Caton (Richard Caton) Treasure of Kings Being the Story of the Discovery of the "Big Fish," or the Quest of the Greater Treasure of the Incas of Peru. Produced by Al Haines "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.
