David Wood (14) (1967–)

Action Packed Quick Hits. This is a collection of short stories and a novella that work well to both allow long time fans of the series to have a bit more fun reading about the team's adventures (mostly alone or with just Maddock and Bones) and to allow new readers a chance to sample the overall style of the universe without necessarily committing to an entire book to get a complete story. Overall truly a fun, quick read and great for when you maybe only have a few minutes at a time to read.

A note for those familiar with Wood's other recent book, SERPENT: VENOM is the novella here, which features the same creature as SERPENT... except it is the same creature in name only. The entire characterization of the creature, from the way it looks to the way it behaves to the secrets behind it, are entirely different between the two tales, and indeed really the only similarities at all are that Bones is in both, they are both set in the same general place on the planet, and they feature a giant snake they both use the same name to denote. So don't be afraid to read *both* stories. :D

Excellent collection, and very much recommended.… (mehr)

Liberty: A Dane and Bones Origins Story
Dane Maddock Origins, Book 5
By: David Wood, Edward G. Talbot
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer
The two Navy Seals are taking R&R but get caught up in a mystery when a group called the Sons of the Republic decide they know too much. They start following leads to see what the group is hiding. It seems they were trying to find something that could change American history!
The story is fast, furious, and sprinkled heavily with funny dialogue that kept me giggling! Unpredictable situations kept popping up and equally unlikely escapes also happened! It was a wild but enjoyed ride with two crazy dudes! I will definitely get more of these books! This was book 5 in the series but I didn't feel lost about not reading any of the previous ones.
If you love a good action packed book with snarky, but not annoying, characters, suspense, all crammed in a short book then this is for you!
The narrator was Jeffrey Kafer, so I don't need to tell you that the narration was excellent!… (mehr)

Changeling
Jade Ihara Adventures Book 2
By: David Wood, Sean Ellis
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer
I love these books! They're like a female Indiana Jones! Lots of action, mystery, touch of fantasy, suspense, and loads of fun! In this book Jade and the Professor are searching for the truth about Archimedes death, and secrets that have been kept from history. While they are pursuing the truth, the head of a Muslim group is after them and another group that is a broad branch of extremists that have changelings, someone made to look like others. So Jade and Professor have to resort to strange tactics to stay alive!
What a wild ride! Changelings, extremists, deadly secrets, thrills, and lots of suspense!
Narration was terrific! Really put you in the action. I picked this book due to who was narrating and boy was I happy with both narration and content!
I received this book from freeaudiblecodes and the review is voluntary.… (mehr)
