An action-packed archaeological detective story! When an archaeologist is murdered in a room locked from the inside, former Navy SEAL Dane Maddock must turn detective and solve the crime. What is the mysterious artifact the man was killed for, and what are they plotting next? It’s a race against time as Maddock unlocks the secret of Thunder Mountain! Praise for David Wood and the Dane Maddock Adventures “With the thoroughly enjoyable way Mr. Wood has mixed speculative history with our modern-day pursuit of truth, he has created a story that thrills and makes one think beyond the boundaries of mere fiction and enter the world of 'why not'?” David Golemon, Author of the Event Group series “Jurassic Park meets Jungle Cruise in this rollicking adventure!” Rick Chesler, author of Golden One “An adrenaline-fueled thrill ride!” Alan Baxter, author of Hidden City “What an adventure! A great read that provides lots of action, and thoughtful insight as well, into strange realms that are sometimes best left unexplored.” Paul Kemprecos, author of Cool Blue Tomb and the NUMA Files “David Wood has done it again. Within seconds of opening the book, I was hooked. Intrigue, suspense, monsters, and treasure hunters. What more could you want? David's knocked it out of the park with this one!" Nick Thacker- author of The Enigma Strain “Dane and Bones.... Together they're unstoppable. Rip roaring action from start to finish. Wit and humor throughout. Just one question - how soon until the next one? Because I can't wait.” Graham Brown, author of Shadows of the Midnight Sun “A page-turning yarn blending high action, Biblical speculation, ancient secrets, and nasty creatures. Indiana Jones better watch his back!” Jeremy Robinson, author of SecondWorld “A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!” -Robert Masello, author of The Einstein Prophecy “Let there be no confusion: David Wood is the next Clive Cussler. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop until the last mystery plays out in the final line.”-Edward G. Talbot, author of 2012: The Fifth World “I like my thrillers with lots of explosions, global locations and a mystery where I learn something new. Wood delivers! Recommended as a fast paced, kick ass read.”-J.F. Penn, author of Desecration

Perfect - and Perfectly Short - Dane Maddock Adventure. This is one of those tales that is *deep* within a series... and yet still manages to work *perfectly* as an introduction to this character and this author's style of storytelling. At less than 40 pages, this is a *very* quick read and thus near-perfect for those who maybe don't know who Maddock or Wood are and maybe don't want to risk too much time in finding out. After all, investing 300+ pages into a character/ story only to find that you can't stand the character or the way the author writes can be daunting. I get it. So try this one on for size if you don't know them already... and prepare to become addicted after your first hit! (Long time fans will still be satisfied as well, if in the way a good amuse-bouche can be satisfying.) Very much recommended.
