Critic reviews

“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)

“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)

“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)

good reads

I liked the story.But I don't like how the story went from diving for treasure to hunting monsters

Short but fun!

Bones is in his element in the adventure when the treasure hunting pair find themselves on the hunt for a famous cryptid! Short but fun adventure and great audio narration!

The story kept me hooked.

Some of the dialogue was pretty poorly written. But, the story caught my interest from the beginning and kept it. I liked the narrator. I would definitely be interested in listening to the other Dane Maddock books.

awesome

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! excellent overall

Missed the mark for me.

I am a huge Dane and Bones fan, so I was quite disappointed in this edition.
I felt like the back story of the artifacts, the source or origin of their mystical powers, how the prehistoric monster was guided to guard the treasure generation after generation, and especially the secret society and their motivations were almost completely overlooked.
I read this series for what it is, a fun predictable adventure series with familiar characters who always prevail, and I don't except a ton of depth from each book, but I feel like this one really missed the mark for me and only left me vaguely aware of what was really going on.

I actually enjoyed the character of Grizzly and although I haven't encountered him in any of the other books, I hope he pops up again. He was the perfect level of "douche" and made me laugh.
