博客來A wealthy orphan inherits a steam yacht and discovers his guardian’s secret obsession-a treasure ship frozen near the South Pole carrying five million dollars in gold. When he rescues a mysterious boy held prisoner in a refrigerated room as part of a bizarre experiment to withstand extreme cold, the two form an unlikely alliance.
Their expedition south faces treachery at every turn. A ruthless sea captain will stop at nothing to steal their secret maps and claim the treasure for himself. Mutiny, shipwreck, and capture by bloodthirsty Patagonian natives threaten to end their quest before it begins.
Against impossible odds, the expedition pushes deeper into Antarctic waters than any explorer before them. Giant polar bears, monstrous birds, and the mysterious magnetic forces of the South Pole stand between them and their goal. But the greatest discovery waiting in that frozen wasteland isn’t gold-it’s a father lost years ago on his own doomed voyage south.
