    Synopsis
    The trail of an ancient and glorious treasure skips across history and across the globe in best-selling author Clive Cussler's first book in this adventure series. Sam and Remi Fargo, brothers and partners in an unstoppable treasure-hunting team, stumble across a curious bottle of wine in a WWII-era German sub sunk in a Delaware swamp. The bottle is only one part of a set known as the Lost Cellar, a series of 12 bottles upon which Napoleon Bonaparte marked the location of an unbelievably precious stash. The Fargo brothers are, however, not the only ones seeking the Lost Cellar and the bounty to which it leads.

    Publisher's Note
    Thousands of years ago, the Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as tribute. In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumble across the pillars in the Pennine Alps. Unable to transport them Napoleon creates a map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. And when Napoleon dies, the bottles disappear.Treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a World War II German u-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's "lost cellar." Fascinated, the Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection. But another connoisseur of sorts has been looking for the bottle they've just found. He is Hadeon Bondaruk--a half- Russian, half-Persian millionaire. He claims to be a descendant of King Xerxes himself.And he wants his treasure back...

    Spartan Gold - Another Great Cussler Novel

    Created: 07/12/10
    Spartan Gold is the first introduction of the Fargo couple, and the first of the Fargo series. The writing is fresh and fast paced, and the book is hard to put down. This is a very nice addition to the works of Cussler, and is sure to become another one of his timeless classics. I would highly recommend this novel as a starting point for those looking to introduce themselves to the Cussler genre, as it starts off fresh, bringing almost nothing from his previous works along with it. Once the reader is fully impressed with the grandmaster, they will surely look for more, and look forward to the next.

    Meet the Fargos! The're a great couple, and the team they've assembled to help them sniff out all those details when running across some deep mystery...! Well, they're larger than life, just as all Clive's characters are. Yet, just as in all his books, his characters are people you'd like to meet & can almost imagine doing all the things he writes about. Clive: one comment, maybe the guys reading your books appreciate all the technical details of this-that-&-the other, but I sure could do without so much detail, and end up skimming over those bits. Nevertheless, I can never put a Clive Cussler book down, go to sleep happy at the end of my long day, & feel low if I don't have another Cussler book ready to go!

    I have every book by Clive Cussler and love the adventure and treasure hunt excitement they bring. This book is introducing new characters and a new co-author. I didn't find it quite as " I can't put it down" as some others, but still a good read.
