About this listen
149 B.C.- Escaping just ahead of the invading Roman legions, a Carthaginian soldier carries an ancient secret to places unknown.
1925- Percy Fawcett launches his final expedition into the Amazon, but what is his true objective?
Dane Maddock is back. Deep in the Amazon, a university group encounters a horror beyond their darkest nightmares and vanishes without a trace. Called upon to undertake a daring rescue mission, Dane and Bones must trace the true path of Percy Fawcett's final expedition, but the secret that lies at the end of the search might be even deadlier than the enemies who seek it. From the streets of London, to remote islands in the Atlantic, to the deadly jungles of the Amazon, Dane and Bones must penetrate a secret lost to history, on their deadliest Quest.

excellent listen

It is a Maddock and Bonebrake book and their relationship is as solid and humerous as in other books. Again, the story revolves around certain myths we all know and it is a good background for a rip roaring adventure. Lost cities, ancient tribes, dangerous waterfalls and amazon monsters made for a good listen.
Highly recommended

Cool!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Quest: A Dane Maddock Adventure?
I loved this book from start to finish. It's my first Dane Maddock adventure and obviously it's not book one but you don't need to read the rest to enjoy it. It was brilliant. In fact I'm going to have to get the rest I enjoyed it so much.If I get into memorable moments I will ruin the story, so to be deliberately vague. I liked it when they got to the place they were looking for and got the revelations around their destination.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I loved the way they started the book which is sort of a two pronged start of ancient tim s then back to modern day. Equally the way they end on finding their destination is brilliant as is the journey to get there.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It's more action than drama but I did like it when they were piecing the clues together and Bones proposes. Laugh out loud moment that was very, very funny. Also the scene with the explorers descendent was a nice scene. We have a great story and a brilliant selection of characters. It's a really great book.Any additional comments?
This review copy audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost.Amazing action, story and narration.

David Wood has written a decent adventure story, set amidst the natural dangers of uncharted jungle and the more unnatural ones of violent adversaries and historic myths dating back two thousand years. A decent, if totally far fetched and foolish, story to just sit back and let the waterfall sprayi run over you. The narration, by Jeffrey Kaffer, was excellent, adding depth and helping to develop character, so making the whole book experience more enjoyable.
My thanks to the rights holder of Quest who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Free Audiobook Codes. A fun and easy adventure read for lighter moments.
