About this listen
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Clive Cussler and Grant Blackwood's debut title in the Fargo adventure series, Spartan Gold, read by the award-winning narrator Scott Brick.
Thousands of years ago, the mighty Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as a tribute to his glory.
In 1800, while crossing the Pennine Alps, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumbled across the pillars. Unable to transport them, Napoleon created an inscrutable map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. When Napoleon died, the bottles disappeared - and the gold pillars were lost once again.
Treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a 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. But not for the wine; he wants what the bottle may lead to. For he is Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - and he claims descent from King Xerxes himself.
And the treasure will be his, no matter what....

Intriguing yet easily forgotten.
I found this hard to get immersed in, let me say, this IS a great story.... however.... discriptions of events seemed chunky and lacking, the use of "Microlight LED" to describe a flashlight or torch seemed to jerk me out of the story at rather pivotal moments, other items like a laptop or phone were mentioned in similar ways like a bright advertising banner that never seemed natural. I felt disconnected with the main characters and even when facing a gun pointed directly at them, held hostage with no way out, i felt nothing for them.
All in all, great story to tell, but with the way its told, will be forgotten within a couple of days for me.
