Sam and Remi Fargo, heroes of Spartan Gold, return in this extraordinary new adventure from the number-one New York Times- bestselling author.
With Spartan Gold, a daring thriller that Publishers Weekly proclaimed "solidly in the Cussler tradition, [and] sure to please new fans and old," Clive Cussler introduced husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo. In their electrifying new adventure, the Fargos make a startling discovery that others would kill to keep hidden...
While scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo come upon a relic belonging to a long-lost Confederate ship. An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery-but unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico's ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artifact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly.
Through Tanzania and Zanzibar, into the rainforests of Madagascar, and across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia and the legendary site of the 1883 Krakatoa explosion, the Fargos and their ruthless opponents pursue the hunt-but only one can win. And the penalty for failure is death.
Filled with the dazzling suspense and breathtaking action that are Cussler's trademarks, Lost Empire is a stunning new novel from the grand master of adventure.

Detective Isaac Bell, hero of The Chase and The Wrecker, returns in the remarkable new adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.
It is 1908, and international tensions are mounting as the world plunges toward war. When a brilliant American battleship gun designer dies in a sensational apparent suicide, the man's grief-stricken daughter turns to the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency to clear her father's name. Van Dorn puts his chief investigator on the case, and Isaac Bell soon realizes that the clues point not to suicide but to murder. And when more suspicious deaths follow, it becomes clear that someone-an elusive spy-is orchestrating the destruction of America's brightest technological minds... and the murders all connect to a top- secret project called Hull 44.
But that is just the beginning. As the intrigue deepens, Bell will find himself pitted against German, Japanese, and British spies, in a mission that encompasses dreadnought battleships, Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet, Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Isaac Bell has certainly faced perilous situations before, but this time it is more than the future of his country that's at stake- it's the fate of the world.
±1±: Best Buy Gotta love Saturdays for many reasons. One of them is the opportunity to read a novel like this at the beach or by the pool. The Spy is the third installment in the Isaac Bell saga. Clive Cussler has another winning series here. The period piece is an excellent summer read. The other titles in the series, in case you have missed them are The Chase & The Wrecker. I think there is a pattern in the titles here, The followed by one more word. I enjoy the simplicity. The novel is set around 1908 as many nations of the world are making alliances and ramping up for war. Everybody wants to know what everybody else has for weapons and how far along they are. Bell being the James Bond of his day, must track down the Spy and stop the newest plot. Cussler & Scott seem to have a good grip on the history and details of the time. I find that type of info amusing and fun, the ability to place us back in time and help us to understand the foibles of the day as Bell chases the spy from locale to locale, trying to cut him off at the pass. Communication, travel, national pride, and world alliances are first and foremost in this novel. Cussler is an excellent storyteller. I have read all his work and thoroughly enjoy his different franchises. He knows how to pace a novel and hold our interest. The world he has created around Isaac Bell is a fun one, steeped in history with a bit of editorial license thrown in. Isaac Bell is an excellent character and I enjoy following his growth and antics. Cussler/Scott takes us on another jaunt through history, having us hold on to the edge of the book as the action ramps up, topping itself, time and time again.
