Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposing secrets . . . gathering mercy . . . A dark shadow has fallen over the land of Zurkia. Prince Narken, also known as the Dark Prince, has gained his throne in the north, demanding the retrieval of what he believes to be his greatest source of power: a mysterious glowing stone known only as “the orb.” None dare contest his claim to power, nor his obsessive quest to find the stolen object, lest they too be discarded in the castle dungeon. Meanwhile, his niece, Princess Raja and her friends Pavel and Jafar visit Great Aunt Vermisha in Valetta Castle, where they uncover secrets of the past about Raja’s uncle’s cruel and illegal practices. Inevitably, via the words of a wise man and a bribery of gold ingots, both Raja and Narken learn of the orb’s surely unreachable resting place. Thus begins a race against time in the Land of Rousse, as Narken seeks to regain the orb at all costs and Raja aims to intervene, hoping to ultimately keep it away from the Dark Prince. With so much jealousy, evil, and manipulation at work, is it possible to find a resolution based in mercy? Sailing towards an unknown horizon, Raja has no choice but to remain brave in order to unmask the truth.

Book excerpt: This popular book has been out of print since 1995 and unavailable for a number of years now, so this [fourth] edition should be a most welcome addition to the market! Greatly expanded from the previous edition (more than 100 pages longer!), this 20th Anniversary Edition contains a long new section on the shipwrecks that have yielded cobs over the years, complete with a foldout map and specified bibliographies for each wreck. Also, the assayer section incorporates the latest research information, with specimen photos of most of the assayers (not separated into a photo section as before). The values in the back, of course, have been updated. What has not changed, however, is the appeal to both beginners and advanced collectors alike, as well as dealers and jewelers who work with cobs. The Practical Book of Cobs offers readers a look at the following topics:Historical background / Elements of design / Market values / Extensive bibliography / Complete ID of mint marks, assayers, and period / How cobs were made and used / Treasure Fleets and other shipwrecks that produced cobs / How to buy and sell, and how to spot counterfeits.

Download or read book Sunken Gold written by Joseph Williams and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 25, 1917, the HMS Laurentic struck German mines off the coast of Ireland and sank. Its shipment was critical: Britain at that time was facing escalated submarine warfare, which had been sinking millions of tons of cargo and threatening the country with starvation. The Laurentic was carrying 44 tons of gold bullion to the still-neutral United States via Canada in order to finance the war effort for Britain and its allies. The salvage mission was confidential, since the British government dared not alert the Germans to the presence of the sunken treasure. Lieutenant Commander Guybon C. C. Damant was the most qualified officer to head the mission—he personally set a deep sea diving record in 1906 and had worked to establish safer deep sea diving procedures.Though Damant's salvage team was successful at first, and recovered a significant amount of gold, wild gales battered the wreck into the shape of an accordion, turning the operation into a multiyear struggle of man versus nature. Damant was called off the salvage when his skill became needed to lead a team of covert divers to investigate and search through the contents of recently sunk U-boats for ciphers, minefield schematics, and other secret documents. The information they obtained, once in the hands of British intelligence, proved critical toward Allied efforts to defeat the U-boats and win the war.At the conclusion of the war, Damant had become obsessed with completing his long-deferred mission. His team struggled for five more years as it became apparent that the work could only be accomplished by muscle, grit, and persistence. In the end, Damant and his team recovered 99 percent of the gold with no significant injuries to the men. His deed became one of the most notable exploits in the annals of undersea diving and naval operations, and the Laurentic became a model for later salvages. More than an incredible story about undersea diving adventure, The Sunken Gold is a story of human persistence, bravery, and patriotism.
