Not my usual read, but it was interesting. There was a lot of historical background injected into the adventures of Remi & Sam Fargo, husband and wife team. The two are treasure hunters that stumble into the mystery of Napoleon's lost wine cellar when they discover a Nazi mini-sub off the coast of Maryland with a 190 year old wine bottle among the sunken cargo. Persian millionaire, Bondaruk, is also looking for this and other bottles that hold clues in the labels. Remi and Sam aren't in this for the money, but to make a mark on history and reveal secrets of the past. Bondaruk is motivated by greed and follows the couple across the world in a murderous chase. Along the way are many close calls, but the Fargos always escape ... a step ahead. A fast-action story that keeps one wondering from page to page how they will get out alive. Of course you know they will ... the story plays out like a James Bond film, and I never questioned the treasure being recovered or the bad guys getting what they deserved.
