While scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo come upon a relic belonging to a long-lost Confederate ship. An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery - but, unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico's ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artefact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly.

April 1950: The rusting hulk of a steam locomotive rises from the deep waters of a Montana lake. Inside is all that remains of three men who died forty-four years before. But it is not the engine nor its grisly contents that interest the people watching nearby. It is what is about to come next.... 1906: For two years, the western states of America have been suffering an extraordinary crime spree: a string of bank robberies by a single man who then cold-bloodedly murders any and all witnesses, and then vanishes without a trace....

Publisher's Summary
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Clive Cussler and Grant Blackwood's debut title in the Fargo adventure series, Spartan Gold, read by the award-winning narrator Scott Brick.
Thousands of years ago, the mighty Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as a tribute to his glory.
In 1800, while crossing the Pennine Alps, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumbled across the pillars. Unable to transport them, Napoleon created an inscrutable map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. When Napoleon died, the bottles disappeared - and the gold pillars were lost once again.
Treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a 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. But not for the wine; he wants what the bottle may lead to. For he is Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - and he claims descent from King Xerxes himself.
And the treasure will be his, no matter what....

Intriguing yet easily forgotten.
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.

Really enjoyable tale, following the Fargo's on a global hunt for lost Napoleon treasure.
I've mainly enjoyed Clive Cussler's work with Isaac Bell, but this is without a doubt a great, action packed adventure, and I'll certainly be listening to more :)

I paid £1.99 for this, I can see why.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Any piece of literature is worthy of time to read or listen to. It is the quality of that time that matters. In consideration, I was not surprised by the content nor the characterisation. This was typical Cussler. A winning recipe for him, and in my younger days I read many of his books, particularly the Dirk Pitt sagas. Uncomplicated. Unbelievable but fun. Sort of James Bond at Sea. This was no different, albeit not at sea. The two principle characters, the Fargo couple dropped one-liners every other sentence, regardless of the perils they faced. So, was it time well spent. Yeah, but I won't visiting Clive's work for a while.
If you’ve listened to books by Clive Cussler and Grant Blackwood before, how does this one compare?
Hhhmmmm. How does one bowl of cornflakes compare to another bowl of cornflakes?
What three words best describe Scott Brick’s voice?
Predictable, Untested, Potential
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No. Why, because it's far too fanciful. What was the last Cussler book to make the big screen? Was it "Raising the Titanic", one his first? Fun books, but require big sets, international filming. Too expensive, and would require a massive rewrite to produce a worthy adaptable screenplay.
Any additional comments?
Nope, I've said enough

Enjoyable easy listening
This is what I would describe as an easy listen while you do other things like on a journey or while cooking where you don’t really mind if you miss a few sentences while you attend to other things. I listened to it in bits and pieces. Enjoyable but otherwise not noteworthy or memorable.

Very well written but the central characters are ridiculously smug and infallible as far as I'm concerned. If you liked the Roger Moore Bond movies you might like this. It's a pity because he's obviously a brilliant writer.
