Capt. Bob Moran's,  " A Deadly Path To Treasure ",  has something for everyone. Do recounts of cold war intrigue interest you? Does being a political pawn after being washed up on Castro's shore grip you? How about flying fast  aircraft by the seat of the pants on normal and somewhat dubious missions? Have you ever read a first person account of how the fastest draw walked away to tell the story?

 The above stories and many more are laced throughout the book. Oh, I didn't mention the quest and discovery of TREASURE, sunken treasure, the real thing. Capt. Moran is more than a treasure hunter, he is a treasure finder. His book is the latest installment of books being written that convey the work, play, frustrations, rewards, and the heartbreaks associated with the search and discovery of the doomed 1622 fleet sister galleons " Nuestra Senora de Atocha " and the " Santa Margarita ", located near the magic island of Key West, Fl.

 The book is well written, and hard to leave unattended until finished. The photographs are as remarkable as the stories themselves. The CD format is unique and easier to read. I liked adjusting the fonts to a larger size and supersizing the pictures. When I joined Treasure-Salvors I missed meeting Capt. Moran by just a few months. I heard legendary stories about him from the crew. I finally met Bob in 2010. When he told us he was working on his book we all prodded him over the last year to get it done. It was worth waiting so long to meet him, and it was well worth waiting for the book. It is another link to the puzzle as to what Treasure Salvors Inc. really was! This belongs in your library. They are stories of a giant, written by a humble man.

How about Volume 2 Capt. Bob?    Randy " Hambone " Barnhouse.

 Just in from sea Bob. Read your book while I was digging holes on the Atocha. I really enjoyed your life story and what a life it has been. Enjoyed seeing you when you were here. Andy Matroci

Bob, Received the book/CD today and did a quick speed read.  Need to go back at my leisure and do a proper job of reading it. Really enjoyed your writing style. Clean, no bull shit or artifices. Bill Diaz

Bob, I had 3 long airplane flights this week and read your book on my Kindle (converted it to a .mobi file…but some of the pictures didn’t convert).  What a great story…and what an adventurous life you’ve had.  It must have been very entertaining, after the fact, to mull over some of those situations you were in…easy to laugh about them after the fact!!!  Anyway, you’ve made a great contribution to the history of Treasure Salvors…and I appreciate that (so will many others).  I will add this to my website tomorrow and send a general email to the entire Sunken Treasure Book Club.   OK if I send out your address???? Anyway, congratulations on a great work!!!! Dave Crooks

Capt. Bob Moran’s book,‘A Deadly Path To Treasure’, is an insight to an incredible life of which most people only dream about. The author puts the reader in the first person as they flip page after page. This is a marvelous read which should be in any armchair treasure enthusiast’s or seasoned treasure hunter’s library.

Great book Bob. An easy read. What a life story. You are an original member of "The Wild Bunch"! A must read for any Atocha buff too. Bill Pearson

"Bob just finished reading it and I must say you have led such an interesting life. I had no idea you had gone through so many adventures. Thanks for the read." Karen Hargreaves

This is one of the best books I've ever read.  Joy Warshauer

Bob. This is a great read. I cannot put it down! Or should I say, turn it off. Are you (or do you) have this book in print??  Ben Costello

Bob Moran is a true adventurer, a true treasure hunter and the "Real Deal" .  "A Deadly Path to Treasure" covers the career of this truly interesting pirate, and tells the "real story" behind finding the huge Atocha treasure.  A must read for any genuine lover of adventure. Wayne Gales, Author
