It's a fun read, but there are some obvious misunderstandings related to Buddhism in this book. Also, I'm not sure the Dalai Lama would have approved or taken part in concocting a plan that resulted in loss of life, even if it meant getting Tibet back.
That said, it was a nice diversion. I'm hopeful that it isn't Cussler's best work, though. I'm going to give another one of his books a shot because my dad recommended his work to me multiple times over the past 20 years and I'm finally getting around to checking him out. When I read fiction, it's normally sci-fi or fantasy.
