A really fun adventure story with some extra levels of science thrown in rather than just being strictly a treasure hunt. Reading this does make me wish for a book set historically to see the other end of this, though--but then it's hard to pass up a good pirate story.
One thing you can be sure of, no Lincoln/Preston book is complete without a trecherous fight for your life up a wet ladder.
Typical of their style, mystery and suspense.
A bit predictable, especially if you have read their stuff before. They have a formula.

Entertaining enough, but with some serious flaws in the scientific approaches and supposed knowledge of the characters (one of the most pathetic archaeologist in fiction, and a doctor with unrealistic gaps and additions to his knowledge). Predictable, but enough action and pirate intrigue to keep the pages turning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 blimey stars from this buccaneer!
Argh mateys! I had to finish it, I was obsessed with pirate treasure by the end.
This book was so much fun, action packed and I loved every damn, scurvy minute of it!
This book was packed with cool science, great engineering theory and practice, historical information and lore on pirates, a vast pirate treasure and a deadly curse on a rocky island on the coast of Maine.
Did they finally get the pirate treasure?
Did anyone survive?
Did they finally find St. Michael’s Sword?
Did greed and obsession turn friends into foes?
Read this book to find out! Another excellent and suspenseful adventure from the Preston/Child duo!
