Ghazni's Gold

Kris Hamsun Professional Diver and Project Manager on offshore Oil & Gas projects suffers occasionally from memory lapses for brief moments while submerged for extended periods. Required to obtain fresh Diver certification for himself for a major project in the Indian Ocean region he sails through the certification but during the process comes in contact with the delectable Susan Brent Professor of Psychology who helps him explore the cause of his various drift events while diving.   Their budding romance blossoms into a long term relationship and the explorations they initiate on his drifts lead Kris on a journey back in time one thousand years to an era unmatched in aggression when seventeen full-fledged invasions were conducted into India in a compressed time of twenty-five years by a GHAZNI based Marauder. Kris and a group of dive buddies undertake a risky nighttime wreck recovery dive operation befitting their Nordic ancestry which results in the recovery of tons of gold briquettes valued at a billion-plus dollars while covertly evading the intense scrutiny of Ghazni’s successors still marauding in the region.  In this adventure they are guided by one Raghu Kris’s mentor and his predecessor in a previous incarnation. Raghu had masterfully executed the tasks assigned to him which culminated in Kris’s successful treasure haul after a lapse of an unanticipated thousand years.
