The Kingdom is the third installment in the Fargo Adventure series if you are enthusiastic about Clive Cussler books in sequential order. While this book has some feeble points, it is still a particularly entertaining story. Please set aside all of the tough, literary criticisms from folk who cannot say anything nice and pick up this novel for pure fun and adventure. So let us push on into the book's basics.
Worrying news pushes Sam and Remi Fargo into the quest for a missing person. And not just any missing person, this person actually is their friend and collegue. So switching gears from treasure hunting to missing person search takes the Fargos from the U. S. to Nepal. And what they find leads not only to their pal, but to an antiquities black market dealing in fossils together with the inclusion of a corrupt Chinese army general. Top all this intrigue off with evil Texas billionaire pulling all of the, and you have the makings of a wonderful, fast paced book to hold your attention this weekend!
So what is the true motive of the Texan? It's the search for one artifact that holds traditional mystery. Held in high esteem, this artifact was guarded by squaddies who swore their lives to keep it safe and out of the hands of burglars and invading armed forces. To assert that finding this treasure proves to be a discouraging task is an understatement, but Sam and Remi prove they are the task.
Filled with intrigue, and lots of suspense...The Kingdom is a great book to read when you simply want to escape from it all. There are plenty of plot twists, not possible eventualities, and totally unimaginable strokes of good luck thrown into this story. However let's not forget this is a made up story...and that explains why it is so much fun.
We don't read books because expect everything to be perfect with timelines, character development, and pacing...we read fiction books to be entertained and give us a short lived escape from our busy realities of everyday life. The Kingdom from writer Clive Cussler has proved to be just that ,, an enjoyable and fun to read break from the day to day we all live with.
