It's 1968, the Vietnam war is raging, and Captain Bruce Fisher departs the West Coast in his ship, the SS Maury, on a Trans-Pacific voyage bound for Saigon and Da Nang. En route there is a stop at Kwajalein, one of the world's largest atolls. Twenty-four years earlier Kwaj is the site of a battle devastating to the Japanese war effort, Nine-thousand Japanese soldiers wage a battle against overwhelming numbers of US marines. Fisher becomes embroiled in a desperate attempt to retrieve Yamashita's treasure, a trove of 50 tons gold bars worth millions, while at the same time he's drawn into an unexpected love affair. The gold, confiscated by the Japanese during the early years of WW II, has been the source of rumors, conjecture and unsuccessful attempts to locate it... until now. Marine pilot and master ship handler, Captain Bruce B. Fisher, Massachusetts Maritime Academy grad, with an accomplished and lengthy seagoing career has been homeported in Newport, RI. In this novel, his third, he weaves fact, legend and fiction, as he spins a tale of mystery and intrigue.
