THE SOLOMON CURSE AUDIO EDITION





     Nothing makes me pick up an audio book quicker than the
names Clive Cussler and Scott Brick.  Cannot count the number
of audios in my collection narrated by Brick, he is simply one of
the very best.  Whether it be suspense, comedy or straight drama
he always brings authenticity to his narrations, and that is certainly
true of The Solomon Curse.

    Fans of this series know they're in for another treat - a story filled with exotic locations, sinister villains, intrigue and likable
lead characters.  Sam and Remi Fargo re multi-millionaires with a passion for treasure hunting and each other.  Intrigued by the
stories about the bay near Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands they head that way.  Was it the site of the lost empire of the Solomon king now rich with treasure beneath its waters or is it where unspeakable atrocities took place and those who dare to go there never return?  Sam and Remi are about to find out and search for answers from the Solomons to Australia to Japan unhindered by being run of the road, shot at and caught in the middle of riots.

Summoned by Leonid Vasyev, a Russian who explores lost civilizations, the Fargos have come to Guadalcanal.  They soon find themselves fascinated by what was found beneath a supposedly forgotten bay, which appears to be the Guadalcanal palace of King Loc, 12th century ruler of the Solomon Islands.  They discover evidence linking the Japanese to stealing from King Loc's underwater palace but the real bad guys may well be contemporary pharmaceutical companies.

     It's quite a ride as the Fargoes try to piece together several puzzles, so settle in and enjoy!
