Dane Maddock: Destination Adventure #3
Destination: Sofia
Classic adventure for the modern reader!
What secrets lie in the depths of Bulgaria’s mysterious Tsarichina Hole? Aliens? Demons? Treasure? It’s up to Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake to solve one of the strangest mysteries of the Twentieth Century.
Dane and Bones have traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria to help their friend Max Riddle shoot a new documentary television show about the Tsarichina Hole, a shaft excavated by the Bulgarian military in the early 1990s, on the advice of a psychic remote viewer, and then abruptly sealed for no apparent reason.
Riddle has found a back door into the excavation, known to many as “Bulgaria’s Area 51,” and asks Dane and Bones to help him explore the passage to nowhere. Their discovery of a prized relic belonging to a famed Bulgarian conqueror touches off a search for an even greater treasure, and threatens to expose a secret that someone is willing to kill to preserve.
Praise for David Wood and The Dane Maddock Adventures!
“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.”-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 Lynn Golemon, Author of the Event Group series
“A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!” -Robert Masello, author of The Einstein Prophecy
“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

Книгата е за три от приключенията на Дейн Мадок и Юрая Боунс. По сюжет е приключенска, трилър и екшън. Има високо-адреналинови преследвания, скачания с парапланер, балони с горещ въздух, търсене на съкровища, интересни исторически разкази и легенди, вплетени в сюжета.
Мадок и Боунс са търсачи на артефакти и съкровища. Плаща им се от правителствата, за да търсят изчезнали исторически предмети и скъпоценности. Те са бивши американски тюлени и като такива могат да се измъкват от всяка ситуация, разбира се :). В тази книга те имат три приключения: в Рио де Жанейро, Луксор в Египет и в България. Заминавайки за София те трябва да намерят нещо в Царичина, търсят и в пещерата Проходна и обикалят българската столица. Нарочно не споменавам какви са им приключенията и какво са търсели, за да ги преживеете и вие.
Четейки я, все едно гледате приключенски филм с елементи, взаимствани от Индиана Джоунс. Книгата е пълна с адреналинови ситуации, преследвания и много екшън, със сигурност ще се хареса на мъжете. Има и какво да се научи от нея, състои се от исторически препратки, интересни случки и легенди, които може да ви подтикнат да потърсите повече информация или да ви заинтригуват да проверите какви са тези митове. Жалко, че останалите не са преведени и се разделих със съжаление с Мадок и Боунс.

Another Solid Maddock and Bones Outing. In this book, Dane Maddock and adventure partner Bones Bonebrake find themselves on an all expense paid trip to Bulgaria to investigate the Tsarichina Hole, courtesy of the Bulgarian government. The usual extreme sports, mystery, and action - along with a bit of historical oddities - come into play, and we get another solid entry into this world. Good enough entry point into the series, with references to previous events but primarily focused on the current events, and also solid for long time fans. Very much recommended.

Another successful and thrilling adventure with Maddock and Bones. This time they went to Bulgaria to meet with Riddle and the thrills and spills just kept on getting better and better. A bit predictable where Slava was concerned but still a good read. Dane and Bones never fail to please.

Entertaining
David Wood brings adventure to life, his research and ideas for stories give enjoyment to reading. What I enjoy about his writing is that you can see adventure through his eyes.

Много приятна изненада. Даже ще си купя и другите книги от поредицата. Постарали са се авторите с историческите проучвания ( с малки забележки).

This one was especially interesting because it dealt with some parts of the world and tales that were new to me, and of course, very interesting and fun!!
