520    Most copies of The Travels of Marco Polo leave out a great
       deal and are difficult to decipher. Yet when one original 
       manuscript lands in the hands of Lieutenant Jonathan Daly,
       he's able to translate the tale well enough to discover 
       the trail to a chest of fabulous red stones buried with 
       the long-dead Emperor of China, Kubla Kahn. An offering to
       the gods to light the leader's way to heaven, the 
       glittering stones are worth several million dollars, as 
       they are diamonds. Recently recovered from a bout of 
       malaria and two bullet holes collected in war-ravaged Gran
       Chaco, Lieutenant Daly sets out on his treasure travels, 
       ignoring warnings from friends and doctors. He follows 
       Marco Polo's words straight into a dark maze of betrayal, 
       espionage and death--with more riding on each precious 
       line of text than he ever imagined--Book jacket.
