| Summary | "Treasure of Kings" by Major Charles Gilson is an adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young protagonist, Dick Treadgold, who finds himself drawn into a quest for the legendary treasure of the Incas, spurred on by his encounters with John Bannister, a strong and enigmatic figure. The narrative is set against a backdrop of exploration and danger, mixing elements of thrilling action with the pursuit of gold. At the start of the tale, Dick, a 16-year-old boy, meets the formidable John Bannister on a secluded Sussex beach. Bannister, a man steeped in adventure and mystery, captivates Dick with tales of far-off places and treasures, igniting his desire for exploration. As Dick forms a bond with Bannister, he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a darker plot involving the nefarious Amos Baverstock, who seeks to reclaim a valuable map that holds the key to the Inca treasure. The opening chapters establish a sense of impending adventure mingled with danger, as Dick's life quickly spirals from innocent curiosity into a harrowing escapade full of unexpected turns and threats.
