Death is always on the backs of these two brilliant treasure hunters but never has it appeared with such deadly fangs. The forces behind the Sam and Remi have never been so evil and desperate to catch and kill them. Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell join the story with an ancient treasure that has been a legend for the last eight hundred years. There is a Cypher wheel as well that possesses a mystery of its own and perhaps the toughest to unlock for the treasure seekers.
One pattern remained the remain throughout the series i.e the journey around the globe we have seen it in The Kingdom and The Tombs as well and now this time the two characters once again travel to different lands. The travelling never gives a tiring feeling as each city or country the characters visits has some surprise for them and it’s through this travelling the story unlocks at every step.
The change in this part is that the Fargos are also investigating a murder as well. Before this part they used to hunt missing person and treasures but now they have to solve a murder case as well because the person who died had a link with the whole case. Scott Brick has never looked so energetic and that’s because he was narrating a story related to pirates this time. The sounds of the pirates along with their intense moods are well tackled by the narrator.
The feeling of the pirate world is just amazing as it increases the challenges for our heroes. Also it gives us a hint that there would be no mercy for anyone who is caught.
