Yamamoto's Gold C F Goldblatt

In the closing days of World War II, General Yamamoto's men are transporting billions of dollars of stolen Dutch gold via submarine. The submarine is sunk nearly on the same day as Yamamoto's Betty bomber is shot down by American P-38s over Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. For 65 years, the gold sits at the base of an active underwater volcano near Bougainville. Papua New Guinea is Luke's new home. He is trying to forget his turbulent past by living amongst the natives; fishing, whaling, and free-diving. But conflict over a local gold mine is creating an all-out civil war with the natives and Luke is caught in the middle. When Luke's nemesis, Eco-extremist, Rainbow Pristine learns of gold, she races Luke, his partner, Abraham, and his new lover Opal, to the foot of the volcano where the gold lies hidden. Rainbow needs the gold to appease her financial backers, and Luke wants the gold to make new fishing reefs for the locals so they can have more fish, more jobs and live in peace. Everything hangs in the balance as they face off in 15,000 feet of water.
