The Tombs

A Fargo Adventure, Book 4

By: Clive Cussler, Thomas Perry

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are stuck between a vicious businessman and clumsy amateur treasure hunters in the race to find the famed burial site of Attila the Hun in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

When an archeologist friend requests their help to excavate a top-secret historical site, the Fargos are intrigued. But they have no idea that their discoveries will set them on a hunt for a prize beyond all imagination.

The clues point to the hidden tomb of Attila the Hun, who was reportedly buried with a vast fortune of gold, jewels, and plunder: a bounty that has never been found.

As they follow a trail throughout Europe, it leads them not to one tomb, but five. The Fargos also find themselves pitted against a thieving group of treasure hunters, a cunning Russian businessman, and a ruthless Hungarian who claims direct descent from Attila himself—and will stop at nothing to achieve his destiny…

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

This is my 3rd listen in 2 days! I didn't listen in order as stories had different co-authors. I love what they bring to these adventures. Never boring. The dialogue is great in this one. Remy is even better in this one as co-author knows how to bring out her wit.
Love Zoltan, woof

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

Well, Mr Brick is always great. His eastern European accents are so great and consistent, you feel like you are right there in the city having coffee with them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I love the opening scenes in this book as in the other 2 I have tried. They set up the adventure and make you want to gear up and join them.

Any additional comments?

If you love a fun adventure that adds culture, travel, and a fast pace, enjoy these stories.

A page turner of the finest action

Really great storyline of the first detail a globe trotting treasure hunt with archaeology a history lesson and intrigue.

Clive does it again

Enjoyable escapism and a quite different plot. I again marvel at the research that must have been used to develop the conjecture that makes up Cussler's many plots. I like the way that the author seemingly supports capitalist archaeology and at the same time stresses the desire to maintain the need to preserve the antiquities for the public to see and learn from.

not disappointed

Would you listen to The Tombs again? Why?

in the future , sure, worth hearing again

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

yes , moved along, and I could always depend on C.C. to bail them out when all looks nearly hopeless

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

one of the very best of the best, we are one of Scott Bricks fans, he seem to be getting better and better,( a cast of hundreds)

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

for sure if I could, my wife and I would stay in the car to listen for the end of the chapter

Any additional comments?
