It features the Fourth Doctorand Leela. There, they befriend the natives, and when the son of their friend Tortorro falls ill, Stockwood helps to cure him. He then takes advantage of this act to convince the reluctant Tortorro to take him to the sacred Cave The Eye of Heaven the Sun's Inclination. The villagers find them there, and Stockwood panics and flees, taking the sacred rongo-rongo stick and abandoning his friends to the villagers. He hides in the tunnels which the natives use to hide from slavers, and emerges at night, to see a ceremony in which Tortorro apparently dies from nothing more than ostracism from the community. As Richards cries to him for help, Stockwood takes to his heels and flees back to his ship, pursued by the villagers. Panic-stricken and half-dead, he returns to England without Richards, but with the conviction that at the end, the moai, the great stone heads, walked across the island in pursuit of him He places an advertisement in the Times, seeking funding for a return expedition to Rapa Nui, and this catches the Doctor's attention. After hearing Stockwood's story, the Doctor agrees to fund the expedition, and converts gemstones from distant planets to ready cash for his purposes. Before leaving, he catches Stockwood's underpaid butler, Fennell, trying to rob the house, and dismisses him. The Eye of Heaven Doctor is then attacked and taken prisoner by a dockworker. Leela becomes suspicious of Royston and determines to keep an eye on him, but Royston is just as The Eye of Heaven of her; he is worried about Stockwood's sanity, and doesn't believe that the Doctor and Leela truly have his best interests at heart. He offers to join the expedition as a medical officer, despite Leela's objections. That night, Fennell breaks into Stockwood's home, The Eye of Heaven when Royston is forced to shoot him, Leela is convinced that he did so to prevent Fennell from being questioned about his accomplices. Stockwood decides to hide the body in order to avoid involving the police, which would delay his expedition. Royston's suspicions about the Doctor seem justified when they arrive in Portsmouth and find no sign of him, but Leela, while searching for the Doctor, is also attacked and kidnapped by the dockworker. With only hours to go before the Tweed departs, Royston suggests leaving the Doctor and Leela behind, but Stockwood—although finding it difficult to explain his instinctive The Eye of Heaven of Leela—refuses to abandon his friends again. Royston reluctantly accompanies him into the city to search for the The Eye of Heaven Doctor and Leela, but they are also attacked and knocked out by the dockworker. Along with the Doctor and Leela, they awaken tied to the pier as the tide comes in. Leela manages to free herself and the others, and the Doctor sends Royston and Stockwood back to the ship while he and Leela try to find out why the dockworker tried to kill them. When they find him, he refuses to answer their questions, and instead tries to shoot them. They flee back to the Tweed, while the dockworker, pursued by police, is shot at and dives into the water just as the ship departs. The Doctor and Leela pull themselves on The Eye of Heaven to find that Captain Stuart has accepted payment from the enemy who has been trying to stop their expedition; Alex Richard's sister Jennifer, who has hated Stockwood with a passion ever since he abandoned her brother to his death on Rapa Nui. The Doctor convinces Richards to wait until they've reached Rapa Nui to take her revenge—and convinces Leela not to kill her before then. Leela is still convinced that Royston intends to betray them, especially when The Eye of Heaven sees him privately offering money to Richards. Richards and Royston emerge from a locked cabin carrying soiled bandages, and Leela determines to find out who's inside. A cyclone blows the Tweed off course into the south seas and destroys their supplies of fresh water, and the crew must dock with a passing iceberg to replenish their supplies. Leela takes advantage of their distraction to break into the locked cabin, where she finds the dockworker, Stump, alive and delirious. Stump flees onto the iceberg, pursued by Leela, but as the iceberg begins to break up she retreats to the The Eye of Heaven, leaving him to die. Royston explains that Stump, although shot by the police, managed to catch hold of a rope hanging from the Tweed and pull himself aboard as it left Portsmouth. Royston tried to save his life because that's what doctors do; besides, by offering to pay off Richards and save Stump's life, he hoped to convince her to let Stockwood go without killing him. The Tweed enters turbulent waters where a whale and a giant squid are battling to the death, and Leela and Royston are both swept overboard. As the Tweed pulls ever further away, Leela is forced to kill the squid herself and to tie herself and Royston to the whale in order to survive. The whale is too seriously wounded to dive beneath the surface, and eventually dies, just as another storm approaches—this time with a waterspout. Leela and Royston must climb inside the whale's mouth in order to ride out the typhoon The Tweed reaches Rapa Nui in December, although there appear to be no natives present to greet them. Stockwood is torn with guilt over abandoning Royston and Leela, but it's no less than Richards had expected of him; she lives now only to see him torn with madness over the grave of her brother. The Doctor, meanwhile, studies the moai and finds that their mass is fluctuating, which means that they are absorbing and transmitting energy somehow; but before he can investigate further, the Tweed is attacked by a fleet of Peruvian ships, and he and Stockwood realize too late why they have seen no natives. The Doctor finds a group of Peruvian slavers herding the natives together and tries to intervene, but the slavers shoot him in the The Eye of Heaven. Stockwood flees into the tunnels, where Richards and the ship's boy Jack Devitt are hiding along with the natives. The others from the Tweed are prisoners of the Peruvian captain DaBraisse, as is the recovering Doctor. Leela and Royston, having survived their ordeals, are rescued by Polynesian natives and taken to Rapa Nui. There, Leela whips up the natives' fighting spirit and prepares to lead them in an attack on the Tweed, intending to rescue Captain Stuart. But before they go, one of the islanders finally recognizes Stockwood, and brings forth his punishment—the mad and emaciated Alex Richards, who has been kept alive in the caves for the past thirty years so the islanders may slit his throat before Stockwood's eyes. Leela then leads the islanders to the harbour while Stockwood and Jennifer Richards remain in the caves in shock. Stuart captures a Peruvian cannon and fires on DaBraisse's ship, and the other Peruvians are forced to retreat. DaBraisse, having survived the attack, retreats with them—but not before mortally wounding Royston, who had just saved Leela's life. Leela realizes she was wrong to mistrust him. Leela and the Doctor take the dying Royston back to the island, where Leela stops Jennifer from killing Stockwood and the Doctor determines that there's nothing he can do to save Royston. But the islanders have no quarrel with Royston, and The Eye of Heaven old woman who killed Alex Richards tells the Doctor to take Royston to the Cave of the Sun's Inclination, where the god will heal him. In the Cave, the Doctor finds the largest of all the moai, and realizes that it's a silicon-based, voice-activated alien computer. Richards still has the rongo-rongo, but Stockwood has kept a rubbing of it, and the Doctor is able to use it to activate the moai and send Royston, Stockwood, and Leela through a matter transport beam. The rubbing is incomplete, however, and the Doctor requires the rongo-rongo to bring them back; but Richards is now obsessed with the thought of Stockwood's death, and when DaBraisse returns to the island, she tries to make a deal with him to kill the Doctor and Stockwood. DaBraisse simply orders his men to kill her and attacks the Doctor, who wins the resulting sword fight. DaBraisse falls over a cliff to his death, and the islanders drive off the leaderless Peruvians while the Doctor carries the dying Richards and the rongo-rongo to the cave. Stockwood, Leela The Eye of Heaven Royston find themselves in a vast metal city, and find that Royston's wounds have been healed by his trip through the transporter. Stockwood and The Eye of Heaven leave him to recover while they explore, and determine that the city is larger than the distance between London and Rapa Nui—and is completely deserted. Royston recovers and stumbles through a nearby moai into yet another world, and Stockwood and Leela track him through a system of moai which leads them from world to world—all of which appear to be The Eye of Heaven. They eventually catch up with Royston in the midst of a vast library, where they learn that the alien species which built this empire was devastated by war. Royston is overwhelmed with emotion at the evidence of deaths beyond counting. The Doctor arrives with the recovering Jennifer, but despite the wonders she is being exposed to, Stockwood's death is still her only priority. The Doctor manages to activate telepathic connections in the library, and the truth is finally revealed. The aliens were all but wiped out during a war, and used the moai to The Eye of Heaven their DNA in retrovirus form throughout the galaxy, intending to hide from their enemies within the bodies of other life forms and then return to repopulate their planet once the danger was past. But the plan went wrong when the isolated Polynesians on Earth, exposed to visiting Europeans, became infected with some disease to which they had no immunity—possibly the same disease which affected Tortorro's son—and passed it on to the alien species when they began travelling through the moai. Thus the alien empire was wiped out for a second time. The Doctor, however, realizes that Leela, a descendant of space travellers from Earth's future, is immune to virtually everything currently in existence—and that he can therefore use her blood to inoculate the islanders and allow them to repopulate the alien empire. Richards stabs Stockwood and kills herself, and The Eye of Heaven Leela notices that the planet's sun is changing. The aliens, fearful of invasion after suffering from a devastating war, set up a doomsday device to turn their sun supernova if any species which did not contain their DNA structure set foot on their planet. The Doctor and his friends retrace their steps through the moai, back to Rapa Nui, healing Stockwood and saving the alien world. Stockwood then decides to remain on Rapa Nui to atone for his misdeeds by protecting the villagers against other slavers and "men of knowledge" such as himself. Over the following decades, the islanders use the moai to travel to the distant homeworld and reclaim their alien inheritance. Finally, in DecemberThe Eye of Heaven the last party of islanders departs from Rapa Nui, The Eye of Heaven accompanies them to see the last sight of his life, the most wondrous sight of all; a world reborn.

This book, though an improvement on Cussler's earlier Fargo adventure, still isn't up to the mark we readers have come to expect of him. Mostly the book meanders through random puzzles, really cheesy dialogues between the main character and sudden serendipitous discoveries. The book seems to revolve too much around the main charac This book, though an improvement on Cussler's earlier Fargo adventure, still isn't The Eye of Heaven to the mark we readers have come The Eye of Heaven expect of him. The book seems to revolve too much around the main characters, what they eat, drink and wear, and less about other characters - both friend The Eye of Heaven foe. This leads to rather underdeveloped side characters and villains - of whom we hardly get any glimpses. Even old character like Selma who seems to be a character with lots and lots of connections gets a short shrift in this book, while the remaining of the research team has a blink-and-you-miss-them presence. It is side characters like Julian Perlmetter, Vice President Sandecker, Hiram Yaeger, which lend much of the fun in Dirk Pitt books - a lesson which should be implemented here. While the climax here was much better off than the previous book, it still is not in the league of the Dirk Pitt, Oregon and Bell ones. In two minds whether to continue reading this series.

I've read all the previous Fargo adventures and this is so unlike any of the previous novels I was disappointed to say the least. I doubt Cussler had very little input into this novel leaving the writing to his co author. I will not be reading another novel with this partne I've read all the previous Fargo adventures and this is so unlike any of the previous novels I was disappointed to say the least.

The dialogue was horribly cheesy and the author s spent a weird amount of time describing what the fargos ate. I normally like this series, but this book was pretty bad. Sep 23, Linda rated it it was ok. Trite, badly written, too The Eye of Heaven for an adventure novel. Nov 20, Kathy Davie rated it it was The Eye of Heaven Shelves: suspensearcheology. The focus is on a Mexican treasure. My Take I've been complaining the last couple of Fargo Adventures about the writing. This time around, I'm complaining about how blah and dull The Eye of Heaven is. The writing is okay — that prologue really made me feel the cold, the hunger, and the fear — but the action is formulaic and…boring. It's the usual prologue, The Eye of Heaven up the Vikings as the treasure leavers Sixth in the Fargo Adventure archeology suspense series and revolving around Sam and Remi Fargo. It's the usual prologue, setting up the Vikings as the treasure leavers. It is, however, extremely vague in background information. We're introduced to the big bad boy with that initial treasure hijacking attempt, just so we'll know how big and bad he is when we get to the primary storyline. How stupid are Sam and Remi? They already know Benedict will stop at nothing, that someone on the Bermudez must be a mole, and yet they don't question that necklace? Heck, even I could see who was the leak. Then there's that fabulous house of theirs with all the latest security…and they don't take into consideration eavesdroppers? The joking between Sam and Remi is cute, and a touch more believable than it was in The Mayan SecretsThe Eye of Heaven, although it has a nasty edge to it. I keep thinking they'll end up separated, it's so mean. Huh what? Remi knows Selma so well? Can see she's in a lot of pain? And she's surprised to learn that Selma has to go in for hip surgery? Where has she been while Selma's been dealing with all this pain? An interesting take on the origins of Quetzalcoatl. I guess I keep reading this because of the archeology and the Fargos' free- spending generosity, helping their friends and making it possible for hard-pressed academics and scientists to preserve history…and I do have a passion for history. This story? I'm not sure you want to waste the time reading it. The Story It's an unexpected discovery frozen in one of the bays on Baffin Island that sets the Fargos down a path that will lead them to the truth behind Quetzalcoatl and turn Toltec history and the world on its ear. The Characters Sam and Remi Fargo are retired and wealthy with a fascination for archeology. They employ a small staff who work out of their fabulous home in La Jolla, California: Selma Wondrash as their chief researcher with contacts every where while The Eye of Heaven Jeffcoat and Wendy Corden are junior researchers. Selma is also going in for a hip replacement surgery! Kendra HollingsworthSelma's niece with a double major in computer science and history, will be her replacement while she's recovering. Maribela and Dr. Antonio Casuela are sister and brother and experts on the Toltecs.
