More About This Book

Overview

 A search for a missing father and son. A find that could rewrite human history. Sam and Remi Fargo aren’t about to give up on either.

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).

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

In their latest globe-trotting adventure, husband-and-wife treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo find themselves enmeshed again in interlocking mysteries involving potent secrets from the distant past and dangers that are all too present. A superb choice for Father's Day (June 19th) or any other day.

Publishers Weekly
In Cussler and Blackwood's rousing third adventure featuring treasure hunters extraordinaire Sam and Remi Fargo (after Lost Empire), the couple get on the trail of a sacred object, the Theurang, "said to have been a life-sized statue of a man-like creature or... the skeleton of the creature itself." Or maybe it's a chest holding the creature's bones. Reclusive wealthy entrepreneur Charles King (aka "King Charlie") is also searching for this artifact. King's girlfriend, Zhilan Hsu, and their grown children, Russell and Marjorie, will stop at nothing to fulfill King's deadly demands. As in the previous volumes, the action ricochets around the globe, with Sam and Remi making one astounding discovery after another while they decipher cryptic clues, exchange banter, and escape otherwise inescapable dangers. Fresh prose, a smart and amusing husband-and-wife team, interesting history and science, and a wildly imaginative plot all add up to a good time for Cussler's many fans as well as series newcomers.

Library Journal
Sam and Remi Fargo are treasure hunters. But now, in a journey that takes them to Tibet, Nepal, China, Siberia, and Italy, they're hunting for a missing investigator friend. With artifacts ranging from a Stone Age ostrich egg to a skeleton that seems to be even older, this sounds like classic Cussler. In a review of Lost Empire (Xpress Reviews, 7/30/10), LJ termed the Fargo series "second tier at best"; you know if you have an audience.

His most recent New York Times bestsellers are The Kingdom, The Thief, and Devil’s Gate. His nonfiction works include Built for Adventure: The Classic Automobiles of Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt, plus The Sea Hunters and The Sea Hunters II; they describe the true adventures of the real NUMA, which, led by Cussler, searches for lost ships of historic significance. With his crew of volunteers, Cussler has discovered more than sixty ships, including the long-lost Confederate submarine Hunley. He lives in Arizona and Colorado.

Grant Blackwood, a U.S. Navy veteran, spent three years aboard a guided missile frigate as an operations specialist and pilot rescue swimmer. The author of the Briggs Tanner series, and coauthor of Spartan Gold and Lost Empire. He lives in Colorado.

Biography

Cussler began writing novels in 1965 and published his first work featuring his continuous series hero, Dirk Pitt, in 1973. His first non-fiction, The Sea Hunters, was released in 1996. The Board of Governors of the Maritime College, State University of New York, considered The Sea Hunters in lieu of a Ph.D. thesis and awarded Cussler a Doctor of Letters degree in May, 1997. It was the first time since the College was founded in 1874 that such a degree was bestowed.

Cussler is an internationally recognized authority on shipwrecks and the founder of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, (NUMA) a 501C3 non-profit organization (named after the fictional Federal agency in his novels) that dedicates itself to preserving American maritime and naval history. He and his crew of marine experts and NUMA volunteers have discovered more than 60 historically significant underwater wreck sites including the first submarine to sink a ship in battle, the Confederacy's Hunley, and its victim, the Union's Housatonic; the U-20, the U-boat that sank the Lusitania; the Cumberland, which was sunk by the famous ironclad, Merrimack; the renowned Confederate raider Florida; the Navy airship, Akron, the Republic of Texas Navy warship, Zavala, found under a parking lot in Galveston, and the Carpathia, which sank almost six years to-the-day after plucking Titanic's survivors from the sea.

In September, 1998, NUMA - which turns over all artifacts to state and Federal authorities, or donates them to museums and universities - launched its own web site for those wishing more information about maritime history or wishing to make donations to the organization. (www.numa.net).

In addition to being the Chairman of NUMA, Cussler is also a fellow in both the Explorers Club of New York and the Royal Geographic Society in London. He has been honored with the Lowell Thomas Award for outstanding underwater exploration.

Cussler's books have been published in more than 40 languages in more than 100 countries. The author lives in Arizona.

    Loved it!

    Another winner for the Fargo's. It seems that all Mr. Cussler's books end too quickly. I could barely put this one down. The action was non-stop. The story inventive and the mountains views mouth-watering.

    Interesting, but....

    An interesting, with periods of bogged-down casual conversation and admiration between the characters (Fargo's),adventure type book. Some conveniences and sudden access to high tech gadgets, in the remotest corners of the world, are a bit unbelievable if not downright impossible. The book does keep one's interest or curiosity going toward discovery of the ultimate prize near the end, the very end. Not exactly a "page turner" as others in this series.

    Very Good

    This is a typical Cussler book. It starts out slow then adds a BUNCH of cahracters. Then ends with many things going on thatlead you to the end of the book. This is a very good read.

    Wow.

    It's incredible! I thought Spartan Gold and Lost Kingdom were great and this one is right up there. Clive Cussler, your Fargo adventures are nothing short of staggering! Some of the best adventure novels I've ever read. I swear, Sam and Remi give Indiana Jones a run for his money, I can't wait for the next one to release. I'm recommending all three of these books to everyone I know who loves a good treasure hunt!

    Love the Fargo series. I love how Cussler combines history with a mystery and the adventure of following the Fargo's. I would highly love to see these made into movies also but the books are always the best.

    Love the Sam and Remi team. Kept my curiosity peaked until the end. I miss the adventures of Dirk Pitt and am glad his children carry on the legacy in Cusslers books but now I am a big fan of the Fargos. I also like the Kurt Austin adventures. Not a huge fan of the Oregon files though.

    So-so compared to previous books

    I don't usually write reviews for anything, but for this, I felt like I had to. I am very torn about this book. While the location and overall idea for the plotline were interesting, and the new villains were interesting as well, I felt that The Kingdom wasn't as good as it's predecessors.

    The Kingdom lacked the page turning air that the previous Fargo Adventures had. In the previous books, the Fargos, along with their research team, would go through a series of puzzles, clues, or something of that sort, getting an answer from their knowledge of random history. That exciting element was not involved in this book. Sure, they had to solve problems along the way, but it was not as interesting and in depth as it could have been.

    Still, Sam and Remi Fargo's witty banter and myriad of skills still amazes me and delights the reader.
