Description
Clive Cussler’s astonishing new Dirk Pitt® adventure.
Black Wind continued Dirk Pitt’s meteoric career with one of Cussler’s most audacious, and well-received, novels yet: “Black Wind more than maintains the supercharged Cusslerian danger” (Kirkus Reviews); “Thriller fans will revel in this action-packed yarn” (Publishers Weekly). But now Cussler takes an extraordinary leap, with one of his most remarkable villains ever.
Genghis Khan–the greatest conqueror of all time, who at his peak ruled an empire that stretched from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea. His conquests are the stuff of legend, his tomb a forgotten mystery. Until now.
When Dirk Pitt is nearly killed rescuing an oil survey team from a freak wave on Russia’s Lake Baikal, it appears a simple act of nature. But when the survey team is abducted and Pitt’s research vessel nearly sunk, it’s obvious there’s something more sinister involved. All trails lead to Mongolia, and a mysterious mogul who is conducting covert deals for supplying oil to the Chinese, while wreaking havoc on global oil markets with deadly acts of sabotage. The Mongolian harbors a dream of restoring the conquests of his ancestors, and holds a dark secret about Genghis Khan that just might give him the wealth and power to make the dream come true.
Filled with breathtaking suspense and extraordinary imagination, his new novel is yet further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

October 9, 2006
Dirk Pitt's 19th adventure, the second collaboration between father and son Clive and Dirk Cussler (after 2004's Black Wind
), offers a plot as credible as it is monstrous and the kind of exotic aquatic detail that amazes, informs and entertains. The action, and there's plenty of it, ranges from Siberia's Lake Baikal and the wilds of Mongolia to the Hawaiian islands. The treasure is that of Genghis and Kublai Khan, the great Mongolian conqueror and his grandson. The villain is a modern-day Mongol with dreams of restoring national power and pride. The heroes are Pitt, sidekick Al Giordino and Pitt's son and daughter, Dirk Jr. and Summer, all affiliated with Pitt's National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA). The exploits of Pitt and company, particularly their narrow escapes, tend toward the larger-than-life, but these are nicely balanced by down-to-earth explanations of such phenomena as seiche waves and oil seeps. 750,000 first printing.

- content: Scott Brick narrates with exacting diction and high energy to propel this thriller from Siberian lakes to the Gobi Desert. Anyone hoping for an airtight plot will be disappointed. But many listeners won't care because the action is warp speed and over-the-top. Scott Brick narrates with the maneuverability of a 1953 Czech JAWA 500 OHC motorcycle--like the very one driven at perilous speeds by hero Dirk Pitt. Facing down the descendants of Genghis Khan, he takes on all comers and surmounts all obstacles as he seeks to uncover the location of the lost treasure of Xanadu before it falls into the hands of a megalomaniac tyrant. What fun! K.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
- premium: True
- source:
- content: With calm, but rising intensity, Richard Ferrone reads the adventure story of Genghis and Kublai Kahn, a lost tomb, hidden treasure, and undiscovered oil fields in China. Although Ferrone's pacing is careful and understated, and his characterizations incorporate gender differences and ages with vocal nuances, he can't overcome the deficiencies inherent in the book--an unbelievable plot and formulaic writing. Although the story begins with the promise of adventure, it quickly devolves and begins to seem merely repetitive. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
