"This is my first novel by Roger Weston, and I love his story-telling skills. Apparently I've been living under a rock since I haven't gotten acquainted with his work before. The fact that the author has spent time on many ships lends depth and credibility to the tale. His use of historical details adds a layer of interest to the story." "Well worth the reading."

Shipwreck expert and archaeologist Jake Sands is beaten up on his fishing boat after he rescues a beautiful but traumatized and incoherent young woman in a storm in the Puget Sound from a sinking power boat. He does not know who the woman was or why he was attacked by an assault team and left unconscious after saving her. After a life-threatening episode, the danger is only beginning. As Jake begins to investigate the fate of the now missing girl, he receives disturbing threats. In an action-packed thriller of events full of twists and turns, he realizes that something was accidently left on his boat by the mysterious young lady, an ancient relic that could upset the world’s power structure and change two thousand years of history. He should never have kept the relic and tried to get answers about the girl. But he did—and uncovered an ancient conspiracy tied to a seventeenth century shipwreck. Now he’s on a dangerous mission, in a deadly game, playing against masters.
The search has begun. And death has been unleashed... A team of scientists is missing.
