Synopsis
Thousands of years ago, Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars. In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumble across the pillars. Unable to transport them, Napoleon created a map on the labels of twelve wine bottles. Treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a German U-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's "lost cellar". Fascinated, the Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection. But another connoisseur of sorts has been looking for the bottle. Hadeon Bondaruk – a millionaire who claims descent from King Xerxes himself. And the treasure will be his, no matter what . . .
