Oracle. Clive Cussler & Robin Burcell. 2019.

It’s 533 AD. The last king of the Vandals’ rule in North Africa hangs in the balance. But when he seeks guidance from an oracle on how to turn back the invading Byzantine army, he learns he is doomed.Only the return of a sacred scroll will lift the curse that hangs over the kingdom. And it is nowhere to be found.

Withnthe collapse of the Vandal Kingdom the ancient scrolls are thought to be lost forever until, centuries later, an archeological dig in present day Tunisia uncovers clues to their existence. That’s all the encouragement Sam and Remi Fargo need to go treasure hunting. 

Then a shipment of supplies for a school in Nigeria supported by their foundation goes missing, Sam and Remi have no choice but to travel to West Africa to help. But what starts as a mercy mission soon gets a whole lot more complicated. And when a gang of thieves abducts Remi and some of the school’s students, it starts to look as if their students trouble might somehow be connected to the missing scrolls. 

It’s soon clear that if they’re going to save the lives of the hostages and track down the hidden treasure, the Fargos will need to draw on all their legendary skills.
