Baal

by David Wood and C B Matson

“An action-packed, globe-trotting thriller!”


King David’s lyre wields a great and terrible power. With it, David raised thunderstorms, controlled the beasts of land and sky, and conquered a kingdom. Until it drove him mad. Now, a power-hungry cult leader seeks to harness its power to bring the world to its knees, and it’s up to former Navy SEALs turned treasure hunters, Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake, to find the lyre before it falls into the hands of the minions of Prester John.
The modern world meets ancient power in the globe-trotting adventure, BAAL!


Classic adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Doc Savage, and National Treasure will love Dane Maddock!

Wild Ride Action Adventure. This one has everything - exotic (at least to American audiences) locations throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, unintentional/ intentional skydiving, long distance endurance swimming, running from bad guys via various means, lots of guns, a few explosions here and there... and a touch of the mystic, just because this *is* Maddock and Bones and, well, that's kind of what they do these days in particular. :) This time, they're back with the more complete team, and as such this *is* one of the longer, more involved adventures - this isn't one of the shortish adventures that may be able to be read in an hour or two, but it also isn't so long as to feel out of place in the overall series or genre. So sit back, strap in, and enjoy the ride. Very much recommended.
