Publisher Description
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).

"Always entertaining. Clive Cussler never fails to bring smiles, gasps of terror, and just a very good time! I listen in the car on my commute and find Scott Brick to be an excellent reader. On CDs, the reader is so important. The Fargos are great. They are intelligent. There isn't any "mushy stuff" between them, though I love the repartee. I find myself smiling. Indiana Jones has nothing on these folks. They encounter bad guys and they are always victorious. It's fun to hear how they get out of their situations. Ingenious."

— Jeff, 1/6/2014 -
" The latest Fargo Adventure novel by Cussler. This story has Sam and Remi globetrotting in search of Shargi-La, said to be found in the mountains of Southeast Asia, near Tibet/Nepal/China. Lots of action, good characters, a quick read. "
— Doug, 1/4/2014 -
" Do yourself and everyone else who loves books a favor. If you see this book anywhere, set it on fire. "
— Brett, 12/23/2013 -
" I've come to enjoy the Fargo adventures even more than the Dirk Pitt yarns. This is the best one so far. A pure pot boiler with no redeeming value - just the thing for summer reading. "
— Rob, 11/9/2013 -
" Surprisingly, this was the first book in the series so far that I wasn't crazy. It was just okay. I felt like it was a dragging in some places and was becoming a little predictable. I don't really like to give negative reviews about books. Hopefully the next one will be better "
— Jill, 6/27/2013 -
" Rather average for Cussler, but the setting was new and different. "
— Sheilla, 6/13/2013 -
" The first half of the story is great, action, adventure, suspense.. In the second half it goes downhill, suddenly finding the hunted things is all too easy.. The book should be twice as long, I'd like to have more of the the reasoning described and more adventure! "
— Jess, 4/16/2013 -

" It was another good adventure read by the Clive Cussler machine. "
— Bill, 12/16/2012 -
" Good read....took me about two weeks reading here and there when I had time. Good fast paced adventure book although the plot is fairly simple, predictable, and shallow. "

— Jeff, 8/22/2011 -
" Another fun adventure book with the Fargo couple. I hope he can keep this series going strong because I really enjoy the dynamics of the duo. They are the perfect couple and makes reading this really enjoyable and light hearted. I look forward to seeing what kind of trouble finds them next. "
— Nemesis2me, 6/27/2011 -

— Anotherkevin, 6/23/2011 -
" The best so far in this series! "
