Dourado

Chapter 2 of the adventure-thriller by David Wood.

Chapter 1- Dane Maddock, treasure hunter and former Navy SEAL, is diving on a wreck when his crew is attacked by Cuban pirates.

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, 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, 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 search for the Sword of Goliath.
