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 intrigued when an archaeologist friend requests their help excavating a top secret historical site. What they find will set them on a hunt for a prize greater than they could ever imagine. The clues point to the hidden tomb of Attila the Hun, the High King who was reportedly buried with a vast fortune of gold and jewels and plunder....a bounty that has never been found. As they follow the trail through Hungary, Italy, France, Russia, and Kazakhstan - a trail that they discover leads them not to one tomb, but five - the Fargos will find themselves pitted against a thieving group of amateur treasure hunters, a cunning Russian businessman, and a ruthless Hungarian who claims direct descent from Attila himself...and will stop at nothing to claim the tombs' riches as his own.

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?

buy it , Cussler and Perry did their home work for the historical facts, I allways learn something

best one yet

great story add ending! nonstop action throughout the book. easy to listen to as well.

Best Fargo book so far!

I have enjoyed the history and excitement of these books in the series thoroughly!

Great

Lots of action. This may be one of Cussler's best Fargo books. I hated for my trip home to end each day because I wanted to keep listening.

Fun and Entertaining Adventure!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Tombs to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version

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

Yes, I loved the plot. It kept me interested and it moved fast!

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

No, but I liked this performance - his accents were good.

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

I listened to the first half on a long car ride - and I didn't get bored once! I kept finding other ways to listen to the rest of it (chores or walks). I'm rather picky about books keeping my interest and I buy audible books on a very regular basis. This book was a great choice and well -worth my monthly credit!

Any additional comments?

Great story, loved the many different locations of the story - it made me feel like I was on this great adventure! Great action and suspense!

Scott Brick is a great storyteller

I love Scott's reading / storytelling style. He's very engaging and connected with the action and emotion

Love This Series! Love the Fargos!

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

"You Had Me At Hello!" I've loved these two characters since the very first book. With that being said this book to me is the weakest of the series so far. There were only two times during the story that there really seemed to the kind of trouble and solutions that I have found the Fargos so good at finding their way out.I did really enjoy the two sub-characters. I have a dear friend that is just like one of those character and I always find it amazing. What ever you need he always know somebody or knows somebody who knows somebody.I do love the authors style even though I was a tad disappointed.....but only a tad. I can't wait for the next one!!!.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was predictable and I expected the twist on twist but then I'm always thinking ahead in a Cussler book.

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

OMG! Have I listen to Scott Brick!!! He is one of my very favorite narrators. His male and female voices flow easily and he has the perfect timbre for this type of story! I do think the thriller/adventure is his best genre. You Rock Scott!!!

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

I did almost listen to this book in one sitting! I saved it up for a twelve hour drive I had. I have to make this drive once a year and I always save a Cussler book for that drive. Time just seems to fly.

Any additional comments?

I have never found a Cussler series I didn't like!
