L'impero perduto

It was the discovery of an 80lb ship’s bell off the coast of Tanzania that started Sam and Remi Fargo’s next adventure. From Tanzania to Zanzibar, Madagascar and Indonesia, their journey was spell binding but fraught with danger. Dogged by mercenaries who were also determined to keep the secrets Sam Leggi tutto

This book game me my recent fix for history and adventure. I took one star off because it also gave me jet lag....ha ha ha!

Why do I keep coming back to the Fargo adventures? Because this needs to happen in my life. TOMB RAIDER X UNCHARTED FOREVER!!! Until my fangirl dreams are fulfilled I am going to be content with the second best thing - Clive Cussler's husband/wife treasure-hunting duo on a track to a new adventure. Th Leggi tutto

Back in the day I vaguely remember reading Raise The 'Titanic'! –yet I recall hardly any details of it or the hero Dirk Pitt. Fast forward to today and I have now finished “Lost Empire” by the same author, which left me bemused to say the least. The heroes are husband and wife team Sam and Remi Farg Leggi tutto

Read this one for love . . . My husband thought I'd enjoy the storyline and setting. And, I did -- the "historical" mystery was fun. But the writing! The portrayals of the characters were cartoonish and ugly. The Fargos are completely unbelievable as a wealthy couple in their mid-30s. Their depth of Leggi tutto

There are quite a few issues I see with this novel, but overall, The Lost Empire is a serious improvement compared with Spartan Gold , the first book in this series. I'm torn apart between giving it credit for the changes in good or penalizing it for the remaining issues. The good: 1) The kind of detai Leggi tutto

I listened to this an audio book, it isn't the kind of book I'd read, I don't think, it's more like a movie I might watch if I want to turn my brain off. This book actually is pretty much an equivalent of an average hollywood action adventure flick. It's number 2 in a series, but it works as a stand Leggi tutto

I guess i am slowly losing it for Cussler's books. So many different verisons of Cussler and it seems to have watered down the brand, at least for me. I liked the book but it was just ok. Too many times i found myself skimming as the words just didnt seem as if i needed to read them. And the truth i Leggi tutto

I always enjoy popping in and seeing what trouble Sam and Remi get themselves into and then miraculously back out of again. Loads of fun to read.
