The Dane Maddock Universe series expands the world David Wood built in his main Dane Maddock novels. These books feature a mix of familiar and new characters dealing with their own adventures, all set against the same backdrop of hidden history, ancient artifacts, and shadowy organizations. Several of the entries are collaborations with other authors who bring their own style to the shared setting.
The range of stories here is broad. Some lean into supernatural territory, while others stick closer to the treasure-hunting formula of the main series. Titles like Berserk and Shasta explore cryptid encounters, while others dig into conspiracies and lost civilizations. The Dane Maddock Universe Collections bundle several of these shorter works together for readers who want to binge through the expanded world.
For fans who have already read the core Dane Maddock books and want more, this series offers a large catalog of additional stories. The collaborative approach also introduces readers to other authors in the adventure thriller space.
