The times we are living in have forced Buck Reilly to question his purpose in life.
Once a world-renowned archaeologist and treasure hunter who had lost everything, Buck had fled to Key West to operate Last Resort Charter and Salvage aboard a pair of antique amphibious aircraft.
Now, tired of being broke, Buck digs out his old maps, clues, and research to some of the world's most lucrative missing treasures to start afresh.
Until one of his worst enemies shows up at his door to demand help in finding the missing Queen's Dowry that sank with eleven Spanish Galleons in 1715 off Florida's east coast. Why would Buck help them?
Because they have Buck's brother hostage and will kill him if the former archaeologist refuses or fails.
The ensuing odyssey pits him against the people who had cost him his former success, family, and wealth, which led to his self-exile to Key West.
But there is no escaping this time.
The rocky road takes a surprise and brutal path that leads to mind blowing discoveries and a life-or-death confrontation that blows Buck's reclusive world irrevocably apart.
