Overview

On January 25, 1829, the Portuguese brig Dourado sank off the coast of Indonesia. Lost with the ship was its cargo: half a million dollars and a trove of priceless artifacts from the holy land. One of these lost relics holds the key to an ancient mystery. When her father is mysteriously murdered while searching for the Dourado, Kaylin Maxwell hires treasure hunter and former Navy Seal Dane Maddock and his partner Uriah "Bones" Bonebrake, to locate the Dourado. Join Dane, Bones, and Kaylin on a perilous adventure that carries them from the depths of the Pacific to the bowels of the earth beneath an ancient city of stone as they seek to recover a lost Biblical artifact, the truth behind which could shake the foundations of the church, and call into question the fundamentally held truths of human existence.

Editorial Reviews

Megalith Book Reviews
A fast-paced adventure with action to spare. Dane Maddock is a hero cut from the Dirk Pitt mold, and "Bones" Bonebrake is the best sidekick around. If you like your thrillers with a touch mystery and Biblical archaeology, Dourado is the book for you. -- Megalith Book Reviews
Sean Ellis
"Dourado is a brisk read, reminiscent of early Cussler adventures, and perfect for an afternoon at the beach or a cross-country flight. You'll definitely want more of Maddock." Sean Ellis- Author of Into the Black

    A Fast-Paced Thriller You Won't Want to Put Down

    Dourado is part DaVinci Code, part Indiana Jones with a heavy dose of Clive Cussler poured out on top. The story follows two former Navy SEALS who are called on to tackle a Biblical mystery and find an ancient biblical relic. The action goes from the Caribbean to the Pacific to mainland US, culimnating with a final showdown in an ancient city in the Holy Land. A fast, fun read!

    Cartoonish, at best. The metaphors jump off each page.
