A work of fiction, or should I say fantesy. The tale starts with a
flashback from WWII in China, and from that a flashback to the time in
the 1200s when the Kahn of China attempted to invade Japan. Then to the
present when a NUMA team is aboard a Russian research vessel on Lake
Baikal in Siberia. The action travels to Mongolia where much of the
action takes place, but Hawaii, the Arabian Gulf, and the coast of
China also figure. At its core the story revolves around Mongolian
history and modern day oil. The writing is not of as high a quality of
a few of the other Cussler novels I have read, or listeded to. More
than half of this helped occupy time on a long drive across Texas. This
is mind candy. Taken as a whole an overload. It could easily have been
edited to half its length and still have been a credible novel.
