Treasure of Khan
by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler is another of the stack of books we
received from a coworker of my husband's. It is an action packed
story which ties a possible event in history to a fictional series of
events set in the present day.
History made
pertinent to hair raising modern day events is an interesting theme
that seems to be common in Cussler's stories. I like it. The
descriptions of guns and detail about fight scenes (when they get
bloody), not so much. He definitely writes for a male audience!
This story involves
the children of the main character, which I found a really
interesting plot twist. Especially because the main character, Dirk
Pitt, didn't know about them until they were basically adults and
their mother was dead (which we learn in this book).
Action and mystery
weave together throughout this story. It's interesting how Cussler
alludes to some things and allows others to be complete surprises.
I did like this
novel. It is definitely for an adult audience, primarily because of
the nature of the action scene as well as some of the interactions
between characters. My children will not read it any time soon,
though I'm sure my eldest would enjoy it because she loves mysteries
and actions packed scenes.
Have you read
Treasure of Khan by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler? What did
you think of it?
