Overview

Two generations. One legendary treasure. An epic adventure through the stormy seas of history. In the shadowy, hurricane-ravaged Florida Keys, the young blacksmith turned pirate, Smith, embarks on a treacherous journey to honor the legacy of his mentor, the legendary Caesar. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of historical piracy, the narrative sweeps through the 16th to 18th centuries, where ambitious Spanish explorers ruthlessly amassed treasures from Native American societies, shipping their ill-gotten gains back to a desperate Spain. Among this swirling maelstrom of ambition and conquest, a real-life treasure emerges in Florida-who could have imagined? Centuries later, the truth behind this treasure and its piratical past beckons two very different generations. George, now the seasoned mentor, and Billy, his eager protégé and the story's narrator, embark on the adventure of a lifetime to unearth Caesar's legendary hoard.

""...I give this 5 plus stars, not just because I am a big fan of B. William Hoolihan and want to read whatever this author writes, but because the various generations and back story bring reminisces of life, and a path, that sometimes we don't choose, but it chooses us. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story. The narrator, Bill, tells the story of George and how he made an impact on his life, and sometimes, Bill was the one who knew when to say no. George was set in his life, smoking, drinking, and storytelling. George and Bill embark on a quest to find Black Caesar, a legendary Pirate, and this sets the course for Bill's passion with pirates and treasure hunting. George and Bill didn't find the treasure, but always thought they were close, and then, life and death get in the way. B. William Hoolihan knows how to bring his own experience and knowledge into the stories that he writes, and this reader felt the passion behind the words, as if the author were taking us back in time in his own life...""
