描述
アメリカ、メーン州の沖にひっそりと佇むノコギリ島の洞窟には、世界中を震えあがらせた海賊、“レッド・ネッド・オッカム（血塗れ）”の遺した莫大な財宝が眠っている。時価２０億ドル以上といわれる財宝への欲望に憑かれ、幾人もの宝探しがこの島を訪れたが、洞窟の奥から突如噴出する海水に阻まれ、その夢を散らしてきた。洞窟はいつしか“水地獄”と呼ばれ、恐れられた。その“水地獄”に、今、最先端のテクノロジーとコンピュータで武装した専門家集団が挑む。暗号、罠、呪い、裏切り、原因不明の病。はたして宝物を手にすることはできるのか。驚愕のラストまで物語は突っ走る―。「宝島」の胸高鳴る思いと、「インディ・ジョーンズ」のスリルの融合。血沸き肉踊る、冒険小説の最高傑作。
For centuries, treasure hunters have sought the lost horde of the notorious English pirate Edward Ockham. Clues led to the mysterious Water Pit on Ragged Island, Maine-but a curse left behind by the long-dead Ockham seems to be working. Every expedition has failed; the treasure seekers died in gruesome fashions. Now a new expedition has been mounted, using state-of-the-art computer technology and backed by tens of millions of dollars. It will all be worth it, if the treasure estimated to be worth $2 billion can be found. But modern technology, no matter how expensive, may not be enough to overcome the deadly secrets of the Water Pit.
