Product Description
Product Description
Having barely survived a hair-raising archaeological dig in Tikal, Guatemala, Indiana Jones has returned to New York just in time to get caught up in a controversy. The mysterious writings of Colonel Percy Fawcett, a missing British explorer, have turned up, and what they describe could revolutionize history—and make or break several scientific reputations. For Percy paints a tantalizing picture of a lost city in the Brazilian jungle, and a mythical redheaded race who may be the descendants of ancient Celtic Druids.
No one loves mystery or adventure more than Indiana Jones. So with his trusty bullwhip in hand and the lovely Deirdre Campbell firmly in tow, he sets out for the wilds of the Amazon. But Indy has more enemies than he knows, including a bunch of hard-nosed thugs and a cannibalistic Indian tribe that is out to make him instant history. And if he survives what they throw in his path, there’s still the fabled city itself . . . where the inhabitants practice the magic of the “seven veils” and no one leaves alive!

In this adventure Indy is sent off to South America to find an English explorer who has vanished in the Amazon while searching for a lost tribe. He takes Deirdre along with him, marrying her on the way. Once in Rio they meet with local hostiles who hound them all the way into the jungle where things get murky and needlessly complicated with too many 'dreaming' twists as the lost tribe mess with Indy's mind.
Yawn! I understand that Rob MacGregor is writing to demand and deadlines here rather than from the heart, but come on! The only impressive thing about this book is MacGregor's research into Celtic tribes. Merlin from the previous book turns up again, would you believe. It's probably all nonsense (I ain't an archaeologist) but it interesting theory nonetheless and it ties in nicely with the previous book (Note: Read these order).
Hardcore Indy fans should check it out. Casual readers would be better off looking elsewhere for their fix of pulp.

The whole point of the book, searching for the lost city in South America, is definitely one worthy of Indiana Jones. However, the book just wasn't written with enough adventure to satisfy me. This is the ninth Indy book I've read, and I must say that I like the way MacGreggor Links Stonehenge, the Omphalos, And the lost city.

Okay this book started well, Just one mythological thing(the city)he didn't take it too far(kept it in line with the temple of doom) AND THEN HE PUTS MERLIN IN THE BOOK! What was he thinking? Does he have to put a dead mythological guy in every book? Come on Rob, Merlin had NO PLACE in this book! It would have been one of your best! Too bad man, Too bad!
