Pirate by Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell

"Pirate" by Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell. This book is published by Penguin UK in 2016 and has 400 pages. This is Book 8 of 'Fargo adventures' series. 

Hundreds of years ago the treasure of the King John of England is declared lost but in reality it's hidden to prevent it from falling in the hands of French Prince who has usurped the power. Cut to present times. Sam and Remi Fargo decide to take a week off and venture in a rare books shop. There is a robbery. 

Why rob a book shop? How are Fargo's involved? Who are they up against?

Sam and Remi's vacation plans go for a toss once again. Here they encounter same enemy numerous times and survive death at least ten times. How the enemy manages to be where they go remains a mystery.

The couple goes after the treasure tracking one clue that leads to another. These clues were not found by anyone in 200 years but Fargo's find them without sweat. Legend of Robin Hood is also strung in this adventure. 

Narration is OK, but not in the league of other Cussler books. Of all the Cussler series, this one is my least favorite. 

Although the book is not boring, it's nothing to write about either. 

Give it a miss.
