In 1998 a group of archaeologists is nearly drowned while diving into the depths of a sacrificial pool high in the Andes of Peru. As the galleon is sailed by Drake's crew back to England, an underwater earthquake causes a massive tidal wave that sweeps it into the jungle. In 1578 the legendary Sir Francis Drake captures a Spanish galleon filled with Inca gold and silver and the key to the lost treasure, which includes a gigantic chain of gold, a masterpiece of ancient technology so huge that it requires two hundred men to lift it and a large pile of diamonds worth more than 200 billion dollars that belonged to the last Inca. Then they disappear, leaving only a great stone demon to guard their hoard. There they hide a magnificent treasure more vast than that any Pharaoh would ever possess. In 1532 a fleet of ships sails in secret to an island in the middle of an inland sea. First published in 1994, it is the twelfth book in Cussler's Dirk Pitt series. Inca Gold is a novel written by Clive Cussler.
