Treasure of Khan
Clive Cussler

Fiction

“Dirk Pitt’s 19th adventure offers a plot as credible as it is monstrous and the kind of exotic aquatic detail that amazes, informs and entertains. 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. The action, and there’s plenty of it, ranges from Siberia’s Lake Baikal and the wilds of Mongolia to the Hawaiian islands.”
