Book Review By Thomas
Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo

The Organization is hired by the CIA to steal the Golden Buddha which contains documents about oil deposits in the country of Tibet. The Organization is going to use the Golden Buddha as a bargaining chip so that the Dalai Lama can return to Tibet and the Chinese will leave the country. Only, it will not be easy for the Organization to steal the Golden Buddha.
A fake Buddha has been made and greedy billionaires are in possession of it.
