Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Dick
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Nothing like true stories to capture the imagination. Congratulations to everyone involved, from the writer to the adventurers and from the publisher to the courts who ruled that "finders are keepers!"

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Anonymous
Mr. Kinder spent HUGE amount of time to research and write a 500 page history of an historic event. And yet.......not one photo among all those pages. Nothing more then a few postage stamp size pix on back cover.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Ken
This book demonstrates the best of human inventiveness, persistence, and vision! I loved it! The author lets us get to know the Central America and its passengers and crew, then they focus on the recovery, with all of the amazing hurdles encountered. One of the best books I've read! If you like "Perfect Storm," you will love this one.

more information is needed

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by CINDY
While reading, thought it must be fiction because it was so farfetched - but felt like it must be something that really happened. Did a search on internet and sure enough - it is a true story. INCREDIBLE STORY.

Wonderful tale - wish I could have been one of the 160 partners. Had not heard of this gold recovery- thought it was fiction at first. Well done Tommy Thompson!!
