Summary: Awesome Series
Review: After reading all of the Indiana Jones books by Max McCoy, I can only think of one word to describe them: awesome. The way that he writes the stories is almost similar in fashion to Rob MacGregor in the sense that they both capture the personality and character of Indiana Jones. It's almost as if you can hear Harrison Ford speaking in the dialog. Max also makes use of a constant element throughout all 4 of the Indiana Jones books which makes for an even more exciting read. In doing so, you see the progression of Indy's character throughout all 4 books and as such, I recommend reading the books in order.

Summary: Give it up Max!!!!
Review: Holy jesus Max McCoy, where do I begin. I started out reading your original three Indy books several years ago, it was just awful awful drivel that wasn't worth killing those poor trees for. I refused to pick up another of your books but after all this time I thought hey maybe you could mature and write something worthy of print. So I picked up this book, Ooops I was wrong. Snap your pens and pencils in half and let a semi run over your typewrite your finished

Summary: Not the best...
Review: I have read all of Rob MacGregor's, one of Caiden's (very poor Indiana Jones rendition in my opinion) and now all of Max McCoy's. First off I loved the early stories telling how Indy became an achaeologist, his college years, and the love of his life. Rob MacGregor captured the magic of Indiana Jones, and quite frankly the personality that we already knew from the three movies. He established a great continuity that I had hoped would follow over into rest of the books, but sadly did not once Martin Caiden took over the pen. I figured that Max McCoy would carry on with the continuity, but again I was disappointed. Something that Rob MacGregor made clear in Dance of the Giants, Seven Veils, and the Genesis Deluge was that Indiana Jones was married at one point in his life to a woman named Deirdre Campbell. In this book however, Faye Meskelyne asks if he had ever been married, and Indy replied "No I have never been married before." So whatever was established by MacGregor, was totally ignored by McCoy. Still Max gave out four really good novels, and I hope that in the future, if the Indiana Jones series is revived that the author sticks to the previous continuity of the other books.

Summary: good book for Indy fans
Review: I really enjoyed reading this, in fact I read the whole thing in one night. Very Raiders of the Lost Ark - esque, it's fast-paced, exciting, and pulls you right in. If you like Indiana Jones, the books and the movies, then you'll definitely like this.

Summary: Please...may I have some more?
Review: Read through the entire series and have been disappointed that this was the final volume in the series. Perhaps with the much anticipated Indy IV movie in the works, we can get some more novels.These books are a lot of fun and breezy Summer reads. Recommended!

Summary: INDY AT HIS BEST
Review: This book I bought and read 90% of it in 2 hrs. I couldn't put the book down and was one of the best if not the best McCoy has ever wrote. Buy! it's worth it!

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is great! It deals with finding the Staff of Aaron and racing against crazed Japanese wanting to find it too. One word of advice: You can read this book before reading the McCoy novels before it. It has no spoilers revealing events from previous books. As with all Indy novels, it has action, crazed villans, and the little bit of grotesque events in it. Just what you expect from an Indy novel. It is not as good to me as Hollow Earth was, but if you like Temple of Doom-type books, this is for you. I really liked it. You need to pick this up, its one of the best Indy novels, and the most recent.

Summary: Non stop action
Review: This is my first Indiana Jones book I belive I will read more of Max McCoy books because this book is non stop action,it begins with action and goes on except the last few pages but that is okay.I certanlly can say this is one of my favorite books but I still gave it only 4 stars because it is not the best book I have read,but it is pretty good I tell you, if you like to have adventure all the time you should really read this book. I recomend this book to ages 10-16.
