SAM and Remi Fargo battle their way through their latest archaeological adventure, dodging bullets and digging up antiquities and numerous skeletons as they go.

Their latest discovery is the final resting place of Attila the Hun, the high king who cut a swathe from his homeland in Eastern Europe all the way to France and nearly toppled the Roman Empire.

They fight to stop a bounty of treasure falling into the hands of a gangster who regards himself as a modernday Attila. As they journey through five tombs, will this husband-and-wife team manage to come out on top?

Clive Cussler is a prolific bestseller and has teamed up with award-winning novelist Thomas Perry.

Together they have produced a puzzle with an explosive finale.
