"More than three hundred years ago, the officers and crew of a Spanish treasure ship embarked on a quest to pull off the greatest heist the world would ever know. What became of them has remained hidden by time, but now two parties are closing in on the truth and the billions in gold and jewels that went missing all those years ago. Xavier Silvestre wants the treasure. He is rich, resourceful, and ruthless. He also has one of Patricia Fisher's friends and that's more than enough to get her involved. Patricia has no interest in the treasure, she just wants her gang to feel whole again, but she doesn't know who the other treasure hunter is, and she has no idea where he is. The only thing she does know is what he wants, and she is in a desperate scramble to find it first"--Cover.

On June 8, 1708, the Spanish Galleon San José exploded and sank somewhere in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia, during an attack suffered by an English fleet. Along with it, 600 people died and treasured in gold, silver, coins and precious stones, now valued at twenty billion dollars. The exact site of its sinking has not yet been absolutely confirmed and it has been the subject of a legal dispute between several countries that have already made search and rescue excursions for what is now considered the Holy Grail of Shipwrecks. This book inserts a fictional story into this real historical fact. In order to find a supposed shipwreck map made by one of the survivors, two teams of professionals, scientists and Marines, one from Spain and one from England, return to the past through two wormholes opened as a time tunnel. And then, the most exciting, risky and challenging competition begin, in which, to achieve their goals, the members have to follow clues that lead them to an intermittent sequence of breathtaking adventures. Pirates, cannibals, Mayans, mermaids, sea monsters and volcanoes, among others, are the challenges that the enigmatic map brings to young people to be overcome, some of them deadly. Competition in the past has repercussions in the present, generating an international conflict around the dilemma: to what extent do people fight for their ideals? An exciting mix of science fiction, physics, Latin American history and fantasy, which will trap the reader from the first to the last page.

2007 Award for Excellence in World History and Biography/Autobiography, Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the Association of American Publishers Sunk in a British ambush in 1708, the Spanish galleon San José was rumored to have one of the richest cargos ever lost at sea. Though treasure hunters have searched for the wreck's legendary bounty, no one knows exactly how much went down with the ship or exactly where it sank. Here, Carla Rahn Phillips confronts the legend of lost treasure with documentary records of the San José's final voyage and suggests that the loss of silver and gold en route to Spain paled in comparison to the loss of the six hundred men who went down with the ship. Drawing from rich archival records, Phillips presents a biography of the ship and its crew. With vivid detail and meticulous scholarship, the author tells the stories of the officers, sailors, apprentices, and pages who manned the ship and explains the historical context in which the San José became prey to the British squadron. But the story does not end with the sinking of the San José. While Phillips addresses the persistent question of how much treasure was on board when the ship went down, she focuses on the human dimensions of the tragedy as well. She recovers the accounts of British naval officers involved in the battle, and examines the impact of the ship's loss on the Spanish government, the survivors, and the families of the men who perished. Original, comprehensive, and compelling, The Treasure of the San José separates popular myth from history and sheds light on the human lives associated with a "treasure" ship.

This is a story about the lust for gold and treasure," Fine writes. In the 1600s and 1700s, Spain dominated the oceans with its fleet of galleons. Coming to the New World, these ships filled their holds with gold and silver and treasures beyond imagining. The seaway between Spain and the New World was dubbed The Golden Highway. On their journeys back across the seas, many were wrecked on reefs or destroyed by hurricanes. The watery depths now hold their treasures. Today, treasure divers seek their fortunes by attempting--sometimes successfully, sometimes fatally--to retrieve these hordes of riches. In Treasures of the Spanish Main, readers relive each voyage of long ago as well as witness the modern wreck diver's efforts to extract their secrets. Included are: The 1622 fleet * The Concepcion * The Maravillas * The Shipwreck off Jupiter Beach * The San Jose * the 1715 Fleet * and the 1733 Fleet The voyages of centuries ago come alive with Fine's excellent historical detail. Readers will experience the wild storms and the results of unfortunate choices made by long-ago sailors. The eccentric treasure hunters of today, along with those of the past, create a mosaic of suspense and drama on the high seas. A must for everyone interested in pirates, treasure, sailing, history, or just plain fun.
