Description
A sunken treasure. An ancient Biblical artifact. A mystery as old as humankind. On January 25, 1829, the Portuguese brig Dourado sank off the coast of Indonesia, losing its cargo of priceless treasures from the Holy Land. One of these lost relics holds the key to an ancient mystery. But someone does not want this treasure to come to light. When her father is murdered while searching for the Dourado, Kaylin Maxwell hires treasure hunter and former Navy Seal Dane Maddock and his partner Uriah show more "Bones" Bonebrake, to locate the Dourado, and 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. Join Dane and Bones on a perilous adventure that carries them from the depths of the Pacific to ancient cities of stone as they unravel the mystery of the Dourado. show lessTags

Fun read
This was my first foray into action/adventure. Love these type of movies but never tried it in book form.
I must admit that it took me a little to get into it, but once I did it was a fun little read. I enjoyed the biblical focus of this - reminding me very much of Indiana Jones Last Crusade.
I found this a light read and a good diversion.

Completely far-fetched, absurd and unbelievable but at the same time an enjoyable tale of wild adventures dating back to Biblical times when men were giants and angels roamed the earth.
I was a bit disappointed by this book. The beginning was fantastic as it detailed the wreckage of a ship which was laden with ancient artifacts. The middle was ok as well but I found the ending a bit far-fetched for my liking. Still, it did not take long to read and was enjoyable for the most part.
