Ship of Gold is an exciting, fast-paced tale
of action, intrigue, and adventure on the
high seas--told with the ringing authenticity
only firsthand knowledge can impart.
In 1945, the U.S. submarine Tigerfish mis-
takenly torpedoed and sunk a Japanese
cargo ship. The ship, allegedly carrying
supplies to allied POWs, had been given
safe passage. But, in fact, the Osaka Maru
was a Japanese Trojan horse: a cunning ruse
devised by a powerful secret society to
transport tons of gold out of Japan under
the very eyes of the enemy. Some thirty
years later, the commander of the Tigerfish
is murdered in Washington. As the CIA
launches its investigation into his death, a
race to raise the ship and recover its treasure
begins, which mounts to an international
incident involving the U.S., China, the Soviet
Union, and Japan.
The action of this taut thriller provides the
behind-the-scenes reality of the national
security system at work--the CIA, the Oval
Office, the Pentagon, and the National
Security Council--all scrambling to solve
the crisis and to have control of the opera-
tion. It is a stunning portrait that all too
closely resembles real life. This gripping,
authentic thriller, which culminates in the
most exciting naval chase since The Hunt for
Red October, is must-reading for fans of
Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, and Alistair
MacLean.
