Treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo know it's out there somewhere. A decade after their search for the King's gold first brought them together, the husband and wife team return to Greece to uncover the hoard that has always eluded them. 
 
But they soon learn they're not the only ones looking. The reappearance of a vengeful and ruthless rival forces them into a deadly race against time to find the treasure. And until it's found no one is safe. Least of all Sam and Remi . . . 
 
With all the switchblade plotting, globe-trotting action and explosive intrigue that Clive Cussler has made his own, Wrath of Poseidon delivers another white-knuckle ride from the Grandmaster of Adventure.

Fargo Adventures

Isaac Bell

Clive Cussler's most well-known and best-loved hero, Dirk Pitt is quick-witted, cool under pressure and uniquely resourceful. It's these character traits (and a thirst for adventure in service of his country) that make him the perfect man to head up NUMA, the US National Underwater and Maritime Agency. With his right-hand man Al Giordino always at his side, Dirk's NUMA expeditions have seen him face down mad villains, global terror threats, and attempts at world domination.
