Can you smuggle some thirty-five million dollars worth of gold openly and so audaciously that no one can catch you when you carry it from Houston to Cochin on the high seas using a sailboat? Dr. Mohan Reddy, an American metallurgist, does it, and he does it successfully. The gold bars were accidentally found by him in a jungle in Texas. The original thief of the gold comes to know about his loss and keeps an eagle’s eye on Mohan all the time. What about Mohan’s own challenges? The movement of gold bars within the US is the first one. The next one is converting the shape of gold amenable for transportation, a metallurgical nightmare. What about the treacherous Atlantic Ocean? What about the pirates of the Arabian Sea? What about the moles placed by the original thief of the gold on his sailboat? What about converting the gold into legal money? Most importantly, how would he handle the whole perilous caper all alone and without any latitude for error or failure?

The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

In 1656, a Spanish ship sinks under less than usual circumstances, and certainly not where treasure hunters of today expect. Where is the final resting place of the Maravilla, along with the gold, silver, and emeralds her hold contains? A Florida antique dealer, Ted Brewer, quite by accident finds a sketch with the necessary clues to the old ship's location. Unfortunately for him there is another who realizes Brewer is holding the key to a vast fortune, and is willing to brutalize and kill him for that information. Brewer, however, has insured the safety of his secret by sending half the sketch to his sister, Jennifer, and the remaining half to his old and trusted Marine Corps buddy, Jake Bottom. Jake, since his retirement from the Corps, has become an expatriated American, living on a houseboat in the Bahamas. His biggest problem, on any given day, is whether or not to leave his hammock and go sailing on his forty-one foot sloop, or just swing in his hammock out of the sun. Jake and Jennifer team up to solve the mystery of the two halves of the map and along with a reprobate friend of his, Mike Flynn, the three sail in search of riches. Cortez, a Columbian drug lord, has killed once for the sketch, and is not hesitant to do so again. With dogged determination, he hunts the three, as they attempt to keep him blind to their actions. No matter their precautions, Jennifer is nonetheless kidnapped by Cortez and taken prisoner aboard his luxurious yacht. Jake, who has become completely infatuated with his recent lady companion, and Flynn must somehow retrieve Jennifer, yet not lose their claim to the fortune awaiting them. The plan is complex. Using every bit of his sailing skills, and along with Flynn's expertise with demolitions, the two leap into the breech with little real chance of complete success. Dave Corbett grew up in the small, west coast, Florida town of Venice, where his love for sailing and boats in general began. After graduation from the University of Florida, he joined the United States Marine Corps, which he retired from as a full colonel in 1991. During his twenty-eight years of flying fighter jets, he commanded five organizations including a Harrier squadron, a Support Group, and a Marine Air Ground Task Force. Upon his retirement, in 1990, he lived his dream aboard a 41-foot sloop, sailing the winter months in the Bahama Islands for thirteen years. Corbett now resides, with his wife Donna, in Backus, MN during the summer and Lake Placid, FL when the snow flies up north.
