Robert Kurson's latest book chronicles the hunt for The Golden Fleece, a Royal Navy ship turned pirate vessel in the late 1600s. The heroes of Shadow Divers are back to lead the way, 24 fathoms deep, through island politics, armed bandits, and feats of derring-do. If you need a gift suggestion for y...

A really good story. Two men, veteran shipwreck hunters, team up to find the legendary pirate ship of Joseph Bannister. Bannister was a wealthy British sea captain, who, for some reason, gave up his comfortable life to become a pirate. The author pulls you in, until you feel that you are onboard, ...

This was my first Kurson book and it was very interesting. I learned alot about diving and treasure hunting that I didn't know before. I guess I always thought that finding wrecks and treasure was alot more glamorous and only took a short time but in actuality it takes years of research, searching &...

I feel in love with Kurson's Shadow Divers, so when this came up I just has to grab it. These divers are amazing men, the amount of time and money this takes is astronomical and this plays havoc on lives and relationships. In this book they are looking for a pirate's ship, the Golden Fleece of John...

I reread this one by way of audiobook. Ray Porter's narration was wonderful. I have no preference over text or audio, though.

This is one of those rare moments when the movie is better than the book.

Nate lives in L.A. and has a dead-end minimum wage data entry job. He needs a more affordable place to live, so he's thrilled to learn about the Kavach building. An apartment with all utilities paid, only $565 a month! Yay! Maybe it's so cheap because it's infested with bright green mutant cockroach...

Uhhhh..... Okaaaayyy..... Hell House was an odd ghost story, and it really should have been a story that I hated. It had a lot of perversity and depravity to it, and a lot of weird sexual violence. Books that contain those sort of things usually don't last long in my hands. In this case, thou...
