Description

A tale of passion and pursuit, "Fortune" is the story of Don Spargo, a modern explorer who finds a sunken treasure ship off the West Australian coast and becomes a folk hero, a lover, and a hunted and haunted man. Suspenseful, satrical and deeply moving, this novel challenges the nature of relaity and legend in those scences of modern conflict - from the media to art, from politics to crime - that have obsessed the Western individual since World War II.
