Looking for a modern-day version of Indiana Jones? Dane Maddock is your man! This box set includes the first three books in the Dane Maddock Adventures series plus a bonus story.
DOURADO
A sunken treasure. An ancient Biblical artifact. A mystery as old as humankind.
In 1829, the Portuguese brig Dourado sank off the coast of Indonesia, losing its cargo of priceless treasures from the Holy Land. One of these lost relics holds the key to an ancient mystery. But someone does not want this treasure to come to light. When her father is 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 wreckage and recover a lost Biblical artifact, the truth behind which could call into question the fundamentally held truths of human existence. Join Maddock and Bones on a perilous adventure that carries them from the depths of the Pacific to ancient cities of stone as they unravel the mystery of the Dourado.
CIBOLA
Dane Maddock returns in another unforgettable adventure! When Maddock rescues beautiful archaeologist Jade Ihara, he joins her on asearch for the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola. Cibola takes the reader on a journey across the American southwest, where the ruins of the mysterious Anasazi hide deadly secrets, and foes lurk around every corner. Maddock and his partner "Bones" Bonebrake must decipher clues from the fabled Copper Scroll, outwit their enemies, and be the first to unlock the secret of Cibola.
QUEST
Dane Maddock is back. Deep in the Amazon, a university group encounters a horror beyond their darkest nightmares and vanishes without a trace. Called upon to undertake a daring rescue mission, Maddock and Bones must trace the true path of Percy Fawcett's final expedition, but the secret that lies at the end of the search might be even deadlier than the enemies who seek it. From the streets of London to remote islands in the Atlantic, to the deadly jungles of the Amazon, Maddock and Bones must penetrate a secret lost to history, on their deadliest Quest.
AZTLAN
In a remote area of the American Southwest Dane and Bones stumble upon a place out of legend that changes their world.
PRAISE FOR DAVID WOOD AND THE DANE MADDOCK ADVENTURES!
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
"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

High Octane adventure!
Great adventure, a little predictable but still great fun. I'll read the next series soon and the Jade Ihara spin off sounds promising.

First time I read this author. Creative ideas. In each story the characters became more in sync with each other. Didn't like the violence with ugly creatures but the heroes overcame.

I really enjoyed this collection. The characters are very likeable and the chemistry between the two lead characters, Maddock and Bones, is extremely cool. It's obvious they have one of those unbreakable bonds that we all wish we could have with someone. They've been through so much together, and they go through lots more in these exciting adventures.
The stories are well crafted and there's a lot to keep your interest all the way along. They are fast paced with lots of twists and turns along the way. The stories definitely reminds me of the Indiana Jones movies, but with some interesting differences. I would recommend this collection. A very fun read!
I've already bought the next book in the series. Looking forward to reading it!

I received this book from GoodReads First Reads. Wow this was an awesome book that I started telling people about almost as soon as I started reading it. This book has the first three books and a short story. They all three were action packed and kept me wanting more. Great story.

So So Read
If I didn't know better, I would think this was written by Cleve Cussler. I thought the series was just so-so.
