Publisher's summary

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.

could have if I had the time

another great Fargo Adventure

Would you listen to The Tombs again? Why?

Possibley, it was a great story, but I don't usually read books twice unless they are really great or part of a series. This was a fun interesting read.

I really like the Fargos, they are some of my favorite characters.

Scott Brick is one of my favorite narrators, I always look forward to any book he narrates

no

Any additional comments?

This was a great fast moving thriller. Its a great ride, like all of Cusslers novels of whom I am a big fan.

Exciting not always belivable

Keeps you moving on walks, makes the time fly and gets you out when walking is not what you want to do. The Fargo's almost reach the status of super heros.

good read.

always enjoy a Fargo story. you'll learn a lot about Still a the Hun history.

Love the Fargos

What did you love best about The Tombs?

I love that Clive Cussler has a whole new series of books with a great cast. Just like his other series the Fargo's are an easy read and you wish you could be apart of their team to go on these great adventures

What did you like best about this story?

the history

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

liked his voice, very easy to listen to

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!

Great storyline and narration.

I learned about Cussler a year ago and have so much to catch up on. He is a great author.
