Classic adventure for the modern reader!

On January 25, 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 Dourado, and recover a lost Biblical artifact, the truth behind which could shake the foundations of the church, and 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.

Praise for David Wood and the Dane Maddock Adventures

“Rip roaring action from start to finish. Wit and humor throughout. 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 L. Golemon, Author of Ancients, Event, Legend, and Leviathan

“A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!” Robert Masello, author of Bestiary and Blood and Ice

“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

“Dourado is a brisk read, reminiscent of early Cussler adventures, and perfect for an afternoon at the beach or a cross-country flight. You'll definitely want more of Maddock.” Sean Ellis- Author of Into the Black

    3.0 out of 5 stars Yeah! So so.
    Reviewed in Australia on July 31, 2015

    I think the thing with subjects that are so intriguing is that in most cases the author doesn't give the subject matter enough time. It's all bang, bang, you're dead, fifty bullets in your head. If one is going to write about archaeological treasure then it has to mean something. Not just an item to chase.
    David Wood is good on the bang bang bit, but not particularly good at enhancing the subject matter to make me want to read more of his books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great first novel from a new author that packs a wallop
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Monsieur le Chevalier Louis Domenic de Rienzi is the unluckiest man I know - or at least know of. He has made a discovery that will literally shock the world. It's 1829 and de Rienzi is sailing back to France with a hold full of precious artifacts, including one in particular that will reshape our knowledge of history and of the Bible.

    From watching the history channel ,I know enough about the power of the early church in Rome to know that anything threatening their stranglehold on religious power and the minds of the people would have been met with swift (and often violent) action. In this case, it appears that no action was necessary as nature took a hand in the game and gutted the Dourado, ripping it's hold open with submerged rocks and sending her to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

    The plot may be somewhat familiar: ex-Navy seals running an underwater salvage team run up against some hard luck on their current project and along comes a beautiful stranger with a tale of fantastic treasure to take the edge off their disappointment. The excitement of this new mission soon wears off though, as more than one mysterious group of very dangerous adversaries begins to take an unhealthy interest in Maddock's business.

    Wood's heroic but very human (and even slightly flawed) protagonists romp around the world, squaring off against the mysterious baddies who are the self-appointed guardians of the aforementioned secret. Dane Maddock, former-Navy SEAL turned salvage diver answers a call for help from Kaylin Maxwell, the daughter of his old CO, and is thrust into a treasure hunt that begins in the sunken wreck of a ship called Dourado, and ends--almost literally--at the gates of Hell. Along the way, Maddock battles a team of killers and wrestles with his own personal demons, but he's not alone. He gets some help from his long-time friend and comrade in arms, Uriah "Bones" Bonebreak, and equal parts help and trouble from the lovely Kaylin. Wood keeps his characters in the forefront, and lets the relic and the mystery surrounding it take a back seat, which is really what fans of the action-thriller genre want. When he finally does pull back the curtain a little, the secret is a whopper.

    I can't discuss the final scenes without giving away too much of the story. Suffice it to say that Mr. Wood has crafted an amazing story that combines adventure, faith, history and excitement in equally fascinating measure. I'm currently reading the next in the series - Cibola and will write a review for it soon.

    The ship pulled you right into the story and the characters kept you going. I was happy with the book and am enjoyed it. I don’t agree with the theology at all but keep reading, good ending, and on to the next book.
