弗兰克·波普（Frank Pope）在这部关于寻宝出错的惊悚故事中拉开了沉船黑帮激烈竞争的帷幕。
当牛津考古学家门森·邦德（Mensun Bound）与一位金融家合作打捞一个沉没的15世纪瓷器宝库时，发现频道称之为“深部印第安纳琼斯”（Indiana Jones of the Deep），这似乎是一项梦寐以求的事业。风险很高：海安号沉船沉入数百英尺深，位于越南沿海一片易受台风影响的水域，称为龙海。提升其内容物需要饱和潜水、160名船员和一支船队。但潜在的回报同样高：Bound将彻底改变人们对越南陶瓷的看法，他的合作伙伴将通过拍卖这些作品发财。至少他们是这么想的。
在《龙海》中，波普讲述了一个关于危险、冒险和野心的引人入胜的故事——这是一堂引人入胜的课，讲述了当奖学金和金钱联手追回丢失的宝藏时会发生什么。
Dragon Sea: A True Tale of Treasure, Archaeology, and Greed off the Coast of Vietnam
Frank Pope pulls back the curtain on the intensely competitive underworld of shipwrecks in this thrilling story of treasure hunting gone wrong.
When Oxford archeologist Mensun Bound—dubbed the “Indiana Jones of the Deep” by the Discovery Channel—teamed up with a financier to salvage a sunken trove of fifteenth-century porcelain, it seemed a dream enterprise. The stakes were high: The Hoi An wreck lay hundreds of feet down in a typhoon-prone stretch of water off the coast of Vietnam known as the Dragon Sea. Raising its contents required saturation diving, a crew of 160, and a fleet of boats. But the potential rewards were equally high: Bound would revolutionize thinking about Vietnamese ceramics, and his partner would make a fortune auctioning off the pieces. Or so they thought.
In Dragon Sea, Pope delivers an engrossing tale of danger, adventure, and ambition—a fascinating lesson in what happens when scholarship and money join forces to recover lost treasure.
