Neptune’s Key is a pirate fantasy published under David Wood’s pen name David Debord. The story follows Finn, a young man in a sleepy fishing town who dreams of adventure on the high seas. When a messenger arrives with a secret message, Finn gets pulled into a race to stop the deadliest pirates on the seas from gaining a power long thought to be legend.
The book has been described as an action-packed Caribbean pirate fantasy with magic, sly humor, and a sense of wonder. It is a lighter, more playful read than Wood’s adventure thrillers, closer in spirit to classic swashbuckler fiction. For readers who know Wood primarily through the Dane Maddock books, Neptune’s Key shows a different side of his storytelling.
