“Indiana Jones meets The Rocketeer in this thrilling, old-school adventure!” Matt James, author of The Forgotten Fortune A beast out of legend guards a deadly secret! When investigative reporter Trinity Page disappears without a trace, Brock Stone embarks on a perilous mission to find her. Deep in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the logging town has been beset by disappearances, and the locals lay the blame at the feet of giant ape man the natives call Sasquatch. But the dense forests and remote mountain valleys harbor even greater dangers, and the forces of an ancient order will stop at nothing to protect the secret! In order to survive, Brock Stone and his friends must unlock a conspiracy that dates back to the Lewis and Clark expedition! Classic adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Dane Maddock, and National Treasure will love the Brock Stone Adventures! Praise for David Wood! “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 “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 “David Wood has done it again. Within seconds of opening the book, I was hooked. Intrigue, suspense, monsters, and treasure hunters. What more could you want? David's knocked it out of the park with this one!” Nick Thacker- author of The Enigma Strain “A twisty tale of adventure and intrigue that never lets up and never lets go!” Robert Masello, author of The Einstein Prophecy “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 “Let there be no 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

Fun, Short, Indiana Jones Type Adventure. A lot of times when I say something is "Indiana Jones type Adventure", I usually mean that it has elements of travel, mysterious ancient artifact and/ or creature, some action of both gun and non-gun type, and usually some form of "Bond girl"... but set in current-ish times. With this book... no. You still get all of that, but the setting itself is actually Indiana Jones type as well - set in the early 30s, though completely in the US. Wood even manages to toss in a line or two about current real world affairs, *very* tightly disguised and well within scope of the characters, setting, and plot. (Which is one reason I love Wood and many of the authors I've long associated in his loose group of authors who have at times collaborated together - he does this so well, yet also so minimally.) Also quite a bit of humor that transcends time period here. All in a fairly short (half ish the length of a standard Maddock adventure, from his long running Dane Maddock series) book that is truly a very quick yet fun read. Very much recommended.
