An epic marine treasure hunt and adventure unfolds in this hauntingly beautiful underwater world--and above it--with unexpected twists and turns conspiring to test Robert and his seafaring compatriots.

Spirited legal battles ensue, with additional international interests playing out their hands. Will love and justice prevail? An epic summer of adventure to remember.
