Sunken Treasure
Thomas Max Publishing
In 1659, a Spanish galleon filled with treasure sailed from Veracruz, Mexico. After a short stop for supplies in Havana it left on its long voyage to Spain. It was sunk in a hurricane on a reef off the coast of Haiti, and no one knew what happened to it. About 350 years later an ancient parchment document was discovered in the archives of a museum in Havana that brought the subject of that galleon to a small U.S. Navy crew that worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence. It led Captain Al Jacobs and his crew on a fascinating adventure. This is the fifth novel in Rubin's series, which also includes Chasing Pirates, The Counterfeit War, The Missing Bomb, and U-Boat Secret Mission.
Reader reviews:
"Harry Rubin takes his small U.S. navy crew, led by Al Jacobs, on a treasure hunt that is critical because of the superstition about a gold statue which in an odd way could give a brutal dictator political power. The story begins in the Caribbean in 1659 with a hurricane and a Spanish ship sunk in the storm. A character of Harry Rubin's previous books, James Neale, now as Commander of the USS Keystone rescues a beautiful woman alone in a sinking sailboat and discovers from her story the potential of a sunken treasure from that seventeenth century storm. When the story reaches the Office of Naval Intelligence the critical consequences of the treasure falling into the wrong hands is enough to send Al Jacobs and his team in search. It is a good read."
