The Kingdom

A Fargo Adventure

By: Clive Cussler, Grant Blackwood

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins

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).

Listen to another far-flung Fargo Adventure.

Critic reviews

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

Evolution?

Excellent tale except for the fact that it centers around and let's lie an evolutionary "missing link".

Great fun.

Entertaining as usual. I do wish they'd remember that guy whose name begins with C.

Love the Fargos!!

I really have grown to love these books. Cussler does such a great job with developing strong characters, and the Fargos are among his best. Love the adventurous spirits, and the never say die attitude. Just great writing. The narration by Brick adds to the enjoyment. Great series!

Cussler does it again!!

Another amazing book in the Fargo series!! Well written and fast paced... couldn't stop listening until the end.

Excellent Adventure

This was another great book by Cussler. The audio was well do e and I would find myself sitting I. the car after I got home and listening to the story, not wanting to go inside.

Another great book by Clive Cussler

I absolutely enjoy any book by Clive Cussler, at first I was hesitant about this series but having read or listened to all the books in his other series, the Fargoes have reeled me in and I'm hooked, and I also enjoy Scott Brick's narrating he helps to keep the listener engaged.

Clive at his best!

What made the experience of listening to The Kingdom the most enjoyable?

Cussler's patented action comes alive on audio.

What did you like best about this story?

As with most of Cussler's books, I liked the international flavor and make believe history.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
