In a month of high quality publications, this engrossing book stands out as something very special indeed. This is one of the most compelling accounts of an archaeological expedition I have ever read. Marx's ability to bring history to life is extraordinary and his account of the dangerous excavations was pure Indiana Jones stuff. DIVE Magazine The author, Robert Marx, is a colourful and controversial character in the archaeological business and not without his critics. He is well known for his treasure-hunting expeditions around the world. Some say he sails close to the wind in his navigation between archaeology and outright treasure hunting. Such a controversial approach inevitably involves dramatic 'adventures' which, while not necessarily gaining universal approval, assure the reader of a fascinating and exciting ride.
