Book description
Clive Cussler introduces Sam and Remi Fargo in Spartan Gold.
An ancient treasure stolen by Xerxes the Great . . . Discovered
by Napoleon Bonaparte . . . The clues to its hidden location lost
until now . . .
Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a
wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in
Maryland, they're hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a
small Second World War German U-boat.
Inside the submarine they find a body - and a puzzling, incredibly
rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from
Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure.
One that Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire
- will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from
treasure's one-time owner.
It will be his, no matter who stands in his way . . .
Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Arctic
Drift and Crescent Dawn, presents his newest series,
following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo -
beginning with Spartan Gold.
