For more than two centuries the Oak Island Money Pit has baffled researchers and foiled treasure hunters, and when Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake take up the search, they get much more than they bargained for. Danger lies at every turn as they search for a treasure out of legend that dates back to the time of Christ.
Ancient wonders, hidden temples, mythical creatures, secret societies, and foes new and old await as Dane and Bones unravel a pirate’s deadly secret in Buccaneer.
Praise for the Dane Maddock Adventures
"David Wood delivers again in Buccaneer with a fast-paced romp through sunken treasure maps, hidden Templar churches and a secret organization that wants to resurrect an ancient kingdom. Dane Maddock and his sidekick Bones wisecrack their way through adventure, aided by Angel and Avery, two strong women who bring a romantic spin to this action-adventure chase. I loved the Cornish citadel with dragons guarding it and the echoes of Arthurian legend. Fantastic!" -J.F.Penn, author of the ARKANE thrillers.

It was the closest thing to a brave act he could manage in what might be the rest of his very short life. “Excellent. You’re doing very well. Now, do you know the locations of any other chests?” “No. Only the one.” “Anything at all? Rumors, legends?” “No. I swear.” he pleaded. He wanted desperately for the man to believe him. Maybe if he realized
moved his hips suggestively. “I do not see here that you have a job, or have ever held one.” She cocked her head and waited for a reply. “See now, I’ve worked here and there.” His smug grin flickered. “It’s hard, you know. Not many jobs to be had.” “You have never held a job for which you earned a salary or paid income taxes.” “So what if I haven’t? That’s not a crime now, is it?” “You are a parasite, Mister MacKenzie. Britain has provided you with support for your entire life, yet you repay
Her cocky façade dissolved in a girly shriek that, as soon as she realized she wasn’t plummeting to her death, at least not yet, turned her face scarlet. “I’m coming up to help you,” Maddock said. “Don’t you let go.” Avery gave her head a tiny shake, fearful that greater movement would dislodge her for good. “You can’t climb that!” Willis protested. “Sure I can. You just get back as quick as you can and bring Bones with some rope. I radioed as soon as I saw her, but I doubt they got the

Surprisingly, she absorbed the blow and grinned. “Is that all you got?” Fisher tensed, but Locke put a stop to his foolishness with a wave of his hand. “Enough.” Everyone fell silent, even the Indian girl. He turned to the deputies. “Something of value was stolen from the island

When she does talk history, it’s about England’s past greatness.” “That doesn’t sound so bad,” Avery said. “Her underlying message, and I’m paraphrasing here, is that the lowlifes and scum are dragging all of the United Kingdom down, and they’ve got to go. She wants all the resources that go to supporting the bottom feeders to go toward re-establishing their military strength and political influence. She
