About this listen
From the frigid lakes of Siberia to the hot wastes of the Gobi desert, Dirk Pitt is on the trail of fabled treasure . . .
Rescuing an oil survey team from a freak wave on Russia's Lake Baikal is all in a day's work for adventurers Dirk Pitt and partner Al Giordino. Yet when their ship is sabotaged and the survey team vanishes, Pitt is forced to get to the bottom of a mystery with far-reaching consequences.
Soon he's on his way to Mongolia. There, a powerful and ruthless business tycoon holding an astonishing secret about Genghis Khan is hoping to emulate the legend's greatest conquests—but on a global scale!
With the legacy of Khan and the lost treasures of Xanadu as the prize and the future security of the world at stake, Dirk Pitt for one isn't going to stand idly by . . .
Treasure of Khan is the nineteenth of Clive Cussler's bestselling Dirk Pitt novels and is co-authored with his son Dirk Cussler.
Science, Action, Humanity and Fun.. all rolled into a great story that keeps you wanting to know what is going to happen next!
Very enjoyable!

Great storyline

There are so many boring plot points going on in this book, it's ridiculous. They all end up tying together only by the most meagre of connections. Shall I list them? Let's see, there's the one about the map to Kahn's treasure (mentioned in the prologue and then not again for another 13 hours), the oil tycoon kidnapping oil experts, same tycoon creating a super weapon that causes earthquakes, the unresolved discovery of a medieval Chinese ship by the Pitt children (who are merely in the book just because they can be and contribute absolutely nothing to the overall "story").
The characters are one-dimensional and shallow. I didn't care about any of them. And I hate when authors write themselves into the story. It's tacky. I feel as if Clive stopped writing and let his talentless son write instead. Don't buy this book. It's a waste of time.
A boring mess of disparate plot threads
