Description:
"Three college buddies, two ravishing shipmates, a wealthy yachtsman (and plenty of Mexican tequila) combine and combust in this thrilling tale of a search for sunken treasure--and survival against an awesome creature of the sea." After graduating college, Jack Duran and his two best friends, Rock and Duff, are looking forward to a carefree trip around the globe--a last stab at freedom before tackling the "real world." But when Jack's vagabond brother, Dan, vanishes in Mexico, they head off instead for Puerto Vallarta on a mission to find him. Following Dan's trail of shady dealings, and fueled by a potent Mexican tequila, they soon join forces with a Bahamian yachtsman--a charismatic… eccentric with a mysterious past--and become hopelessly enamored with his two enticing shipmates. Sailing down the jungle-covered coast of Mexico, they discover that Dan was searching for a 19th-century shipwreck reputedly laden with gold. When they finally locate the sunken wreck in the bay of a remote fishing village, they enter its eerie, black waters and begin their hunt for the treasure. But, one by one, the divers begin to appear Jack soon discovers that a mysterious leviathan seems to be guarding the wreck. Could it be the fabled "Diablo Blanco"--a deadly local legend come to life? Blinded by the prospect of untold riches, Jack pursues his harrowing quest to the very brink of the abyss, bringing him finallyface-to-face with an awesome, mythical terror. A fast-paced, high-adventure thriller reminiscent of "The Deep" and "The Beach," "Dark Gold" is the hair-raising tale of a lost ship, a dark obsession, and a terrifying denizen of the deep. "I sat down with Angsten's thriller inthe afternoon, and I was still reading at 2 A.M. "Dark Gold" builds to a frantic and explosive climax." --Royce Buckingham, author of "Demon Keeper," "Taut and well-crafted. I couldn't put it down."--John Scott Shepherd, author of "Henry's List of Wrongs" and "The Dead Father's Guide to Sex & Marriage," and screenwriter for "Joe Somebody" and "Life or Something Like It""" "Sunken treasure, exotic locations, adventure and intrigue on the high seas, and a dark and disturbing undercurrent of mystery that H.P. Lovecraft himself would have been proud of are all key ingredients of David Angsten's first class roller-coaster of a novel."--Nick Redfern, author of "Three Men Seeking Monsters"
