When Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino rescue an oil survey team from a massive wave on Russia's Lake Baikal, they suspect a natural disaster—until the scientists disappear and their research vessel becomes the target of sabotage. Their investigation leads to Mongolia, where a ruthless oil tycoon is secretly manipulating international energy markets while plotting to restore the empire of his legendary ancestor, Genghis Khan. As Pitt and the NUMA team uncover connections between the modern conspiracy and the lost treasures of Kublai Khan's fabled capital, Xanadu, the danger spreads from Siberia's icy waters to the vast Gobi Desert. With powerful enemies determined to protect their secrets, Pitt must uncover the ancient treasure before it finances a devastating new campaign of conquest. Perfect for readers craving a globe-spanning adventure filled with ancient mysteries, underwater danger, political intrigue, and high-stakes suspense.
