Summary

"It isn't every one who's been a god," said the sunburnt man. "But it's happened to me..." When the Ocean Pioneer sinks in twenty fathoms of water, she takes fifty thousand pounds of pure gold dust down with her. Desperate to strike it rich, a crew of rogue salvagers launches a secret expedition to steal the fortune from the deep. Equipped with a primitive, second-hand diving dress nicknamed "Jimmy Goggles," one greenhorn diver plunges into the murky, volcanic depths. But when a brutal ambush massacres his crew on the surface, he is left completely stranded at the bottom of the sea. Washing ashore in a monstrous copper helmet and a bloated mackintosh suit, he doesn't find death - he finds a tribe of terrified natives who mistake him for an all-powerful deity. Trapped inside his stifling, rum-scented armor, he must play the part of a silent, terrifying god to survive. Press play now to survive the deep! How long could you bear the weight of a false crown?
