The Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler

Also recommended is Golden Buddha, the latest Clive Cussler which he co-wrote with Craig Dirgo. I think it is the best Cussler yet. He has evolved. Instead of only using women as the objects of sex (not such a bad thing), he now uses them as parts of his team of operatives. The men are not entirely the equivalent of teenage-fantasy machismo (not such a bad thing either). I thought the dialogue was better and not the old silly banter, but he does some of that, too. This plot has to do with returning the Dalai Lama (you remember, he was mentioned in Caddy Shack) to power in . Very well done.
