A Great Read. I loved how the auther told two stories at once and linked them together. I found myself reading faster to see what would happen next with each story!
This novel is not incredible, but very enjoyable. Each page and chapter keeps a reader thirsting for what comes next. In a way this is both a contemporary novel and a historical. Just about every other chapter is in two different stories that are very different, but at the same time similar in theory and lesson. The characters are easy to come to admire and appreciate even the proverbial "bad guys". At times in some chapters there were parts where I felt that I was overrun with information, but then in the next part of the story I felt those two page of words were necessary after all even though while reading through them I slightly lost interest. One of the best skills as a writer that I enjoyed while reading my first novel from Tom Morrisey was the way that he opened a next chapter going from one century to another and truly weaving the stories together in a way that fit perfectly. Over all this is a pretty great book that really gets a reader into the world of contemporary treasure hunters and opens a port hole of insight into the world of repentant pirates. I recommend it.
This is a fascinating story about pirate in the Keys Islands during I think the 18th century and a treasure hunter in modern days. The story goes back & forth between time periods & the characters in each. The characters are well-developed & the story alone kept me reading to the end. Both of the main characters are dealing with issues concerning their fathers. How they resolve those issues makes for a sad ending in one case & a nice ending in the other. But the story itself feels so alive & I learned so much about the truth about pirates as well as treasure hunters.
