I loved that this book alternated between the present time and 300 years ago. The story is told from two different voices. Lieutenant Jarvis lived during the period where the British were freeing Jamaica from the Spanish. He kept a journal that falls into the hands of Gideon. Gideon served an LDS mission to Jamaica and recognizes a symbol found in the journal. This begins a yearning to know the importance of the symbol.

One of my favorite things about reading a book is when I can vicariously visit a place I have never been. Aaron Blaylock took me into the jungles of Jamaica, both in the past and present. He introduced me to the culture and people.

The book is full of adventure and treasure seeking. The book contains some violence. ( )
