Synopsis

Unstoppable husband and wife team Sam and Remi Fargo face off against an obsessive millionaire hunting for a lost treasure in this adventure in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series

When husband and wife treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo try something new, a relaxing vacation, a detour to visit a rare bookstore leads to the discovery of a dead body. All signs point to a book in the store that may contain a secret map, an actual, ink-on-paper guide to a historic fortune.
           
The Fargos take up the challenge and find themselves flying from California to Arizona, from Jamaica to England. Racing against a vicious corporate raider with an unhealthy obsession for this particular treasure, Sam and Remi are slowed by a new betrayal at every turn. It can only mean one thing: someone on their team cannot be trusted.

Buzzing with the chemistry and wit of Sam and Remi Fargo, Pirate reinvents the classic treasure hunt as only a Clive Cussler adventure can.

About Clive Cussler

During a very active, interesting life, author. Clive Cussler became interested in writing. He was in the Air Force during the Korean War followed by a career in advertising writing award winning commercials. In 1996 he wrote his first notification work, The Sea Hunters. From that work he was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree, with his work being accepted in lieu of a thesis. Then, in 2002 he was awarded the Naval Heritage Award for his efforts in the subject of marine exploration. He is also a Fellow in three prestigious marine organizations.

In keeping with his marine interests, his books revolved around character, Dirk Pitt, who was a marine engineer, government agent, and adventurer. His first two novels were more traditional maritime thrillers, but the third, Raise the Titanic, established his iconic style.....a blend of high adventure and high technology involving villains, sunken treasure, and beautiful women.

Cussler writes in the style like fellow authors, Michael Crichton, creating techno - thrillers that do not depend on any certain settings with great spectacular and outlandish plot devices. He has had more than seventeen titles on the New York Times fiction best seller list.

Goodreads review by Paul on February 08, 2023

Clive Cussler’s literary brain candy is not aging well! Sam and Remi Fargo are multi-millionaire treasure hunting philanthropists! Charles Avery is a nasty corporate shark with a distant family connection to King John’s hidden treasure and he won’t let anyone, least of all do-gooders like the Fargos,......more

Fun, but with some credibility issues The most intense, two-fisted and action-packed of all the novels I’ve read in the Sam & Remi Fago series thus far, and therefore the most enjoyable thus far IMHO. As an Anglophile, also love the medieval English history nexus and the fact that a huge chunk of the......more

Hunting for treasure The Fargos are ready for vacation when they get pulled into a hunt for a clue that might lead them to buried treasure from the time of Robin Hood. The Fargos themselves are well developed characters but I wished the others were described more thoroughly. I enjoyed the adventure,......more

Goodreads review by Jack on May 25, 2019

Mindless simple reading. I picked it up to read on the plane and that’s what I did. This wasn’t literary genius. The plot is basic, the characters are too. It’s easily digested and doesn’t take much effort. It’s number 8 in the series but doesn’t really require any prior knowledge of the series.......more
