"This was a pretty interesting story, but it was a little hard to follow. The author jumps around chronologically, which makes for a faster-paced and more sensationalized story, but as a result it is hard to get a clear picture of how the treasure-salvaging business works and how this particular story unfolded. It would have been nice to have a map too: just a general one of the keys and the straits to get a general idea. But the story is fascinating nonetheless, and some of the tragedy is heart-wrenching."
"A real-life treasure hunt for the fabled Spanish treasure Galleon, Las Nuestra Señora de Atocha. The loss of life involved over the course of this one man's hunt for her is astonishing and what he sacrificed and went through...I'm about half-way through...I'm completely hooked."
