Publisher's summary

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.

I like.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
This book was great. Coming from someone who grew up in a generation of people wanting to be Indiana Jones, this hero has chops. It's an intelligent crew that will deal in violence, but would just as soon hang out in peace an use their minds to solve problems. Not too much machismo, not too lovey dovey. A good adventure story.

Action adventure

I enjoyed the story. Fast paced, action adventure. But is was to rushed. More detail and description would make it better for me.
The narrator was good.

Wow!!!

David Wood is a new author to, while Jeffrey Kafer is one of my favorite narrators. I absolutely loved this story with all of the action. Scenes of this book reminded me of some movies that I have loved. The author did a great job with the visualization and descriptions. The narrator did a fantastic job conveying suspense, awe, and tension. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. This story is a standalone listen. I will look for more books by this author and narrator. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

You certainly will not fall asleep on THIS one!

Bought this on the cheap from Audible, and did I ever get a deal!

The story: Dane, Bones, and the rest of their crew are treasure hunters. They decide to try their hand in digging or whatever it takes to get to the pirate treasure on the island off the Eastern coast of Canada which has thwarted many and cost both money and lives in others attempts. Will try to avoid spoilers, but here we have a fine interweaving of actual places and real history with several known and intriguing legends. Throw in plot twists, two different sets of evil bad guys, kidnappings, action and adventure, and lots of wiseassery and badassery, and you have this really great read!

Kafer does a great job with this one. Character interpretations and differentiations are clear and very well done, and the narrative parts are clearly presented. He is engaged with his narration and it clearly shows!

Indiana Jones who? Maddock and Bones all the way!

Whenever I need an action adventure fix, I pick up another Maddock Adventure or go back and re-listen to one in my library. I know I'll find humor, adventure, bad guys and even badder women. The mix of history fact and fiction is just the right amount.

Buccaneer will not disappoint. It hits all the right spots and continues to let us see the brotherhood between Maddock and Bones. I've found each of story works well as stand-alones. Someday, I may start from the very beginning!

I received a free copy. My review is hones and unbiased.

Mature content: no graphic sex or violence, some mild language and crude humor

Another Great Adventure

This series of books is just amazing and this book is no exception. Dane Maddock is (in my opinion) even better than Indiana Jones. If you like hidden temples, mythical objects, and great adventure with a dash of history and excellent fiction writing... Then you need this series.

Jeffery Kafer is, of course, one of my favorite narrators. He is definitely in my top 3 of all time. Excellent narration as usual.

I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.

Treasure hunting meets legends.

Treasure hunting meets legends.
Oh my what can I say loved it couldn't put it down or rather stop listening. I listened to this while first working then while playing.
Move over Indiana Jones, there are new adventurers in in town.
I've never read/listened to David Wood before but it definitely won't be the last one I read. I'm looking forward to more of his work.
The narrator does a superb job he kept me riveted.
This audiobook was given to me for free at my request from the publisher or author or narrator and I provided this voluntary review.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Action-packed, Easy-to-read, Entertaining, Great world building, Page-turner, Unpredictable, Witty, Wonderful characters.
