Book-Treasure of Khan,Clive Cussler,HB-4875

Dirk Pitt's 19th adventure, the second collaboration
between father and son Clive and Dirk Cussler (after
2004's Black Wind), offers a plot as credible as it is
monstrous and the kind of exotic aquatic detail that
amazes, informs and entertains. The action, and
there's plenty of it, ranges from Siberia's Lake
Baikal and the wilds of Mongolia to the Hawaiian
islands. The treasure is that of Genghis and Kublai
Khan, the great Mongolian conqueror and his grandson.
The villain is a modern-day Mongol with dreams of
restoring national power and pride. The heroes are
Pitt, sidekick Al Giordino and Pitt's son and
daughter, Dirk Jr. and Summer, all affiliated with
Pitt's National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA).
The exploits of Pitt and company, particularly their
narrow escapes, tend toward the larger-than-life, but
these are nicely balanced by down-to-earth
explanations of such phenomena as seiche waves and oil
seeps. Shipping weight 2lbs.ISBN-13: 978-0399153693
