This book presents a plausible, and possible, explanation of what might have happened to millions in gold bullion that reportedly disappeared from the Presidential Palace vaults after the fall of Saigon to the North Vietnamese.
In this extraordinary story, the aged Liberty Ship SS DIONAEA becomes caught in another storm at sea a storm of greed and international intrigue that includes treacherous North Vietnamese Army officers, unscrupulous seamen and the shadowy world of United States military intelligence.
Although the gold has been missing since April 1975, but was being tracked all that time, all trails end at the DIONAEA, where, once discovered, it disappears again! Obviously it is on the ship. Can it be so obvious, yet hidden or so well disguised that it can be evident, yet ignored?
Violence, intrigue and murder are added to the risks of going to sea and just as the gold itself is linked, so too, are the intimate lives of the people drawn to it across oceans, continents and years; husbands and wives, star-crossed lovers, resourceful seamen, U.S. military officers, prisoners and hostages, and the DIONAEA herself.
Drawing on his thirty-three years of active service, in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, which included the attack on Pearl Harbor, Retired Navy Commander George DuCharme spins a fine yarn of high drama that vividly portrays the routine of the sea-going life and the attraction of exotic ports of call.
In the final analysis it is the spirit and perseverance of those who heed the call of the sea that carries the day; their strengths and frailties, opposing evil and greed, link them together into this Deadly Chain.
In reality, the Saigon gold is still missing today!
