Summary
The husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team of Sam and Remi Fargo return in a new adventure as they search for an ancient scroll--which carries a deadly curse--in this thrilling addition to Clive Cussler's bestselling series.

In 533 A.D., the last Vandal ruler in North Africa consults an oracle on how to defeat the invading Byzantine army. The oracle tells the king that a high priestess cast a curse upon the Vandal Kingdom after a sacred scroll was stolen. In order to lift the curse, the scroll must be returned to its rightful home. But the kingdom falls before the scroll is found, leaving its location a great mystery. . . until a current day archeological dig, funded by Sam and Remi Fargo, uncovers some vital clues.

The search for the ancient scroll is put on hold when the Fargos learn that a shipment of supplies intended for their charitable foundation's school has been stolen, and they travel to Nigeria to deliver new supplies themselves. But their mission becomes infinitely more complicated when they run afoul of a band of robbers. The group takes Remi and several students hostage, and there are signs that the kidnapping is related to the missing scroll. The Fargos need all their skills to save the lives of the young girls at the school before they uncover the hidden treasure. . . and lift the deadly curse.

Not one of the best in the Fargo series. It tended to drag in the middle, and the ending was just so-so. As always Scott did a wonderful job with the story.

Decent story, great narrator. Could have done without the proverbs at the beginning of each chapter.

How am I just now finding out about these books? These are great for when you are working in the garage or doing lawn work.

As always Sam & Remy end up in trouble but thats what makes the series so wonderful! The added depth of a history lesson in each book is a much appreciated bonus. I love how Sam is so protective of Remy proving chivalry isn't dead, but on the flip side Remy is so capable of taking care of herself. For me the added characters were like the icing on the cake, they added depth to the story, without them the book would have been short and dull. Thank you Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell for the wonderful and much enjoyed Fargo adventures! Also thank you to Scott Brick, you really are an amazing narrator! please continue to read this series!

Terrible story. 70+ Out of 90 chapters had little to do with the book title or the story description. Most of the story was excruciating boring listening about little girls school. Scratching Robin Brucell off my reading list. On the other hand Scott Brick is a master story teller. Don’t let this guy go.

Sexist dribble with every chapter dripping of misandry. The fact that the name "Clive Cussler" is attached to a piece trash that sounds as if it was written by a gender studies professor is saddening, Someone should remind Mr.Cussler that this kind of backward thinking is no longer socially acceptable.
