieves.

Interesting but too many near escaped

The Fargors luck should have run out
Interesting history but slow going better as a book than audio

Just ok. Enjoyed Spartan gold better!

Scott Brick once again does a great job. The story on the other hands gets a little lost somewhere in the middle. I found myself getting lost amongst all the historical details and descriptions. Not bad by any means but not his best either!

Hooked on the Fargos!

Just finished my 2nd Fargo couple novel and I'm hooked! Adventure, wit, and solid writing! Next up! Yes, please!
