Overview: The “Dane Maddock Adventures” is a series about two treasure hunters Dane Maddock (an ex- Navy SEALS) and his partner Uriah “Bones” Bonebrake (also ex- Navy SEALS) as they run an underwater salvage team. The books usually start with a chapter about how the people who lost the treasure came to lose it. The rest of the book centers around our heroes trying to find it. The pair usually work with a beautiful blond woman that they come across throughout the course of their case, who the flirt with and spend time trying to find the treasure with. The woman they work with in the books is not just a pretty face, but great at her job and an archaeology or something. It features some Biblical archaeology touches, mystery/ thriller touches; the series has some aspects of speculative fiction in it.

01. Dourado (2004)
“Dourado” is the first book in the Dane Maddock Adventures by David Wood. It is also Wood’s debut novel. A brig Dourado, sailing in late January of 1829, loses some priceless treasures that were taken from the Holy Land; the ship goes down near the coast of Indonesia. A man (who was Dane’s old commanding officer) goes looking for the treasure and the Dourado, but is murdered. His daughter, Kaylin Maxwell, hires a man and his friend: Dane and Bones to find this Biblical treasure. Finding the treasure could call into question everything that people have long believed. He has to deal with killers and bad guys and his own demons.
Readers liked the characters, feeling that they are fully developed people; including the hero, Dane who is a flawed and human character. They also liked that they book has an entertaining plot, that the characters fit very nicely into. Fans liked the way the plot builds and builds into something that sweeps the characters up into a grand and international conspiracy that is sure to bring the book to a nice end. Fans like the book for being a nice fun read. People who did not like the book found it to have a middle that is bogged down, with too much mention of God and religion, without a plot that was at all plausible; writing that is paint by numbers, and derivative story. Some feel that the book has bad guys thrown in, just so that locale is not left out and it gives the leads someone to fight while they are there. A few readers found this book to be in the middle of the pack; not bad, not great and above all, forgettable.
