The Hellhound Scrolls
Matt Drake and his team are back to their treasure hunting best.
It’s a new agency with new goals and a new beginning. They don’t know where they’ll end up next. And when a mysterious ancient galleon washes up on a sandy shore in Singapore, Drake’s team is sent in to help the investigators.
They find a disturbing mystery, a ship that was never registered with distressing vile symbols carved inside and a new warfaring people who pillaged and plundered and killed everyone they came across in sacrifice to their evil gods.
What follows is a deadly quest through southeast Asia, a search for a vicious long-dead nation’s vast treasure horde. From lost islands to tourist heavy temples and resplendent ice caves, they fight a determined and lethal foe for the right to claim the ultimate prize – the treasure laden underworld of one of the bloodthirstiest nations they’ve ever encountered.

A new business a new job get what a start
A ship washes up on the shore with strange markings and Kerry an archaeologist tries to interpret them until she finds a chest in the captain's cabin and the first of many clues. Matt Drake group just back from another job has between them decided to go into business for themselves and when Kelly decade's to go treasure hunting she hires them. Turns out pretty boring until it wasn't, clue after clue danger at every turn and loyalty out the window. A good mystery and adventure, I enjoyed the ride and being an onlooker spear solutions are now in business. Recommend

New team new adventure
Another action packed mission for Matt Drake and his team. A ghostly galleon washes ashore filled with ancient evil artefacts and a mysterious scroll. Drake's team are called in for protection.
Treasure hunting is a deadly business. Excellent fast-paced quest across Asia ending in a fierce battle. Great locations and characters make this a great read.

The hell home scrolls
As Mr. Drake’s books this was not one of the best, but it was not one of the worst. It was a very good read, and I enjoyed it after what 36 books. 3 1/2 star versus five still a fantastic record please continue writing more books. Because it’s just like what movies and off and and they’re still all good

It's a bit slow throughout.
The book was of a different genre. Normally, when I read a book I either get hooked within the first few pages. This one was just slow to pique my full interest. It was good, but not at the level I expected from David Leadbeater. Oh well.......
