Serpent — David Wood

What lurks in the heart of the jungle? High in the Andes, Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake discover a secret prison cell where a Spanish explorer lived out his final days. The words carved into the wall seem like the ravings of a madman, but they are the key that opens the door to an ancient mystery. Hidden somewhere in the depths of the Peruvian Amazon is the Inca's lost City of the Serpent, the gateway to the underworld. Boundless treasure and unimaginable power lie in wait for those who are clever enough to follow the clues left by the mysterious Cloud People. But Maddock and Bones are not the only ones searching for the city, and to get there they must brave the perils of the jungle and the deadly guardians of the underworld as they come face to face with the giant serpent of the Amazon. Classic adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Dirk Pitt, and National Treasure will love the Dane Maddock adventures! Praise for David Wood and The Dane Maddock Adventures! 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 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.

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 twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!  Robert Masello, author of The Einstein Prophecy 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 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
