The Fargos are hired by billionaire Charles King to find an old friend of theirs that he had hire to find his missing father. They quickly agree and travel to Nepal where they soon realize that they have been tricked into finding a missing treasure. However, they are interested in finding the treasure for no other reason then to deny it to Charles King.
This is first Fargo adventure I've read and enjoyed it. There was action from the very beginning, right to the end. The characters are enjoyable and it missing the over dramatic tension that over books with Clive Cussler's name on the cover. It just gets on with the job.

This man is a wizard with prologues and then weaving a story so immersive that you forget about it. Then all of a sudden the MCs happen upon the cover art and I love it when a plan comes together. The Fargo Adventures are quite different than the Oregon Files and Im not sure which ones I like more yet. Sam and Remi seem to be a little less prepared than Juan and his crew but it also feels more relatable. This story specifically seemed to fall into the channels of disbelief but entertainment value is through the roof. It was fun traveling through Nepal and Tibet with many of their names and places presented in other languages. The ending showed up really quickly but there weren't any loose ends which I appreciate. Cussler still remains one of my favourite authors.

A fun Fargo book- not different from the others, just a decent light adventure story read.

Found it a little hard to get through. The husband and wife dynamic annoyed me slightly because I felt like the wife was always being put down or has to lessen herself. Also, several aspects of the book were just way to far fetched and made it unenjoyable. I have really enjoyed other books by Cussler, but this was kind of a let downÂ

This one did not seem to grab me like the previous Fargo Adventure stories did. Not sure why. It just seemed to roll along and not really engage me. Oh well, it happens.
