«Sea Gold» by Ian Slater

“A first-rate, crisply told adventure story” of espionage, murder, and intrigue on the high seas from the bestselling author of the WWIII novels (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).The great gold rushes of history pale in comparison to the vast mineral deposits that await discovery below the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Vancouver. As adventure— and fortune-seekers flock to the area, their lives intertwine in a perilous game of greed and ambition. Some want glory, others wealth. But for all of them, the pursuit of sea gold has become an obsession.Against a raging sea storm, the crews of three ships resort to espionage, sabotage, and murder, each hoping to claim the ore that is so vital to America’s aerospace industry. Who will survive the storm? And who will win the race when coming in second means coming in dead?«As impelling a storyteller as you're likely to encounter.» —Clive Cussler, New York Times-bestselling author of Havana Storm“Thrilling, fast-paced . . . Sea Gold combines a high sense of adventure with excellent character and story development. . . . An out-and-out winner.” —The Hamilton Spectator“Full of furious action.” —Quill and Quire
