Typical Cussler novel - exciting, yet "far out" on reality.

A fast moving story line that is typically Cussler. Story line background and characters well described and integrated into the story.

All Action Novel!

In Treasure of Khan a mysterious Mongolian tycoon is set on cornering the oil market, by destroying oil terminals, using secret technology, thus severly disrupting oil supplies.

My expectations were not too high when I started to read this book, as I found some of this author's more recent novels to be poor, such as Dark Wind and Sacred Stone. Treasure of Khan is something of an improvement on those books.

It is fairly stand Cussler fare, with one-dimensional bad guys, the damsel in distress, the main protagonists having enormous strokes of luck (doors being inconceivably unlocked, guards looking the wrong way at convienient moments etc.), that leave you raising your eyes to the heavens.

However, there is always action going on in the storyline, and it kept my interest, throughout. Not this author's best or worst. Three stars at a push.

Genghis Khan almost conquered the world. Now, one man wants to finish the job-unless Dirk Pitt can stop him.
