About this listen

Clive Cussler introduces Sam and Remi Fargo in Spartan Gold.

An ancient treasure stolen by Xerxes the Great . . . Discovered by Napoleon Bonaparte . . . The clues to its hidden location lost until now . . .

Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Maryland, they're hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a small Second World War German U-boat.

Inside the submarine they find a body - and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure.

One that Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from treasure's one-time owner.

It will be his, no matter who stands in his way . . .

Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Crescent Dawn, presents his newest series, following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo - beginning withSpartan Gold.

I found this hard to get immersed in, let me say, this IS a great story.... however.... discriptions of events seemed chunky and lacking, the use of "Microlight LED" to describe a flashlight or torch seemed to jerk me out of the story at rather pivotal moments, other items like a laptop or phone were mentioned in similar ways like a bright advertising banner that never seemed natural. I felt disconnected with the main characters and even when facing a gun pointed directly at them, held hostage with no way out, i felt nothing for them.

All in all, great story to tell, but with the way its told, will be forgotten within a couple of days for me.

Intriguing yet easily forgotten.
