Review (not rated)
by Tom Greco
Ship of Gold has been advertised as a thriller similar to Into Thin Air and Perfect Storm. Having read all three, I enjoyed Ship of Gold far more than the other two. As Kinder states on the final page it is a story of two frontiers--the gold rush of 1849 and deep sea discovery. The book's protagonist, Tommy Thompson, makes the story a most compelling read. Great writing from Gary Kinder.

I had read Longitude and Latitude, also The Perfect Storm. Each time I thought it could not be topped but I do say this book Ship of Gold was fabulous from begining to end. If you have read either of the other books I mention you must read this book.
