Clive Cussler's Treasue starts out like any other og his books. On this historic flashback, a roman named Julies Vernator sails a fleet of ships carrying a unknown cargo across the ocean. He hides the cargo in a cave somewhere on the unknown continent they sailed to. Vernator and his crew come under attack by primitives and never make it back to Spain. One ship makes it away and it's final resting place was unknown. Many centuries later, Dirk Pitt stumbles across the wreck of the ship and an assination endeavor on the Egptian Secretary General, Hala Kamil. The mystery unfolds as Pitt tries to find the treasure that was mentioned on tablets in the sunken ship. The treasure just happens to be a portion of the Library of Alexandia. NUMA is recruited to help find the Ehyptian national treasure so that the Egyptian leader, President Hasan, can stay in office a little longer so that a terrorist leader named Akmid Yazid does not take over Egypt. In his insane endeavor to take over Egypt, Yazid orders his mercenaries to steal a ship with the Egyptian and Mexican leaders on board.

Treasure's protagonist is again the indestructible, larger-than-life, and incurable Casanova, Dirk Pitt. This time he is on the search for treasures from the ancient Library of Alexandra. And these treasures are to be found in a place where nobody would expect them to be! While searching for the treasure, Dirk has to contend with hardened international criminals, terrorists and other unsavory characters. Dirk's own father is taken hostage in a conspiracy to take control of Egypt and Mexico and Dirk has to rescue him and some other world-influential people out of the situation. The novel is a real page-turner filled with over-the-top action, adventure and suspense and I would think the best of Clive Cussler's books that I have read thus far.

Of course, Karl May wrote 120 years ago and created the hero Apache Chief Winnetou who was the idol of every joungster in Germany when I grew up; we loved the American Indians for their bravery in their struggle against homicide by the western Christians and their mass murder weapons against the natives of this continent. Clive Cussler brings the old struggle back to life with Dirk Pitt. Great reading.

Once again Clive Cussler wrote another exciting story and maybe that's why I consider him one of the best writers out there today. The story line follows a rich family that is trying to take over Mexico and Egypt. However, a few people need to be murdered to make this happen. Then up pops Dirk Pitt to put a monkey wrench into their plan. The story moved along at a fast pace and there was plenty of action. The plot was great, and I tried to guess what would happen subsequent but didn't really succeed. If you want a thrilling read for a change I recommend this book.

Clive has certainly come thru this time. Though some of his novels can be pedantic and repetitive, this seems to have a fair amount of originality while also having enough maturity in his writing. A good, fun adventure.
