Can Jason survive the Amazon jungle and the pursuit of an ex-CIA agent with bad intentions?
Born in Canada to immigrant parents from Guyana, Jason Marshall is driven by a lifelong interest in rock formations to pursue a degree in Geology and later a career with a small resource extraction company in Toronto. While he is learning to navigate his life as an adult in the city, however, Jason is awoken one night by assailants who believe that he has something valuable that they are looking for-and he is sent on a global adventure that will change his life forever.
After fighting them off, Jason quickly realizes that whatever the assailants were looking for is connected to a package that he recently received from his grandfather, who still lives in Guyana. His grandfather is a Pork Knocker who mines for gold and precious metals, and he has given Jason an old map with clues leading to a mysterious destination that seems to boast a significant treasure. Though Jason is intrigued by the possibility of visiting Guyana for the first time, he is initially skeptical and believes that the timing is wrong. After all, he is busy pursuing a blossoming relationship with Wendy, an incredible woman with whom he shares similar experiences of growing up as part of the Guyanese diaspora.
However, there are powerful forces at work-including a host of nefarious strangers who want Jason to go to Guyana for their own reasons. As they continue to stalk and attack him, Jason begins a journey that increasingly blurs the lines between the past, the present, and the future.
El Dorado is the first novel in a trilogy featuring Jason Marshall.
