Description: 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 with Spartan Gold. Praise for Clive Cussler:' The guy I read' Tom Clancy.

Review: This book grabs your attention from page one and wants your undivided attention to the end of the last page. Personally I enjoyed the book very much because many of the locations in the book rd known to me so once I had put the book down I was able to travel back to my own travels and see them again in my memory.

Review: Though a great fan of Mr Cussler's work, I must agree with other reviewers about the "Hart to Hart" chief characters and the excessive product placement.The use of English between Russians may help the plot but is not credible. A few quibbles/errors- p.2 "Napoleon was of medium height."At 5'6" he was for his era but would be thought short by modern standards. P.3 "Charlemagne in A.D. 800 returning from his coronation in Rome as the first Holy Roman Emperor. I believe he would have returned to Aachen in 801. his coronation being on 25th December 800. P.456 refers to a journey from Venice to Trieste "There's a flight leaving in two hours" "As it turned out the quickest route was an Alitalia flight from Venice to Rome, then across the Adriatic to Trieste." Trieste is some 120km north east of Venice. For some 10 Euros you can book a 1st class ticket on the hourly train and arrive in 1 hour 50 minutes. This is after all Europe not the U.S. Some other journeys seem to involve similar unlikely routes. P.469 "Then twenty-five hundred years later Napoleon somehow stumbles onto them" The time period is 483 B.C to 1800 A.D, not quite twenty-three hundred.
