Treasure of Khan (Abridged) Audiobook

" I've read and enjoyed more Cussler novels than I can count, but this one lost me. The signature "early event" was too long. The villain wasn't identified until I lost interest. Gonna return this one. "

" Clive Cussler's writing I enjoy always a pleasure to read. "

" decent adventure novel. Not one of his best but not one of his worst either. "

" Every now and then you just need to check in with Mr. Cussler to find out what Dirk Pitt has been doing lately. The Treasure of Khan was acceptable for this genre, but definitely not one of Mr. Cussler's best. "

" I really enjoy all the culural aspects & explanations "

" was ok.. i don't like when media tries to dehumanize characters to make them "worthy" of death "

" Although the novels can be a bit predictable and have a similar mix of: historic fact updated into a fictional discovery often with a Mr Big or Corporation trying to take over the world I still love the research used by Mr Cussler to bring the events to life. I know the gun-ho action etc is very tongue in cheek and unbelieveable- a cross between Bond and Biggles there is still a good entertainment value in each book. This book has the historical facts based around Gengis Khan leading to a treasure hunt. Again the action takes place in various countries mixed in with some interesting travel guide type information and colour. As I said most of his books follow similar structures and format but I do enjoy the overall effect and the fantasy of Cussler's novels the pure get away from it all attitude. Very entertaining. "

" This book was pretty well thought out and had a lot of detail that was fun to check up on. I think I will have to read a couple more of his books to really get a feel for the author's style. Maybe once I am used to the style and reread this book in a year or two I will add more stars to my rating. For a modern adventure novel it was clean of sex, excessive swearing and language--but I got quite an education in various alcoholic beverages. Would recommend it. "

" Enjoyable, entertaining, fun, but the plot really does stretch it quite a bit :) "

" I only read the Dirk Pitt series from Clive Cussler. They are all kinda on the same line, disaster, save the damsel in distress, sleep with the damsel in distress, save the world and find the treasure. But, I have to read them all because they are well written. "

" Sometimes I just want to be entertained... a little action/adventure from Cussler does the trick. "

" I am absolutely IN LOVE with the DIRK PITT character! Where are all our heros??? "

" Good mindless fun. Genghis and Kublai Khan and oil crisis and Dirk to save the day. "

" Mongolian rich man had Khan's lost body and found oil he wanted to sell to th eChinese in exchange for exorbitant rates and independence for Mongolians. "

" The first Cussler book always gets you hooked. "

" How does he do it? Clive keeps you guessing and even adds a guest, himself as usual. This book mirrors the exciting news about Gangis Khan's burial site. This is book mixed new technology with past history into a books that keeps you guessing. "

" Vintage Cussler with fast-paced adventures on the high seas. A fun read. "

" Good but a lil predictable, lol. Better not piss off Pitt! "

" This is one of my favorite cussler books! I love how the is so much research that goes into his stories. "

" awsome book, ive got it "

" After reading some deeper books, I needed a break and some mind candy. Clive Cussler always fits that bill. Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are modern day adventurers who get into impossible situations and keep me entertained the whole time. I can always count on Clive Cussler to deliver a fun book. "

" It's a "guilty pleasure" read. Cussler's books are pretty predictable and reflect a worldview that is a little askew from my Christian one. But the good guy always wins. "

" An entertaining adventure! Great easy reading that keeps you engrossed. "

" Dirt Pitt is back and he is on the trail of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. This is fast paced and an easy read. You may need to suspend some hold on reality, but the fiction is fun. I always enjoy the adventures of Dirk. "

" His books are all so good! "

" This is an exciting adventure novel with no dirty words in over 500 pages. I even learned some history about the Kahn family, both Genghis and Kubli. "

" The motorcycle in the desert is great, but neither it nor the plane make it home to the Hanger... shocking to me, but thank heavens something does.. find out yourself, lol. "

" Typical Cussler adventure book...entertaining in a James Bond kind of way. Good vacation book. "

" Troppo lungo. La storia è interessante (anche l'introduzione lunga), ma diventa dispersivo e con ben poca dell'azione che ci si aspetta da un libro di Dirk Pitt. "

" A good adventure story and very timely, earthquakes and oil. Dirk Cussler is now helping his dad write so there is a slight difference detectable in the writing style. Still, this is a fun story and a great mindless escape. "

" Vintage Cussler with fast-paced adventures on the high seas. A fun read. "

" Some interesting elements, but a bit drawn out. "

" Clive cussler memang Jawaranya bikin cerita petualangan!!! "

" Dirk Pitt is such a lovable character. I like it how he puts his life on the line for total strangers and not only that, but goes way out of his way to save them! I also like it how in his books Cussler puts himself as one of the minor characters. "

" I really need to give up these Dirk Pitt adventures because they just get worse with each one I read. "

" was ok.. i don't like when media tries to dehumanize characters to make them "worthy" of death "

" Good quick read. Got a couple of the charactors confused in the middle, but it all worked out once i got it & enjoyed the story. "

" I like Cussler books, they are fun to read, they occupy the 4 hour plane trip really well. Don't hope for more than that from them, BUT, that said, this book just had too many improbable situations that they escaped from. I know, that is his formula, but this one, well, just too many. "

" Another good Dirk Pitt adventure! I didn't relise the earlyer books were following Dirk's father, I got a bit confushed when they started mentioning both of them. Good exciting plot. Recommened! "
