Lost Empire (Fargo Adventure Series #2)

come on people! he didnt write it!

i find it hilarious that some people complain that "clive cussler surely couldn't have wrote this book"! he didn't! grant blackwood was given clive's blessing to write spartan gold and lost empire. clive wrote his first dirk pitt novel in 1970 something! he is 79 so i'm sure he's tired by now. he merely consulted grant through the process of writing these books. i think they are magnificent and thanks to clive cussler i have now found a great new author. i can only hope grant blackwood will keep on writing this great new series for years to come!

Cussler fans must read

The Fargos are at it again. Innocently walking or swimming into a worldwide mystery. Quite the story. Mystery, action, adventure - this has it all. A must read for all Cussler fans and not-yet Cussler fans alike. If you've never read Cussler this book and series will make you a life-long fan.

Good read

Wasn't a thrill a minute like Dirk Pitt but the young couple leads and interesting and exciting life. I would read another of their adventures.

CURLED UP WITH CUSSLER AND BLACKWOOD..

.......because Sam and Remi Fargo are off again on another unusual adventure. This time they take you on a joyride to Tanzania, Zanzibar, Madagascar and into the Indian Ocean. The action is low-key but suspenseful as Sam and Remi try to stay one step ahead of an assassin bent on keeping them from revealing a skeleton in a Mexican President's ancestry. This is a book with a fun couple, smarmy villains, great locations and a rousingly good story skillfully told. If you want a super old-fashioned adventure story - this will more than satisfy any cravings you might have. Want a macho male tale with a lot of mayhem. Blackwood does tell that kind of story in his three other books - The End of Enemies - The Wall of Night - An Echo of War - all starring covert agent Briggs Tanner with new and interesting characters in spectacular settings and exciting stories.

The worst of Clive Cussler.

What has happened to Clive Cussler? This was the worst book I have read of his,(and I have read ALL of his books). This book is full of inaccuracy throughout. Since when is the pacific ocean between south america and africa. Not only in print,but in the picture on page 313. This is not the Clive Cussler all of us fans know. Where was the proof reader to find these false facts and all the misspelled words. All through this book leaves with the thought that Clive Cussler did not write this book and I find it hard to believe that he even read it. Bestseller to what?

For those who have imagination.

The lost empire was an exceptional read.

Love The Fargo adventures but...

This came as a great disappointment, as I usually love Clive Cussler's books. I think I've read them all, however I found so many errors in this book that I almost stopped reading. Please Mr Cussler put more time in your research or at least spend more time proof reading your co- author's work.

Fargo #2

Unbelievable but believable!!

WOW!

Hold on for a non stop ride!

Highly Recommended

Good Read, great story, fast moving

another ghost writer...stinks as bad as Tom Clancy Minions

Tried to exchange with BN as I didn't realize it wasn't a CC original. They flat out refused so I'm afarid I will be going elsewhere. Other retailers purchases will work on the nook

Ok for rainy days

A one to two time reader ok as audiobook for driving down the road. Story line is so so could be a little more like spartan gold. All in all I'd give it three and a half stars.

ok, just ok

entertaining, fair needs to develop more

great read

I have read many Clive Clussler books, and this was diferent but enjoyable to read. I look forward to book 3.

The worst

Absolutely the worst novel I have read to the end. So much action that I did not just throw it in the trash. Science fiction is more logical and believable than this. i will not buy nor read another Cussler novel

Not Good

The plot didn't warrant the need for our two adventurers to be putting themselves in harms way(many times). No one gives a rats azz about the corrupt Mexican government because if the current regime crumbles another corrupt regime will take its place.

Clever Cussler

This book was much better than Spartan Gold. The only mystery that remains is how these "bad guys" keep finding the Fargo's in these remote places on the globe? Was somewhat explained in the earlier adventure of Spartan, but not so much in this book. Could not help but notice that Clive has written himself into these stories and shown up in the strangest places in clever character form. But worth the price of admission for sure.

sill has it

these two write well together, history and plot with some fun in their books, as well as the what ifs in the world. thanks and keep on writing more.

Awesome Read

Once again Cussler has created an epic read. From Tanzinia to Krakatoa, we follow Sam and Remi Fargo as they once again find themselves between gun toting maniacs and a historical mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. For both fans of Cussler or people who love adventure, this is a must read.
