"Wrath of Poseidon" by Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell- Back to the past!
This book is published by Penguin in 2020 and has 437 pages. This is Book 12 of 'Fargo adventures'.
Book starts in present day and takes us quickly into flash back. How Sam and Remy met, fell in love and courtship. But this courtship is not a normal one. It too has adventure. The story comes back to present times for conclusion with the enemy from past.
Why flash back? How did Sam and Remy meet? What was the adventure in their courtship? Who's the villain?
Being a Fargo adventure, there has to be a treasure. It's Poseidon's trident, from the times of King Cyrus of Persia, about 1500 years ago. Sam and Remy go through the cycle of attraction, love, soul mates, doubt, breakup, patch up and marriage. But the reasons for these emotions are different from other lovers. Nothing in the lives of Fargo's is normal. The book is entertaining.
The flow is good and keeps reader interested. Sam and Remy make friends for life in Greece. However, I doubt if these friends will appear in any further book.
The treasure, however, is secondary to the story. Why they do not pursue the treasure for 10 years is not clear and then why they do after 10 years is also not clear. The ease with which they find it is too easy.
It's a second book in a month, that I read, where a Greek megalomaniac is the villain. Coincidence or trend?
Why did I read this book? Author.
What I didn't like? Treasure.
What did I like? Sam and Remy when they were nobody.
Read if you like the series.
