Lost Empire - Clive Cussler

Husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo return in this extraordinary new adventure following their New York Times-bestselling debut, Spartan Gold. nHusband-and-wife treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo run afoul of a dangerous dictator in this adventure in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. nWhile scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo come upon a relic belonging to a long-lost Confederate ship.

An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery--but unknown to them, a much more powerful force is engaged in the same chase. Mexico's ruling party, the ultranationalist Mexica Tenochca, is intent on finding that artifact as well, because it contains a secret that could destroy the party utterly. n nThrough Tanzania and Zanzibar, into the rainforests of Madagascar, and across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia and the legendary site of the 1883 Krakatoa explosion, the Fargos and their ruthless opponents pursue the hunt--but only one can win.

And the penalty for failure is death.n
