A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Mr. Cheney spent his first twenty years in his hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts. He then enlisted in the Navy and spent four exciting years as a plane captain for F8U Crusader jet fighters. He participated in the Cuban Missile Crisis and spent time on four aircraft carriers while his squadron trained pilots to fly the 'Mig Killer' Crusader. After serving his enlistment, he spent a year as an electronic test technician for a company building nuclear submarines. For the last three months, he and the other workers had to work 12x7s. After reading an article in TRUE magazine about a fellow earning thousands of dollars a month panning gold in Ecuador, Mr. Cheney became intrigued with the idea and made contact with a fellow in California that was looking for people to join him in an expedition to look for gold in the Amazon Basin in Ecuador. Bob spent four years in this pursuit, which ended when a flash flood destroyed all of the equipment. Returning to the states, Bob took up computers and held positions in the industry as a technical instructor, manager of education, test supervisor, course development, curriculum development, engineering programmer and school director. Bob has spent nine years as a sales account executive and is winding down his career on disability as a result of diabetes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jack Martin is cleaning his attic one Saturday, as his teenage daughter wants to move up there and make it her room. He is making good progress and is almost through when he stumbles across an old Steamer trunk that belonged to his father, who is deceased. Jack and his wife Carol brought the trunk back after the funeral, put it in the attic and forgot about it. Jack figures that this is a good time to sort through the contents and opens the trunk. He finds that the contents are from when his father spent several years in South America looking for gold. Jack finds an assortment of well-worn clothes and other items. There are some knives, a Browning 9mm pistol, a portfolio with maps and photos, a leather pouch and a diary.The pouch contains some good-sized gold nuggets, some large emeralds and a shard of pottery with three lines of inscription. The diary leads Jack to South America to retrace his father's footsteps in a quest for gold, emeralds and other adventures related to the items found in the trunk.
