The Romanov Ransom

By: Clive Cussler, Robin Burcell

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo’s search for a Romanov fortune brings them into perilous contact with an ambitious neo-Nazi clan in this New York Times bestselling adventure.

In 1918, a ransom of enormous size was paid to free the Romanovs from the Bolsheviks, but, as history knows, the Romanovs died anyway. And the ransom? During World War II, the Nazis stole it from the Russians, and after that--it vanished. Until now.

When a modern-day kidnapping captures the attention of husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo, the couple soon learn that these long-lost riches may be back in play, held in trust by the descendants of a Nazi guerrilla faction called the Werewolves. It is their mission to establish the Fourth Reich, and their time is coming soon.

As the Fargos follow the trail across Europe, Northern Africa, and South America, they know only one thing. This quest is greater than anything they have ever done--it is their chance to make someone answer for unspeakable crimes, and to prevent them from happening again.

Adventure and Mystery

If you like a light hearted adventure story with a World War 2 mystery linked to the Romanov family, a Nazi plot and a lost treasure then you will enjoy this book.

Good diversion

predictable, but entertaining. good for a long trip. The Fargos never fail to keep peace and chivalry in balance.

Another Winner

One of my favorite Fargo adventures! Could not stop listening; completed this book in several days. Enjoy!

Same old same old

Cusler's plots and stories are sounding all the same but I'll still listen to the next
