Book description
The Kingdom is Clive Cussler's third Fargo Adventure.
Whether it's lost treasure or missing persons, the Fargos find
themselves in a heap of trouble every time . . .
When Texas oil baron Charlie King contacts Sam and Remi Fargo he has
an unusual request. He hired an investigator - and good friend of the
pair - to locate his missing father in the Far East. But now the
investigator has vanished. Would Sam and Remi be willing to look for
them both?
Though something about the request doesn't quite add up, Sam and
Remi agree to help out.
It's a journey that takes the Fargos to Tibet, Nepal, Bulgaria,
India, and China. They get mixed up with black-market fossils, a
centuries-old puzzle chest, the ancient Nepali kingdom of Mustang, a
balloon aircraft from a century before its time . . . and an
extraordinary skeleton that might turn the history of human evolution
on its head. Oh, and not a few unfriendly people with guns and itchy
trigger fingers . . .
Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Treasure
of Khan and Valhalla Rising, presents the third novel in
his newest series, following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam
and Remi Fargo. The Kingdom follows Spartan Gold and
Lost Empire.
