Product Description:
“The name is Jones. Indiana Jones.”
He’s back. Everyone’s favorite globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again–hurtling headfirst into high adventure and relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble. But the man in the jaunty brown fedora and battered leather jacket is no ordinary digger in the dirt. From the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant to the legendary Holy Grail, he’s salvaged the world’s most amazing artifacts, while beating the baddest villains and defying the most breathtaking odds.
Now it’s 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who’s as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious–and powerful–than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension.
Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he’s tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat.
Fate, however, has other plans. Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague’s kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy’s back in the game–playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.

After re-reading the first three Indiana Jones movie adaptions, it came time to go through "The Crystal Skull". I'd seen the film twice, liking it better the second time, so I was hopeful that the novel would be a nice fill-in while we wait for the dvd coming soon.
I'm not really acquainted with the author, James Rollins, and his other work. It appears from the dedications and forward that he really likes the character, so that was good to see. I tend to enjoy a book more when I know ... Read More

This novelization is about as fun as the movie. There are a few things not in the movie (possibly deleted scenes or the author's own additions) that make this a good, easy read.

Maui H.S. Coming during a time when I decided to enjoy lighter read books; I couldn't be happier. Indy is drawn into a search for the resting place of the thirteen crystal skulls associated with the ancient Mayans.
Indiana meets up with former associates, but at last with my favorite Indiana Jones character, Marion Ravenhead. I had loved her since the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. After that movie I had hoped Indiana hooked up with her. I loved all Indiana movies, but was always ... Read More

Indiana Jones returns in his latest thriller where Russians, archaeology, and his own past collide....
Colonel Doctor Irina Spalko wants to gain knowledge, all the knowledge out there. In fact, she specializes in psychic research so it is no surprise she wants her hands on a relic thought to offer exactly that: knowledge. Indiana was part of the original team that located the relic, now located in that hidden warehouse in Nevada, but Spalko is determined to do whatever it takes to obtain ... Read More
