The Tombs: A Fargo Adventure (A Sam and Remi Fargo Adventure)

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. From Booklist It could be the switch in coauthors (veteran mystery writer Perry takes over for Grant Blackwood), or the rather nifty story (an excavation of a historical site leads to a modern-day quest to find the lost treasure of Attila the Hun), but either way the fourth Fargo adventure is the best of the series so far. Danger abounds, of course, but it�s the characters who sell the story. Sam and Remi Fargo, the husband-and-wife treasure hunters and globe-trotting adventurers, are likable and gutsy, not merely Indiana Jones�style stereotypes. The story moves at a brisk clip, leaping from location to location, with an assortment of colorful villains (including one extremely unpleasant fella who thinks he�s descended from Attila) and plenty of verbal interplay between the two leads. Cussler seems to have entered the period in his lengthy career where he relies heavily on his collaborators�and Perry is an A-lister�but some very good books have been appearing with his name on them, and this is one his fans won�t want to miss. --David Pitt Review Praise for The Tombs : "This adventure series stands as one of the crown jewels in the Cussler empire."� Publishers Weekly Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 / Style Definitions / table.MsoNormalTable Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are in a race to find the famed burial site of Attila the Hun in this adventure in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.When an archeologist friend requests their help to excavate a top-secret historical site, the Fargos are intrigued.
