THE LATEST INSTALMENT IN THE FARGO ADVENTURES FROM BESTSELLING GRAND MASTER OF ADVENTURE CLIVE CUSSLER
WHO WILL DISCOVER THE LOST RICHES OF CROESUS?
________
Treasure hunters Remi and Sam Fargo are in Washington, DC looking for the final clue in a puzzle more than a decade old - a dangerous mystery which originally led to their teaming up.
For ten years ago, a chance meeting that threw Remi and Sam together led to the pair diving together for ancient sunken wrecks off the Greek coast.
But when a secretive billionaire decided he didn't want anyone diving in the seas near his operations, the pair found themselves in deep trouble. Only now, returning ten years later, do they finally understand who and what they were up against.
For with the lost riches of Croesus lying somewhere in these waters, their formidable enemy won't be giving up easily.
Suddenly, finding the treasure becomes less important than making it home alive . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in bestseller Cussler's posthumous 12th Sam and Remi Fargo adventure (after 2019's The Oracle, also coauthored with Burcell), an intriguing origin story, treasure hunters Sam and Remi meet with St. Julien Perlmutter, "a world authority on maritime history," concerning the one treasure they never found, a hoard of gold stolen from King Cyrus in 546 BCE. Sam tells Perlmutter how he met Remi Longstreet 10 years earlier at a caf in Hermosa Beach, Calif. The attraction was mutual, and, after getting to know each other better, Sam and Remi decided to go to the Greek island of Fourni to search for the treasure trove known as Poseidon's Trident. Also hunting the treasure was wealthy Greek businessman Adrian Kyril, who would stop at nothing to find the gold. Flashbacks detail Sam and Remi's exciting battle to thwart Kyril. In the present, events make it imperative that the Fargos return to Fourni to take up the Poseidon's Trident mystery once again. Readers will keep turning the pages to see what happens next. Series fans will hope Cussler's recent death won't mean the end of this popular series.
