There are a lot of things you can say: Explain the basic premise and flavor of the book; describe the settings and characters; give a hint about the tension and conflict that make this an interesting story; mention a few choice moments, and maybe something interesting about the climax ("...careening through the historic streets of Lhasa..."), to whet the readers' appetite.
All of those things are factual tidbits, as opposed to "this book is great, you gotta read it!" comments... but they can still be compellingly written (hey, you just wrote a novel... you should be able to handle this), and they serve even better to get people thinking about your book, and why they should read it.
