Husband-and-wife treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo run afoul of a dictator who uses false facts about Aztec history to further his claim to power in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series. While scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo come upon a relic belonging to a long-lost Confederate ship. An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery—but unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico’s ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artifact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly. Through Tanzania and Zanzibar, into the rainforests of Madagascar, and across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia and the legendary site of the 1883 Krakatoa explosion, the Fargos and their ruthless opponents pursue the hunt—but only one can win. And the penalty for failure is death.

"I'm enjoying these "Fargo" books on audio as I drive. They are technologically up to date (which many of the Clive Cussler books are not) and feature and husband and wife team. They are written well enough that it took me well into the second book to realize that Sam, the husband, is the abslute viewpoint character and that we only see Remy, his wife, through his eyes. Still, they are well written and well-researched with a good historical (if slightly outre) background. I'm enjoying them and have already retrieved the third (and last) book from the library."

" Not sure what I think about the Fargo couple. They just don't seem realistic even for a fictional adventure story. And this story gets really bogged down trying to unravel the mystery thru ancient symbols. It's as if the author is more showing off his knowledge rather than easing the reader to clarity. It's an interesting story, but slogs to a tedious crawl several times as we go over the class instruction on symbology. also... what a convoluted story about the movement of the ship in question. hands-down, I more enjoy the Dirk Pitt and Juan Cabrillo stories. "
— Jackie, 2/18/2014" A good read that is relaxing and great as a holiday read. "
— Joanna, 2/15/2014" Another fun read from the Fargo Adventure series. I hope that Clive Cussler keeps this series going and I hope there's a film one day following their adventures. I can see a National Treasure-ish type plot along these lines. "
— Nemesis2me, 2/15/2014" Characters Sam and Remi Fargo take Clive Cussler's adventurous style into a National Treasure style travel hunt. Frankly, these books are just fun and different enough from Clive's other adventures to make them a great read. "
— Mark, 1/30/2014" So far, I like this book more than the first book in the Fargo series. I find Civil War privateers and Aztecs more interesting than Napoleon's wine cellar. "
— Jeff, 1/26/2014" Cussler is one of my escape fiction authors. Almost always learn some interesting trivia. "
— Deb, 1/23/2014" Is getting a bit sick of Cussler's egotistical helpful, story hinging cameos along with down to earth millionaires breaking into evil millionaires mansions. Is this not a re hash of the first, only 1/3 of way in. Bring bak Dirk Pitt..... "
— Leece, 1/18/2014" Fun reading, a little involved in the anthropological references, but all in all, as many have said, he is fun, esy and fast reading. "
