Any additional comments?

This Being the first book in the Dan and Bones Origin Series was a great read this one didn't disappoint at all
I read the previous 6 books in the Dane Maddock Adventures and they were just Amazing if you like this book then get the 6 book in the Dane Maddock Adventures and listen to more adventures with dane and bones..

If you really want in

Nice story about the beginnings of friendship and how one can find unexpected friends when least expecting to. Nice foundation story for the series.

A great story

Any additional comments?

A novella full of intrigue, action and friendship. While I listened to this I couldn't help but smirk every now and then when something was revealed or happened that had been eluded too in other books (the Dane Maddock Adventure series), it's one of the reasons I like origin stories but this one seemed to do it better than most. A talent that David Wood seems to have at capturing a readers attention. It was really interesting seeing how Dane and Bones' friendship came to be. I listened to it in one sitting...it is that good. Kafer did as he always does and captivates the listener as he tells the story as only he can.

Just OK

Pretty shallow mystery, along the lines of those movies about finding secrets in the constitution etc. I hope the rest of the series is better not sure if I dare waste a credit on the next one or not. OK narration. It great but ok with a limited cast.

Freedom

I found this book a really good read. The narrator is excellent and keeps you in the story.

Dane & Bones

It could’ve been history or was it. I started this book thinking maybe it was not for me, but once I got into the meat of the book I couldn’t put it down, the narration was good, the author did an outstanding job of pulling this book together...Yes I would recommend this book

Freedom

What did you like best about Freedom? What did you like least?

Freedom is short novel but either way it is a full-length fantastic book, and the narrator did a good job reading this audiobook. It is another great offering in the Dane Maddock series.

LOWER PEOPLE'S EXPECTIONS AND IT'S EASIER TO TAKE

THEM BY SURPRISE
These guys like to write about history, with a heavy dose of conspiracy theory. This involves the founding fathers and a secret society. I did not get into this story, but the concept is a fun one and I will continue the series. I do like the characters. Good characters can cover for a meh story.

I'LL SPEND HALF MY PAY ON CHEAP BEER AND WOMEN, THE OTHER HALF I'LL WASTE.

Interesting Take on the Revolutionary War

First let me say that the narration was great. I enjoyed Mr. Kafer's acting of the characters in the book and thought he brought them to life. For the story, 3.5 stars, an interesting take and a new twist on a theme I have seen before. However, I really liked the characters of Dane and Bones and will look into more of their stories.
