In a word - Avoid.
This book, though an improvement on Cussler's earlier Fargo adventure, still isn't up to the mark we readers have come to expect of him. When compared to the past and present offerings related to NUMA (both Pitt and Austin), Oregon Files series and Bell series, this book is unfortunately quite a letdown.Mostly the book meanders through random puzzles, really cheesy dialogues between the main character and sudden serendipitous discoveries. The book seems to revolve too much around the main characters, what they eat, drink and wear, and less about other characters - both friend and foe. This leads to rather underdeveloped side characters and villains - of whom we hardly get any glimpses. Even old character like Stella (who seems to be a character with lots and lots of connections) gets a short shrift in this book, while the remaining of the research team has a blink-and-you-miss-them presence. It is side characters like Julian Perlmetter, Vice President Sandecker, Hiram Yaeger, which lend much of the fun in Dirk Pitt books - a lesson which should be implemented here.While the climax here was much better off than the previous book, it still is not in the league of the Dirk Pitt, Oregon and Bell ones.In two minds whether to continue reading this series.

A winner
Yet another winner from Mr Cussler. The Fargo series of books has been ticking along quite nicely with some interesting history being worked into the stories, this one is no exception with our husband and wife team set out to confirm a link between the Vikings and the legendary Toltec god Quetzalcoatl and the fabled eye of heaven taking us from the frozen wastes of Baffin Island to the steamy jungles of Mexico this is quite a ride with plenty of twists and turns and hopefully what looks like a new associate and a new villian but we will have to wait for book no. 7 to find out.

Another great read
Clive Cussler never fails to give his readers something to get their teeth into another great adventure story that I could pick up and read when ever I got the chance well done Clive

Good story but leave the young love banter out!
A good story in itself but i for one am getting a little sick of the touchy/feely teenage banter between Sam and Remi,this could left out as it's not needed or appreciated.

Very Disappointed
Very disappointed,not at all exciting.Clive Cussler used to be much better than this.Although maybe it was written by Russell Blake.There was way to much product placement,i really don't care about the make of Sam Fargo's watch for instance.Also with regard to the Cuban castle burglary has Russell Blake not heard of ski masks.
