The debut of a brand-new, action-packed series from the #1 "New York Times" bestselling master of ?pure entertainment? ("People"). Thousands of years ago, the Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as tribute. In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumble across the pillars in the Pennine Alps. Unable to transport them Napoleon creates a map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. And when Napoleon dies, the bottles disappear? Treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a World War II German u-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's ?lost cellar.? Fascinated, the Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection. But another connoisseur of sorts has been looking for the bottle they?ve just found. He is Hadeon Bondaruk?a half- Russian, half-Persian millionaire. He claims to be a descendant of King Xerxes himself. And he wants his treasure back?

If a book doesn't grab me in the first few pages then it's history. This one is the proverbial "page turner". I love Clive Cussler. Prior to reading the Fargo adventures, I read ALL his Dirk Pitt adventures. I highly recommend Spartan Gold. Can't wait for his newest, The Tombs!

Cussler continues to write great books!!
Once again, Clive has pulled it off! The story starts out a little slow, but picks up after a while. The characters are great, and , of course, the evil doers get their due by the end of the book. Good continuing saga of Kurt Austin. A good book from beginning to end.
