When three American fishermen disappear along the North Carolina coast, their sportfishing yacht is found blown to pieces. While family and friends try to determine what happened, the CIA keeps the details a secret, yet they intensely search for answers themselves. Why are Russian and Cuban military officials meeting near Bermuda? How does Chechnya's fight for independence threaten the security of the United States? And what does an intense treasure hunt for Spanish gold in Cuban waters have to do with a clandestine operation to rescue American citizens? The resulting crisis carries the potential for world-wide destruction that even the CIA's finest agents may be too late to defuse.
About the Author: Malcom Massey writes "The Martin Culver Series", a collection of action thrillers based on his experiences living in Central and South America, as well as his interests in history, archaeology and travel. The main character in the series, Martin Culver, is a writer turned adventurer unavoidably drawn into one dangerous exploit after another. His passion to repatriate stolen historical artifacts leads Culver to establish the International Antiquities Foundation, but the archaeological black market has deep roots and shadowy players on both sides of the fence, players who do not abide any interference. As Martin builds his team of experts, knowing who to trust is simply the first lesson he must learn. The lessons that follow will test every fiber of his character. Born in Annapolis, Maryland, while his father served at the U.S. Naval Academy, Malcom grew up devouring stories of ancient cultures and lost treasures from around the world. Malcom has lived in Costa Rica and Bolivia, and has traveled throughout South America and the Caribbean. After living and writing for 16 months in the Yucatan area of Mexico, Malcom returned to the United States, where he still lives and writes near the coast. Malcom's latest action thriller is "The Lost Calendar of the Maya: The Return of Kukulkan," a novel set in the Yucatan during the build-up to the Mayan Calendar Prophecy date, but is about so much more than just 2012. "The Lost Calendar" is the third novel in the Martin Culver Series. The second thriller in the series, "The Lost Ark of the Incas", is set in the cities and jungles of Peru. This novel is available on Kindle and in print. For more information, updates and videos, please go to my Amazon Author Page at: http: //www.amazon.com/author/malcommassey
