The Eye of Heaven

Emerald. A few pages into the sixth novel in the Sam and Remi Fargo series by Clive Cussler titled, The Eye of Heaven, had me double check to see if I had read it already. The formula was so familiar that only the publication date convinced me that this is a new installment. The title refers to a giant emerald. The wealthy Fargos travel the globe while they are hunting for treasure that they usually do not keep for themselves. They eat and drink well, staying in fine lodging, thanks to a talented support staff. They face worthy adversaries and prevail. In this outing, some of the villains are especially competent and crafty. For a few hours of predictable escapist reading, this series and this installment fits the bill for those readers who like this form of light reading.
