This book, based on the true life stories of treasure hunter Howard Jennings, was actually responsible for opening up the earth of exploration for me. At the time I 1st see it, I was working as a private investigator and I distinct to find out if his stories were actually true. In my efforts to find Jennings, I spoke with Robin Moore, who told me that Jennings had unluckily died a few years earlier in a commercial airplane crash in Istanbul, piece on the trail of one of the greatest treasures of his career.

This terrific book is essential reading for treasure hunters, prospectors, adventurers and explorers. It divine me to be able to eventually do a comfortable, full-time living as an explorer. I believe you wish find it as compelling as I did.
