Seven Cities of Gold Larry Dean Cousin

Nick Hunter, hellcat pilot and obtainer of lost treasures, is drawn into a global struggle for unimaginable power and glorious riches when mercenaries attempt to steal a strange necklace in his possession. Days later, when a compelling vision of the ancient American past reveals his necklace is linked to the Urim and Thummin, a biblical crystal that can prophesy the future and invoke cataclysmic destruction, Nick is bent on finding out why his medallion is worth stealing. Driven by passion, Nick enlists the aide of his archaeologist friend, Trish Bradley, and Margaret Maplethorp, an alluring spy in the service of the OSS, to thwart Nazi forces who are more than determined to use the medallion to obtain the fabled riches of Cibola and the power of God for their own evil schemes. Journeying to far off lands and god-forsaken locales, Nick and his allies leap from trap to trap in their quest for the crystal and the fantastic Seven Cities of Gold. But Nick must beware his haunted past and the phantoms within, as the supernal powers of the crystal become greater than even he imagined.
