I enjoyed it so much, I read it without getting up. John is one of those extraordinarily talented people who you too rarely run into...Part of what makes him a great writer, is his phenomenal gift for detail. Reading his book, was like walking back in time to the days when treasure hunting, in the Florida Keys and along what is now called Florida's Treasure Coast, was just beginning. --Dr. E. Lee Spence
