Pirate [Libby] : Sam and Remi Fargo Adventure Series, Book 8. Penguin Publishing Group, 2016. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 825kB. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read, Filesize: 825kB. Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:<p>March 23, 2015<br /> Bestseller Cussler scores a direct hit in the 10th Oregon Files novel (after 2013’s <em>Mirage</em>), coauthored with Morrison (<em>The Ark</em>). Juan Cabrillo, the captain of the <em>Oregon</em>, a tramp steamer that hides beneath its patina of rust a state-of-the-art battleship bristling with high-tech surface and undersea weaponry, must contend with mad scientific genius Lawrence Kensit, who’s determined to take over the world. The most immediate threat comes from Adm. Dayana Ruiz, the “top-ranking woman in the Venezuelan military,” who’s trying to take out Juan and the <em>Oregon</em> so she can implement one of Kensit’s plots, shooting down the American vice president’s plane. But this is a Cussler thriller, so action scenarios take second place to a blockbuster concept, in this case giant glowing green crystals in a secret cave that power a “neutrino telescope” capable of seeing anything, anywhere on the planet. Series fans will have a lot of fun. Agent: Peter Lampack, Peter Lampack Agency.</p>. Publisher's Weekly. HTML:<p>September 19, 2016<br /> All the familiar elements are in place in bestseller Cussler’s eighth Sam and Remi Fargo adventure (after 2015’s <em>Solomon’s Curse</em>), coauthored with Burcell: a king’s treasure lost in the mists of time; an ancient book that hints at the location of the treasure; and a wealthy evildoer, Charles Avery, who will stop at nothing to find it. The handsome Sam and the beautiful Remi engage in their trademark comic banter, but the action comes across as labored and the quest something of a grind. The scene shifts from 1216 Norfolk, England, to present-day San Francisco, where Remi acquires the ancient tome from a bookseller who ends up dead shortly after the transaction. The Fargos jet to Nova Scotia, a Brazilian island, and Jamaica; they are almost constantly in deadly danger from Avery’s minions, who are one step ahead in the treasure search. Good guys and bad guys end up in a cavern beneath Nottingham Castle for a grand shoot-out. Along with the Fargos, readers will heave a sigh of relief that the end has finally arrived.

HTML:<b>Unstoppable husband and wife team Sam and Remi Fargo face a challenge even they may not be able to beat in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series<br /></b><br /> <i>Going on a treasure hunt. X marks the spot</i>. It's children's rhyme for a reason. While wealth can be lost or stolen, and even found again — if husband-and wife treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on the case — a long-forgotten map is just the stuff of bedtime stories. Like Long John Silver and Robin Hood. But when Sam and Remi try the unthinkable, a relaxing vacation and a visit to a rare bookstore, a very real dead body suggests what they hold in their hands is an actual, ink on paper guide to a historic fortune.<br /> When the Fargos take up the challenge, they find themselves flying from California to Arizona, from Jamaica to England. Racing against a vicious corporate raider with an unhealthy obsession for this particular treasure, Sam and Remi are slowed by a new betrayal at every turn. It can only mean one thing: someone on their team cannot be trusted.<br /> Buzzing with the chemistry and wit of Sam and Remi Fargo's chemistry and wit, <i>Pirate</i> reinvents the classic treasure hunt as only a Clive Cussler adventure can.<br /> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>.
