Treasure-hunter Marshall Cross is down on his luck and recently divorced. His foundering archeology-themed amusement park, Treasure Island, is being threatened by ruthless real estate tycoon Denton Barrett, and Cross is hoping for a big find to stave off selling his dream. Finding Pizarro's golden sword, an intricately carved, razor-sharp rapier lost in a hurricane in 1715 off the Coast of Brevard County, Florida, would do just that. Cross' problems mount when news breaks that a meteor is forecast to strike the Atlantic, threatening to send a mammoth tsunami barreling into the Florida peninsula. From undersea shipwrecks, to gator-infested swampland, to the Kennedy Space Center - Cross' adventures find him going toe-to-toe with Barrett's paramilitary army, a seductive zookeeper, and a surly bull shark named Marge. Can Cross unearth Pizarro's sword, save Treasure Island, uncover an astronomical conspiracy, and find love all before the meteor crashes into the ocean and his new-found adversaries turn him into shark bait? Filled with high-seas excitement, breezy humor, and tropical romance, with A Sword for Pizarro, you're not just reading a book, you're along for the adventure.
