4.0 out of 5 stars All in all, the Treasure of Khan was a fun read, 29 Nov 2007
This review is from: Treasure of Khan: A Dirk Pitt Novel (Paperback)
I always buy any new Clive Cussler book the day that it arrives in stores. The last few years, I've been dissapointed with each new addition to the series. Don't get me wrong, Clive Cussler is still my favorite author, but his writing just seems very stale and fomulaic lately. This book was still very formulaic along the lines of almost all past books, but it had a lot more character to it that made it seem like I was reading an old friend again.

Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are getting older in the series, but I'm one fan that is hoping they continue to have more adventures in the years to come. The idea of bringing in the kids of Dirk Pitt (Dirk Jr and Summer) seems to be not really coming together well. They are given bit roles and not fully introduced if they are going to be the main characters in future books. All in all, the Treasure of Khan was a fun read, and it was nice to feel like Clive was back writing with more character!! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Long Time Fan, 26 Jan 2007
Ok I admit it I am absolutely addicted to reading books by Clive Cussler ever since I dare say it, chose the first book I read by him by thinking the cover looked good.Recently though I think Cussler has gone through somewhat of a rocky patch.He has recently started to combine his talents with different authors and for me it hasn't really worked.Even when writing with an equally brilliant writer like Jack DuBrul there just seemed that the 2 authors combined were not as good as they are individually.This book is different from that as Clive writes with his son Dirk and the book is very fluid and I was captivated from page one.He is back to doing what he does best and that is grabbing the reader on the first page and throwing them into a complex world of adventure and intrigue. I think what helped with this on this book was that Clive decided to dust down the original team of Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino.Don't get me wrong I think his other characters are Ok but these are the two for me that have made Clive Cussler the greatest adventure writer of his time.Speaking of which it looks as though avid fans like me don't have anything to worry about when the Grandmaster of Adventure does eventually hang up his adventure boots for the last time as his son demonstartes in this book that he is more than capable of taking up his fathers mantle. Some people would compare this novel closely with his previous novel Sahara which was also set in the desert but for me that is where the similarity ends.In summary this is Cussler at his best long may he continue!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cussler is back!, 2 Dec 2006
By D. Carter "humbugmike" (Far north Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hooray, after a couple of lost years, CC is back in fine form; the original and genuine Dirk and Al ( no franchise extending pseudo-sprogs here) battle a megalomanic mongol horde with more booms, bangs, whooshes and pings than you can shake your doxa at! Ignore the patchy research ( Lake Baikal hasn't looked like that in 30 years, sadly), suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride!
