No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A former British intelligence agent and his group of young treasure hunters are in the business of rare artifact acquisition and have crisscrossed the globe to uncover more than any other team. Now, after a devastating series of events, the group embarks on a new journey to uncover the facts behind the greatest exploration in history.
Just as the Columbus Day parade in Philadelphia becomes the scene of a massive terrorist attack that kills innocent civilians, a burned effigy of Christopher Columbus is discovered with a chilling message for the future. Days later, the leader of a Christian organization and his family are brutally murdered in their car. All across the attacks, a single symbol is appearing over and over-the blood red cross of the legendary Knights Templar.
Theodore Chamberlin and his students are determined to discover what Christopher Columbus has in common with an exterminated order of Christian knights. As they depart on a pilgrimage that takes them from Italy to the Caribbean to an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, an army of desperate individuals seeks to prevent the truth from rising to the surface-a truth buried in the legendary Money Pit of Oak Island.

This collection of pithy, brilliantly acerbic pieces is a companion to Sixty Stories, Barthelme's earlier retrospective volume. Barthelme spotlights the idiosyncratic, haughty, sometimes downright ludicrous behavior of human beings, but it is style rather than content which takes precedence.
If any writer can be said to have invented the modern short story, it is Anton Chekhov. It is not just that Chekhov democratized this art form; more than that, he changed the thrust of short fiction from relating to revealing.

### Review I long to embrace, to include in my own short life, all that is accessible to man. I long to speak, to read, to wield a hammer in a great factory, to keep watch at sea, to plow. I want to be walking along the Nevsky Prospect, or in the open fields, or on the ocean -- wherever my imaginat
