From the Author:
I published the original version of TREASURE in hardcover in 1977, and in paperback the following year. It was a tremendously exciting story up to that point, though not yet complete. It had no ending. I published it anyway, partly because I had lost faith that there would ever be a better ending than I had already, and partly because, after so many months of living with the story and the divers, tossed about on the open sea, sleeping on the salvage boats or on one of the uninhabited islands in the Marquesas group, I had to do something with the material. I was a professional writer. I had to make a living. Ten years passed, and suddenly the ending was there. I went back down to Key West, talked to my old friends, and many others, and I wrote 100 additional pages, the complete story at last. This is the version that was published by Pocket Books in paperback in 1987, and on Kindle now.
