Publisher Description
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 really love Clive Cusslers sytle of writing and stroytelling! A fast, mystery/educational read! Another good one by Cussler that led me to google many interesting new subjects I want to learn about - Aztecs/Madagascar... "

" This the first Fargo Adventure story that I have read. It is very good. It good to have new charactors in the stories. "
— Charlie, 5/19/2011 -
" 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, 5/13/2011 -
" 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. "

" More fun and adventure from Cussler. Love the way he takes us all over the world in his adventures with husband and wife, Sam and Remi Fargo. This adventure takes us back to the origins of the Aztecs and the Civil War. "

" I love Clive Cussler novels, but this isn't one of my favorites...just couldn't get into the Fargo characters. The book did follow the same outline that most of his other books did, but I prefer Pitt or some of the other characters. "
— Stephanie, 4/21/2011 -
" Book was alright, but the Fargo's aren't my favorite series that Cussler's associated with. "
— Bradley, 4/12/2011 -
" 2nd book in this series: it was very enjoyable. A "National Treasure" type story. "
— Sheldon, 4/9/2011 -
" Great plot, action and suspense. The rightly written script provides excitement and fun right through the end. There are no 'anti climatic' ends unlike some of his other best sellers but otherwise decent book. "
— Anandh, 3/27/2011 -
" OK - but have read better<br/> "
— Rick, 3/20/2011 -
" Not bad, just not as good as some of Cussler's other work. "
— Bryan, 3/19/2011 -
" Unfortunately the Abridge version was a little to simplistic... I bet the unabrdige version has a lot more facts and adventure, which is what I enjyoed on the first book of the series... "
