Treasure of Khan is Clive Cussler's nineteenth Dirk Pitt thriller.
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 - the series that also includes Shock Wave and, his first novel, Mayday - and is co-authored with his son Dirk Cussler.
Praise for Clive Cussler:
'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail
At the nasty bits, you feel like someone coming across a meat-cleaver in a cot
—— John CareyThis is a beautifully written book with a sophisticated plot, rich in both action and atmosphere . . . this could well be Rozan's break-out book
—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)A tremendously satisfying book
—— Chicago TribuneA reader would be hard-pressed to find a more likable or more disparate duo than the middle-aged, rawboned, moody and sarcastic Smith and the 20-something, small, agile and quick-witted Chin
—— Los Angeles TimesAs usual, it's a fast-paced, rip-roaring ride. Great characters, intricate plotting, and an exotic locale, beautifully described - Who could ask for anything more? This is definitely a don't-miss book in a don't miss series
—— Booklist (starred review)Shuttling between oracular Chinese apothegms and steadily mounting action, Rozan ladles out the complications with a generous hand, yet keeps everything clear. Tough to top
—— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)If you like your YA witch stories with a difference then I suggest picking up a copy The Circle... [I'm]excited for the next one.
—— Totally BookaliciousThe most interesting book to come out of Sweden this year, and it’s not another crime thriller!

—— Serendipity ReviewsTense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire
—— MeMyBooksandIWitches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.
—— www.sugarscape.comThis book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
