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.… (plus d'informations)

  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
Sam y Remi Fargo participan en una excavación arqueológica altamente secreta donde realizan un hallazgo que les llevará a perseguir un tesoro de valor inestimable. Las pistas les conducen hasta la tumba escondida de Atila el Huno, quien fue enterrado con una gran fortuna en oro y joyas. Pero este sitio arqueológico milenario ha sido saqueado y nunca se ha recuperado el botín.
En busca del tesoro perdido, viajarán a Hungría, Italia, Francia, Rusia y Kazajistán, y descubrirán otras cinco tumbas históricas profanadas.
El matrimonio Fargo se verá envuelto en una trama criminal en la que aparecen codiciosos cazadores de tesoros, un estafador ruso que se hace pasar por un refinado hombre de negocios y un húngaro despiadado que afirma ser descendiente directo de Atila y que no se frenará ante nada ni nadie para conseguir apropiarse de los tesoros del gran rey de los hunos.

These aren't "great literature" but they are fun and I enjoy the audiobooks. This is the fourth adventure for Sam and Remi Fargo, the multimillion dollar amateur treasure hunting couple. One of their friends, a professor from Germany has found something spectacular in a field. It's a perfectly preserved battlefield filled with dead huns. Little does the professor know though, that he s being watched. When he is kidnapped they fear that he was on to something greater, Atilla the Hun's burial and treasure chamber. It quickly becomes a fast paced action adventure novel that has the Fargos racing across the European and Russian continent to find the treasure before some other unsavory types do. Entertaining - I will continue to read the series. ( )

Not at all pleased. It seemed to me to be too easy for all the action and the characters were all static. this was my first Fargo adventure and I don't know if I'll try the others very soon. ( )

This stand-alone international action/adventure novel is part of the Fargo Adventure series. Like the vast majority of Clive Cussler's books, it has historical undertones, but the setting is contemporary.

Sam and Remi Fargo are a husband and wife team with a peculiar hobby. They happen to be treasure hunters... but not the typical sense of the term, because it isn't for monetary gain, as they already happen to be rich. They like to recover artifacts of great historical value, and donate such findings to museums to preserve them for future generations. When a friend discovers a vast amount of the bodies of Hun warriors from about 450 AD, he enlists the Fargos' help in excavating. In doing so, a vital clue is discovered... a clue that may lead them to the fabled tomb of Attila the Hun, and the vast treasures that he was supposedly buried with. But Sam and Remi soon realize that they aren't the only ones who want the treasure. There are others on the hunt as well, who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

I enjoyed this book greatly. The history incorporated within and the geography of the many places the Fargos visit in this book were skillfully researched, and were laid out in a way that enthralled the reader rather than boring them. Clive Cussler and Thomas Perry are geniuses of the writing world. The only slight complaint was that it left a small question unanswered (Where do Consolidated Enterprises fit in, and how did they keep finding the Fargos?), but it tied up all of the other loose ends nicely, and that question may be answered in the next book in the series, so it will not effect my rating or overall opinion. Five stars. ( )
