Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Adventerous Book
Review: Actually, I think this book deserves three and a half stars. The plot was excellent. I looked forward to reading about Indiana Jones exploring the inner earth and finding a race of "supermen", but as so often happens in fiction books, small details get missed that cause the book not to be as good as would have been had these details not been overlooked. First of all, everyone who's seen the Indiana Jones Trilogy well knows that Indiana Jones is a rather crusty, if intelligent character. This book, however, presents him in such a way that I expect he should be eating scones with Earl Grey tea. His vocabulary in the book was definitely more British than American (why, I wonder?). Actually I found the dialog for most of the characters, well...rather out of character. Secondly, I was dismayed at the poor German used in the book. For example, the author has an SS man using the word "javolt". The correct word is "jawohl". Additionally, the author mistranslates the SS motto by stating that it means "my honor is pure" rather than "my honor is loyalty". A quick look at a German dictionary would have done the trick. It was still a fun story even though it stretched credibility in these areas.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book and it's chaacter is for the older generation...
Review: It was the generation of movie goers that saw Indiana Jones at the theaters that like these books and the recently released movies on DVD, more then the punk kids who will know nothing about mythology and true comic book like heroes and stories except the sholack on the Internet and the Marix Garbage movies now.Anyway, this book is partly based on an Indiana Jones comic story that Marvel published in 83. It's old time fashioned heroes with well written stories that these novles tap into, and they still work. So THERE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book, fun to read, Max McCoy's best Indy novel yet
Review: Max McCoy didn't write a good book with IndianaJones and the Dinosaur Eggs, but this new book ismore action-packed, exciting, and hard to putdown once you get into it. Max is an intelligentauthor and knows how to write a good Indy adventure featuring humor, suspense and exciting situation (maybe not as exciting as the movies, but those are hard to convey on paper... "Indy is chased by a huge boulder..." See what I mean?) All in all, a book worth buying if you are into Indy adventure novels.Carlos DaSilv

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What's Next Quad?
Review: We have been teased with 3 Max McCoy's books, when does the next Indiana Jones book come out? I just don't like it when a hero forgets his adventures. Overall, McCoy does a fine job with the spirit of adventure that is Indiana Jones.
