Book Report Time, The Treasures of Khan

A great book, loved it.
Clive Cussler, best book so far.
He ties in some sort of history thing about Genghis Khan.
Dirk Pitt and Al Giordine, start saving the day right at the crack of the first page.
It starts with a seiche wave thats 30 feet tall, and a old resreach ship(that moving about 15 mph)that is trying to out run this wave, that is moving at 100+ miles per hour.
And when you just think there going to make it.
They pull over, and stop to help this little fishing boat, to save the little fish men, and the pretty researcher.
To save the crew of the fishing boat, Al bring over decompression chamber, and the crew of 5, squeeze inside just before the mighty wave hit the boat and knocks the chamber over board, into and 1000 foot deep lake.
Meanwhile, Dirk Pitt puts on his diving gear and jumps off of the fishing boat because there is no room in the chamber and dives under the face of the 30 foot wave. Way cool.LOLOLOL You will have to read the book to see how it comes out.:)

Good ol' Dirk Pitt, Zachariah loves those books! This does sound like a good one. If I'm ever outrunning a giant ocean wave, I'll remember these ways to survive it ;)
