Description

Treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo must protect a book that could help locate lost Mayan cities in this adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo are in Mexico, packing medical supplies in the wake of an earthquake, when they come upon a remarkable discovery—the mummified remains of a man clutching an ancient sealed pot. Within the pot is a Mayan book, a codex larger than any known before.

The book contains astonishing information about the Mayans, their cities, and about mankind itself. The secrets are so powerful that some people would do anything to possess them—as the Fargos are about to find out. Many men and women are going to die for that book.

    This is a terribly shallow book. I have every book in the Fargo series and the first three were written by Grant Blackwood and those had depth, character and great plots....this Thomas Perry is taking a free ride on Clive Cussler. Don't waste your money!

    First 3/4 of book was fantastic. Last 1/4 felt like the author was trying to finish quickly. Wish the finish had more detail.

    Only a little pun intended. This is another strong vehicle in the Fargo series. This series is not like either the NUMA nor the Dirk Pitt novels. It IS just as great a pager turner. Issues tend to be more attuned to the social & moral problems found in modern times. All of which are descended from a real event in history. Cussler uses wonderful research with which he places his entertaining imaginary frogs in some very real and also in some very imaginative gardens.

    I almost wanted to give it 5 stars! I really enjoyed the book, but it had its problems. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I would still recomend this book to anyone!

    I've been a huge fan of Clive Cussler's books, but this one was such a disappointment! What could have been a gripping story (who doesn't love Mayan treasure?) turned out to be stilted, poorly written and well, just boring.
  • This isn't Cussler's writing

    Having become a literary success, Cussler is now apparently farming out his books to be written by elementary school children. "The Mayan Secrets" is a waste of time and money for anyone who enjoyed his early works. Very disappointing.
