Malo and Cayuga but I found this, the third and final book of the trilogy to be the strongest. As with the previous two Max Dean adventures, the historical backstories are beautifully interwoven into the main plot and this time features a beautiful Israelite, enslaved woman and her Roman lover as well as Sir Isaac Newton (who may have discovered gravity but, here, suitably for a Max Dean adventure, is looking for alchemy and love in all of the wrong places). I loved third and final chapter of the Max Dean trilogy in which our now septuagenarian hero journeys from West Angeles to the land of Genghis Khan with his wife Janey and a zany group of new sidekicks. Besides also being a published poet and songwriter, Larry is the co-host of the internationally popular podcast, The Beverly Hills 90210 Show. Turning to long form, Road to Shambala is Larry's third novel in the Max Dean adventure series.

Larry returned to the theatre world in 2012 with a 1960's-themed trilogy of plays produced in New York City, London and Martha's Vineyard. He's best known for his work on Beverly Hills, 90210 for which he wrote and produced one-hundred twenty-eight hours from 1993-1998 the zenith of the show's success. Transitioning to Hollywood he became a writer and producer of Prime Time TV for over 30 years beginning with CHiPs. Madness ensues as another Max Dean adventure tale blazes across continents and a millennium or two.Before moving to Los Angeles, Larry Mollin was a playwright and Artistic Director of Toronto, Canada's Homemade Theatre, a seminal performance group of the 1970's. On the journey to Shambala, Max is aided by an ancient Kazak, his wife's philandering, first-husband, a local, lady pugilist and an ex-rock and roll roadie, smuggler king.

A dying Siberian, mining titan with the money to move mountains and a rogue army, is more determined than ever to find Teresa and the fabled treasure of Genghis Khan. In the Altai Mountains on the border between Kazakhstan, Mongolia and southern Siberia, Max is not the only one after his unscrupulous, mother-in-law. Teresa holds the secret to the location of Shambala, an underground valley of eternal life. Max Dean, the blissfully retired private detective, writer, and music biz, security consultant, is thrust into a perilous search for his new wife's reckless mother.
