One of the world's most legendary and elusive treasures, sought after for centuries. . .


An ancient mystery.
A Lost Treasure.
A Hidden City.
An impossible location.
An unimaginable adventure.


El Dorado Book 2 Continues from The Lost City Book 1, and will take you inside the Lost City to learn of its many secrets and dangers.
After a perilous journey through the inhospitable Amazon Jungle, the expedition team stand at the entrance of a strange construction leading inside one of the seven surrounding pyramid shaped mountains Fawcett’s journal has led them to. Where will it lead? Is it El Darodo? What secrets will they find within? They venture inside the mountain to find out. Not all will survive.


What lies before them as an unimaginable adventure full of danger, sacrifice, nightmare creatures and an ancient treasure so vast it rivals the greatest treasures of the world so far discovered. Escape will be almost impossible. Waiting for them is something worshiped by the Aztec and Mayan tribes for hundreds of years, and it is alive!

Reviews


"This is a terrific two book series set within the atmospherically described Amazon jungle. I could easily imagine myself tagging along with the adventurers."

"If you like reading Clive Cussler, Matthew Reilly, James Rollins or Michael Crichton, you will enjoy this action adventure from Ben Hammott."

" Has all the ingredients for an instant success: great plot, interesting characters, a large dose of mystery, impressive locations , unexpected twists and discoveries, deception and betrayal and even a touch of romance and a spattering of humor. This story will keep you entertained from beginning to end. Recommended for the permanent library of all action adventure readers."


"The Mysterious and Dangerous Amazon Jungle, Subterranean Rooms, Tunnels, Pyramids, Ancient Aliens, Nazis, Traps, Thrilling Escapes, Chases, Strange Creatures, Dangerous Enemies, a Lost City and Great Characters, are just a few ingredients that make this exciting adventure thriller a must read for fans of this genre." (NY.Post.book.reviews)

"From bestselling author Ben Hammott this action packed adventure takes you into the Amazon Jungle to follow in the footsteps of lost Victorian Explorer, Colonel Percy Fawcett. What we have here, in part, is an excellent dramatization of what may have happened to Fawcett and what he may have discovered in the unexplored regions of the Amazon. The well written plot is seldom predictable and some of the characters you think are safe, and will be alive by the time the book reaches its climax, are not. Sights and sounds of the Amazon are described well and help to set the atmospheric tone the explorers travel through. A thoroughly enjoyable adventure."

Ben Hammott

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Former global adventurer, currently a writer of thrillers, with a mind full of monsters. Ben Hammott is a British author living in England with his human family and more than the average number of cats.

Most of his published works fall under the broad category of ‘thriller,’ getting there by way of horror, fantasy or historical mystery. Two of his many novels, ‘Hell Ship: The Flying Dutchman’ and ‘Ice Rift,’ are now available on audio.

Though now firmly based back in the UK, he wrote most of his books while travelling across Europe, until a certain global pandemic forced a change of direction. Until that point, he could genuinely style himself as something of an adventurer and explorer, making a few small discoveries and finding his way into locations not seen by the public in decades (including one small misadventure in a dinghy that’s still a sore spot for the person who leant it to him).

When he’s not writing, Ben spends his time exploring his passion for resin moulding and 3D printing, and constructing ever more new climbing places for his cats, while insisting to anybody who will listen that he’s not a cat person.

    First book a very exciting Amazon adventure just absolutely loved it. Second book just got to weird and had hard time getting into it, but it was exciting and I really ended up liking it. Good characters, couldn't help liking them, some errors in writing but easy to read through, you can tell i don't write all that good so I can't judge. Loved it though.

    OK, please read the description carefully when you consider buying this book. You will have to buy the second book, "An Unexpected Adventure Book 2" to read the entire story. Now, that said the story was good. I liked the plot, characters and the book was non-stop action. I will admit that the ending seemed a bit of a stretch, but overall the book(s) were worth their price. No regrets.

    Excellent balance of fact and fiction. This book takes two descendants of Fawcett's lost expedition, throws in a couple of new clues, and sends them off on an adventure to retrace the steps of their ancestors. The book ends on a cliffhanger and the second book picks up just about where it left off. Hammott really grabs the reader and takes him on a daring jaunt through the peril infested Amazon rain forest.

    Well developed with lots of background and setup. Fast moving with regular crises to be overcome. The story is quite wild and even though interesting, became unreal.

    If you like adventure novels you'll like this. It blends past events seamlessly with current. A Jungle adventure that has it all: Lost Cities, lost tribes, Nazis, aliens, beautiful and fierce woman, charismatic and daring men. You'll leap from death defying escapes to battles with fierce jungle warriors and alien monsters.

    Great vacation/summer read to help you escape it all.

    Great characters and interesting reading. You want to continue reading and not put the book down. I emailed the author about the grammatical and spelling errors which are the only negatives. The story is compelling, the characters well developed, and there are plenty of surprises. Very well written.

    I found this book say to read and captured your imagination quickly, it kept you wanting to not put down The only reason for not giving 5 stars was that I would have preferred it as 1 book instead of 2. A good adventure.

    An enjoyable read, I got to the end of the book still looking for more adventure. I have to admit though I found Part 1 to be even more exciting as the many plots all merged into one story.
