The Solomon Curse

By: Clive Cussler, Russell Blake

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Sam and Remi Fargo search for a legendary lost city in this thrilling adventure from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

Husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo have heard many rumors about the bay off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Some say it was the site of the vanished empire of the Solomon king and that great treasure lies beneath the waters. Others say terrible things happened here, atrocities and disappearances at the hands of cannibal giants, and those who venture there do not return. It is cursed.

The Fargos can’t resist the mystery, but their exploration takes a turn when islanders start disappearing. Soon the pair learn there may be truth behind the fables. Clues and whispers lead them on a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, and what they find at the end of the trail is both wonderful and monstrous—and like nothing they have ever seen before.

Critic reviews

Praise for THE SOLOMON CURSE

“Cussler and Blake have given us another riveting thriller. Sam and Remi are fearless, honest, curious, and resourceful in all situations. Fasten your seat belt for this wonderful read!” — Library Journal

“Scenes, settings, and action are graphic-novel worthy, from sweat-stained jungle treks to bad-guy confrontations, all laced with historical factoids and a soupçon of fantasy for across-the-board appeal. Cussler and Company continue the winning formula, and this jungle episode, featuring exotic locales and an interesting back story, will satisfy the cravings of every fan.” — Kirkus Reviews

Other Praise for Clive Cussler

“The Mayan Secrets is the best of the series so far. The story and characters gel into an adventure that feels like Cussler’s Dirk Pitt adventures. The end result is a blast.” —Associated Press

“Sam and Remi Fargo wield automatic weapons as well as they do metal detectors. This adventure series stands as one of the crown jewels in the Cussler empire.” —Publishers Weekly

“In The Eye of Heaven, Cussler’s blissfully wedded, globe-trotting treasure hunters return for another round of stupendous discoveries and narrow escapes. The two are fabulously wealthy, accomplished, brilliant, attractive, resourceful, courageous, and unfailingly virtuous, with a crackling mutual attraction.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A fun blend of history and mystery…an energetic Cussler actioner with enough character development to give it dramatic weight.”—Booklist

Lot of twists and turns. Action galore!

Very good story. What a great end. You could make a whole story of just the find at the end! Do it Clive!

entertaining

Any additional comments?

The book is entertaining. Unfortunately the storyline is fueled by numerous stupid and illogical actions (the Fargos never miss a chance to barge into danger; villains would rather talk than just kill them; flashlight batteries continue to give out). I don't know why Brick attributes a Carribean Island accent to Solomon islanders.

Fantastic as Usual !

Great narrator, loved the interactions between characters and the authors great descriptions! I would recommend this book (and author) to anyone who likesa good adventure!

Sometimes a bit too much.

I enjoy Clive Cullser's books a lot and I've read most of them. But we all know how it's going to come out. And just sometimes it's a bit too much. Thinking that maybe they'll find a cure to cancer and world hunger along the line with all their other great finds. I won't stop reading them as I admire the man and his accomplishments. Please make them more complicated.

Surprise ending

Very enjoyable book that keeps your interest. Read in definable characters. Would recommend this book to all Clive Cussler fans.
