Cassius Brown And The Waters of Bimini

A Spanish sailor should have died. According to a five-hundred-year-old manuscript, he recovered after drinking water brought from a mysterious cave in the Bahamas.

For British archaeologist Cassius Brown, the account presents an irresistible historical puzzle. Working alongside Dr Janelle Pinder, a Bahamian maritime archaeologist who knows the islands and their waters far better than he does, Cassius begins tracing the route of a storm-damaged Spanish vessel that may have stumbled upon something extraordinary.

Their investigation leads from forgotten shipping records and contradictory accounts to the reefs and submerged limestone of Bimini. As evidence emerges of a second, seemingly lost expedition, the search becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss as mere legend.

Financing their work is Gideon Stroud, a wealthy businessman whose interest in the mysterious waters is far more personal than Cassius initially realises. With the possibility of an extraordinary discovery drawing closer, the expedition must confront questions of history, ownership, trust and just how far someone might go for the chance of more time.

**Cassius Brown and the Waters of Bimini** is an archaeological adventure combining historical mystery, underwater exploration, dry humour and a deeply human story about love, mortality and the irresistible promise of the Fountain of Youth.
