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.

Excellent Book

The story was great. I loved the bits of history. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Best book ever

I have read many C.C. books, and most of the alternate protagonists novels that bear his name. But this book was so far above and beyond the others that I believe this book deserves my accolade of best c.c. book ever! Five out of five. You must read this book.

The Tombs - Nice Adventure

The story was good to very good. It kept my interest since it is based on historical subject which I fancy. It has a nice historical reconstruction I like as well. Some of the actions are bit stretch but not outlandish. I like the geographic and cultural backdrops. It could be made into a movie as well. I glad I listen it and would listen / read another in the series. I do not think I would read this novel again. It was not that good.

The performance by Mr. Brick was very good. I forgot it was a male imitating a female voice.

Another Cussler book

If you could sum up The Tombs in three words, what would they be?

Very entertaining

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

The master as always.

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

Fascinating.

Any additional comments?

Unlike the formula writers Cussler is able to create a story line and twist that continually entertain and puzzle me.

good book

good book, parts a strech. all and all a good listen reccomend it to fans.

Non Stop Action and…

A great story too. Scott Brick’s narration is always on point. I now know a lot more about Attila the Hun and the times he lived in. The story sent me to the library for some research. Love books that spark my curiosity and interest.

Great Entertaining Read

Clive Cussler does it again. From the first page of the book, the reader’s attention is grabbed and kept throughout the book. Although unbelievable, Clive Cussler entertains the reader with an action packed adventure of Sam and Remi Fargo, taking them from one continent to another as they try to find the treasures of Attila the Hun. I found this book to be an entertaining read that kept my attention throughout all 384 pages. I would definitely recommend it.

My first audio book

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

I liked that the speaker used different voices to distinguish the different characters.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was a typical Clive Cussler. I have always been a fan of his so I wasn't disappointed with this one. There was a little bit of mystery, action, and suspense.

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

No

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

No. I generally don't have the time to listen to a book in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I have to admit that as an avid reader, I had a bit of difficulty concentrating on a book that was being read TO me. I'm used to being the one reading the book. When I usually read, I can sit down and concentrate on the story. With an audio book, I tend to want to do other things and end up missing some of the story if I'm concentrating on a different task. That's not to say that the concept isn't a good one. I think if I got used to it, I wouldn't mind having a book read to me on occasion.

Fast paced and intriguing

If you could sum up The Tombs in three words, what would they be?

Action, Suspense, Mystery

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

Scott Brick is one of my favorite narrators. He does an incredible job pulling one into the story.
