Il regno dell'oro

It had been a while since Sam and Remi Fargo had been in Kathmandu, Nepal, but with a colleague missing somewhere in this vast country, they were determined to do their best to find him. They had their suspicions about the person who’d recruited them, and as time moved forward, it seemed they were r Leggi tutto

The third installment in the Fargo Adventures was a little bit of a disappointment and not because of the writing issues, which I wrote about in my reviews for Spartan Gold and Lost Empire . No - in fact the writing style had gotten increasingly better from the first book. The useless details are alm Leggi tutto

A Quickie Review Clive Cussler is well-known for his action/adventure writings, and it's books like this one that prove why. Fun, engaging, exciting, and everything one could want from such a novel. If you haven't read anything by Mr. Cussler...what are you waiting for? Content Concerns: Some violence Leggi tutto

Um, where to start... I guess I'll get going by saying why I wanted to read this book in the first place. If we disregard the major motivating factor of, I got the book for free, we must then examine my next motivation - the cover. I looked at it and thought, how on Earth could I not want to read a b Leggi tutto

This entry of the Fargo series has a Texas Oil man sending the two after a fellow investigator, who searched for the man's father. Of course, that's all a con, and the Fargos go all over the world, looking for the real treasure. Shallow, but with some entertainment value.

Clive Cussler covers are epic.

And Cussler's new novel, The Kingdom, is no different. With backgrounded Himalaya, snow and dark sk Leggi tutto

“Place names are trivial. It’s the meaning we attach to them that counts.” At some point successful authors conclude they can sell books based on their name rather than the content. Apparently Clive Cussler reached that point when writing this book. It is the kind of fast-paced Indiana-Jones-type act Leggi tutto

Of all the "cussler books" I have read, this is by far the worst. Of course, it was not written by Clive Cussler. His name is just the largest on the cover. The actual author was Grant Blackwood and it is a spinoff of a character Cussler introduced in one of his novels. I found it very difficult to ' Leggi tutto

The Fargo series is the weakest of Cussler's franchises, but still entertaining. This particular one moves faster than most, breezing through the requisite historical prologues and jumping in to the action. The Antagonist is a bit two dimensional, although with a few interesting familial quirks; and Leggi tutto

Nothing better than reading a good book on a cold and snowing day! Too bad it was a re-read! Lol 🌻
