The always entertaining Fargo’s are at it again! A much faster paced story then the last few Fargo adventures, was a very enjoyable read even if I with there were more Selma.
Is this series amazing... not really - but it keeps me entertained and I'll be damned if I don't finish it. The Oracle is the 11th installment of the Fargo Adventure series and follow Sam and Remi Fargo as they follow up on some funding inconsistencies at an archaeological site they are funding in Tunisia. As if that wasn't enough of a headache one of the supply trucks headed out to a girls school (that they also fund) is missing in transit. Is something nefarious going on? Not as much about treasure hunting as there other books, but it was still exciting. I really liked Nasha, a young stowaway that wins over the hearts of the Fargos and their friends. Implausible as always but a fast listen.

I love how he always writes himself into the story.
So much fun. Love the series

This lacked the excitement that these books usually have. Instead of running it was more like taking your grandmother for a stroll. The story was wishy washy and really lacked a sense of purpose and direction. It was just a weak story.
There's very little story about treasure hunting/Vandal King scroll - just the last 50 or so pages. Disappointed. Much of the book was devoted to school for girls in Nigeria and kidnapping. The bad guy isn't really a surprise. I think readers can easily figure this one out. I like the interesting proverb in each chapter:
"No matter how good you are to a goat, it will still eat your yam."
- Nigerian proverb

This was another fun easy read in the Sam and Remi Fargo adventure series. A few nice twists and turns. I read these to keep me entertained during the Covid crisis and this one did.
I've been reading Cussler it seems like my entire adult life. This is another of the Fargo's wild adventures. I don't know if it's my imagination or if they get a little more convoluted each time. This one involves a search for an ancient cursed scroll in Tunisia along with a girl's school in Nigeria, throwing in some kidnapping and murders along the way. It is good but not quite as engrossing as Cussler's books used to be. Not sure if that is the writing or just that I have been reading his tales for so long.
The romantic settings of treasure and history hunters continues in this book in the Fargo series.
In this book, the storyline is not unpredictible in many ways, but that is the joy in the over series. New was there was less movement on the Fargo's part as they were more locked into a situation that kept coming for them. This allowed them to show resourcefullness of some of the characters other than our two heroes as well.
Tryng to discover if several people are each on the side of good or trouble was fun. I do enjoy this acton series.

Just so flat it was boring. The background story really didn't play into the majority of the book. Always forget that the Fargo's are so much worse than the other characters.
