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).

Critic reviews

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

Excellent story. Enjoy while you walk and be taken away to far away lands. Great ending that makes you wonder.

Another winner.

A little long in the tooth and kind of repetitive scenarios but still another great treasure-hunting mystery with the Fargos. And stellar narration by Scott Brick. Don't know about the validity of the accents, but to keep that many different ones for that many characters is a feat!! Great, plausible adventure story. Happy Reading!

The Kingdom

I could recommend this, exciting story, lifelike great narrator Scott Brick. My only let down was the shooting of a truck radiator rather than it's tires. It's always shoot the tires isn't it?? Who shoots a radiator?

Narration

Scott Brick is the best. Listen to 100's of Audible books. Many times when I finish series. look for a Scott Brick narrated book.
Also. like the length of the books. 8-12 hours are my favorite

Great listen

Almost as good as Spartan Gold. I enjoy the Fargo's and this in another entertaining read.

The Fargo's Soar to Shangri-La

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

Absolutely. The team of Cussler and Blackwood write an excellent story. The quality of these stories continue to improve and entertain. These books are feel good tales where the good guys win in the end. I am a sucker for these stories and enjoy them all.
.
In this book the husband-wife team of treasure hunters are duped into hunting for an old friend. During that hunt they discover clues to an ancient treasure. The team hunts down all the clues; solves an ancient mystery; travel through Nepal, China,and eastern Europe, discover the whereabouts of their old friend; and reveal the origin of mankind.
.
Just another routine "day" in the lives of the Fargo's.
.
Just another excellent book to enjoy and remember. And come back to another day.
.
Keep up the great work Scott Brick. You can make reading the phone book enjoyable.

A fun read as usual by Cussler

I've been a long time listener of Clive Cussler too. From Dirk and Al, Isaac Bell, Juan's crew, Kurt and Joe and now Sam and Remi. Its a wonderful book, a great summer read. Scott Brick is the man! Nobody reads a book like Scott. Towards the end of this book it seems like Cussler could have written so much more about the adventure, but I just didnt want it to end. Bravo to Cussler and all his ghost writers and their stories. However, at then end of the book I would love it if Cussler sepearted fact from fiction, like Steve Berry does. Do these places in the book exist and did some of these treasures exist.
Enjoy

Great Adventure as usual!

I love the Sam and Remi Fargo books! A tantalizing mix of ancient mysterious legends, high adventure, and campy love story. The good guys always win, yet I still come back for more. The narrator is excellent as well, flawlessly depicting accents of varied languages.

wonderful adventure

I loved this book. so far I have loved all of the Fargo adventures. I loved the twists and turns and the great detail of the places they go.

Another great read by Clive Cussler

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was well-written, and was also well-read by an excellent narrator. I would highly recommend it.
