by David Wood, Matthew James, Matt James

“Jurassic Park meets Jungle Cruise in this rollicking adventure!” Rick Chesler, author of Golden One A legendary creature guards a lost city of wonders. When a satellite photograph reveals the location of a legendary lost city deep in the Congo River basin, journalist Mackenzie Moore knows it is only a matter of time before its secrets are revealed to the world. In order to get there first, she needs someone capable and crazy enough to take her there. Treasure hunter and former Navy SEAL Bones Bonebrake loves adventure and hates boredom. But an expedition into one of the worlds most dangerous and remote locations might turn out to be more than he bargained for. Somewhere in the depths of the Dark Continent lies Mbanza Mpimpá, the City of Night. But this seemingly abandoned city does not surrender its secrets easily, and intruders are not welcome in the Lost City! Classic adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Dirk Pitt, and National Treasure will love the Bones Bonebrake Adventures! A fraction of this book previously appeared in a different form as part of a book called Venom. This is, however, a very different book. Praise for David Wood “Contest is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride!” Alan Baxter, author of Hidden City "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 “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 “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 “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 Lynn Golemon, Author of the Event Group series “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 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

Short, Fun, And Typical Maddock-verse... Without The Full Team. If you're looking for a short taste of an Indiana Jones / Dirk Pitt type adventure... you've found one. This is a very quick read at under 150 pages and features a bit more straightforward of an adventure for one Uriah "Bones" Bonebrake than is typical of the larger Maddock and Bones books with the full team. It will be interesting to see if at least one of the revelations here plays a role within the larger universe, but it is always fun to see Bones in his element, with or without the supporting cast. Just a great, fun bit of escapism to take your attention for an afternoon without demanding too much of your time. Very much recommended.

A Bones Bonebrake # 4 adventure in the Congo. Short book. Cast includes a grouchy and unlikeable journalist from the National Geographic. There are unknown creatures that resemble dinosaurs and apes. And a lost city that is supposed to have a lot of gold. In spite of all this, the story didnt "grab" me. Not sure why.

Loved this adventure. Mack was a difficult personality but she went well with the story, and Bones was his usual "fly by the seat of your pants" self. This made for a fun and funny read with a bit of eye rolling involved.

Lost City =

Love Bones, he puts so much humor into all the scary parts. All I hope is never to meet any Blood Monkeys. Looking forward to reading more about Bones.

I enjoyed the read. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is creatures in the jungle, like there is in this story. Only time will tell, when all the Amazon is explored.

Short fun adventure story from Mr. Wood. He crammed in about everything you would want in this book. A good fun read!

[Jenny Clifford · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this book we join Bones while he helps a journalist search for a lost and hidden city in the middle of the djungle in Congo. It is a little bit weird that I like these books as much as I do, but I think they are a kind of guilty pleasure. Also, they are potato chips books, as in you always want one more. The characters of Maddock and Bones are very, very stereotypical ex navy seals, and somewhat one dimensional. Each book is based on a historical myth, and they are sometimes a little bit repetitive. But the action and adventure is great and very fast paced, and the books are enjoyable.
