A scientific expedition, led by a beautiful woman as usual in these books, on Lake Baikal in Siberia is swamped by a huge wave. Of course, Pitt and Giordano just happen to be in the area, and come to the rescue. Then a mysterious force sinks Pitt's ship and kidnaps the scientists. Pitt's pursuit takes him o Mongolia, where he vies for Genghis Khan's treasure with a power mad billionaire. Very exciting. A worthy addition to the Cussler canon.

One of the Dirk Pitt series, Cussler combines his love of history and extensive knowledge of the sea to spin an amazing yarn. The story starts with the second failed attempt of Kublai Khan to invade Japan by sea, when a kamakaze "divine wind" typhoon destroys the Mongol warlord's invasion, marking the decline of his empire. You actually get an audience in the court of an aging Kublai Khan. Fast forward - NUMA scientists are taking seismographic readings on a lake in Siberia, to walk right into a

After reading some deeper books, I needed a break and some mind candy. Clive Cussler always fits that bill. Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are modern day adventurers who get into impossible situations and keep me entertained the whole time. I can always count on Clive Cussler to deliver a fun book.



Another great adventure...interesting to learn more about Mongolia.

This book received a lot of bad reviews recently, but I'd disagree. As a fan of the Dirk Pitt series I thought this one was quite good. We're not looking for Hemingway writing here. It's action-adventure with goofy one-liners and over-the-top criminal scenerios that are clearly improbable in a real world. Hey folks, it's fiction! You know, make believe? Anyway, Pitt battles an oil tycoon who is creating earthquakes that damage his competitors reserves. He tracks down some history and treasures

It's been awhile since I enjoyed a Clive Cussler penned novel, so it was time to revisit Dirk Pitt and Al Giordano for another action packed adventure. In this one, the NUMA boys are drawn into a devious plot by the descendants of Genghis Khan to monopolize the World's oil fields and, to do so, they employ a secret weapon that creates earthquakes. Pitt and Giordano narrowly avoid death on a number occasions and confront the Mongolian criminals in an epic finale that only Cussler could design.
