Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:The husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team of Sam and Remi Fargo return in a new adventure as they search for an ancient scroll�??which carries a deadly curse�??in this thrilling addition to Clive Cussler's bestselling series. In 533 A.D., the last Vandal ruler in North Africa consults an oracle on how to defeat the invading Byzantine army. The oracle tells the king that a high priestess cast a curse upon the Vandal Kingdom after a sacred scroll was stolen. In order to lift the curse, the scroll must be returned to its rightful home.

I love how he always writes himself into the story.
So much fun. Love the series (

Is this series amazing... not really - but it keeps me entertained and I'll be damned if I don't finish it. The Oracle is the 11th installment of the Fargo Adventure series and follow Sam and Remi Fargo as they follow up on some funding inconsistencies at an archaeological site they are funding in Tunisia. As if that wasn't enough of a headache one of the supply trucks headed out to a girls school (that they also fund) is missing in transit. Is something nefarious going on? Not as much about treasure hunting as there other books, but it was still exciting. I really liked Nasha, a young stowaway that wins over the hearts of the Fargos and their friends. Implausible as always but a fast listen. (

I must admit that I was disappointed in this book. I thought that it lacked a lot of the excitement of previous Cussler books. It also seemed to jump around quite a bit without a lot of character development. I could tell who the bad guy was from the beginning, so there wasn't a lot of suspense. (

There's very little story about treasure hunting/Vandal King scroll - just the last 50 or so pages. Disappointed. Much of the book was devoted to school for girls in Nigeria and kidnapping. The bad guy isn't really a surprise, think readers can easily figure that one. I like interesting proverb in each chapter:
No matter how good you are to a goat, it will still eat your yam. - Nigerian proverb (

Sam and Remi Fargo, wealthy treasure hunters and philanthropists, are in Nigeria checking on a girl's school which they sponsor. In Nigeria, the Boca Haram, a terrorist group, are known for kidnapping girls and destroying schools for girls. The Fargos also intend to visit an archeological site in Tunisia where someone has been messing with the accounts for the dig. Plus, one of the archeologists is found dead and an important mosaic was stolen. While in Nigeria, the school is attacked. Remi and some of the girls escape their kidnappers. Sam goes looking for his wife and the missing girls. Lots of action and intrigue in this latest adventure. Although, there wasn't as much archeological intrigue, as in past books. It was a solid entry into the Fargo series, but not the best. (
