Oka, I reviewed Cussler's Spartan Gold, and I read these two in succession. I liked them, don't get me wrong, but I think I was just overloaded with Cussler. I feel like, yes, these are very action packed, mystery laden books, but Jesus, the Fargo's have ALL the luck, ALL the resources, and ALL the help they ever need. I mean, I know it wouldn't be as fun if something horrible happened to one of them, but if they struggled a little more, maybe it would be more believable! For example, in The Tombs, Remi gets kidnapped and held for ransom. And before long, she starts practicing the "system" her and Sam had put together, in case one of them got kidnapped, and before long she has escaped and at the same time Sam was there to come to the rescue. I don't know. I think I was just burned out on them. I wanted something bad to happen, just so it wouldn't be so predictable. I still think they are fun and exciting books, but it is going to be awhile before I pick another one of Cussler's books up.
