I enjoyed this story but unfortunately I got the abridged version. I think the story would have been more developed if I had gotten the unabridged version. I do recommend this story to people who like Cussler's style of writing. (

An alright book. It was mildly entertaining, the only thing that I find so predictable about C. Cussler books is that 1)His heroes are always rich., powerful, good looking, people who make either history changing or Super Secret Squirrel government toppling discoveries. And 2.) he is always making a cameo in the book someplace. The titles seem to change but the stories are always the same. This is the 1st book of his that I read in a very long time. And I have to say that I haven't missed anything while I was away. (

This was a bit different from other Cussler books. Usually the story line is the good guts trying to foil an evil villian's plot to take over some giant industry. However, this storyline involves the good guys trying to discover the origin of the Aztec empire. In doing so, they may depose the president of Mexico. I enjoyed the book and found myself googling several items that appear in the story to fin out more about those items and if they are real or made up by the authors. (

Sam and Remi just failed to grab me the way that Dirk and Al did. It is hard to tell the exact thing that made this book worse than others by Clive Cussler, but it just seemed to lack the intensity of his other works. (

This book does make me wonder hor much is Cussler and how much Blackwood.
A sketched map on page 313 places the Pacific Ocean west of Africa and east of South America. A slip or an intended error? (

Book description

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.
