Fiction. Literature. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:??The name is Jones. Indiana Jones.?
He??s back. Everyone??s favorite globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again.
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 won

The final nail in the Indiana Jones franchise's coffin.
An old Indi is kidnapped by russians, along with a loser kid, who turns out to be his son by the woman from the first Indi movie. Aliens are at the heart of this adventure and they all go into a big black hole at the end or something.

Glad I read the book and didn't spend money on seeing the movie. ( )

In this novelization of the fourth (and by far the most inferior) Indiana Jones movie, James Rollins was given the task of making a credible novel out of this subpar story. By and large, I think Rollins comes up short. Perhaps it was because of the weak source material that he had to work with. Having never tried a movie novelization, I'm unfamiliar with the constraints placed in that situation. I can only review this as a reader and fan of the franchise.

However, there are some significant shortcomings. One is the campiness of the dialogue and some of the action. It had me rolling my eyes in spots. Jones lacks the panache he has in some of his earlier movies. The action really stretches the realm of believability. Furthermore, the introduction of aliens into the Indiana Jones storyline just doesn't work. It's like a romance movie turning into a slasher flick. It just doesn't fit the Indiana Jones motif. Just like the movie, the novel for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just isn't that good and I would advise skipping it.

Much better than I expected. It's a well read audio book and I think that makes the difference. I'm pretty sure it's not a book I'd want to sit down and read, but it was fun to listen to. ( )

I really love James Rollin's books. I love how he takes a historical tidbit of information and connects it to a slice of science, mixes it all together with a lot of adventure and a dash of romance and voilà!; I'm ready for an enjoyable read~

I also love how he points out the facts and the fiction at the end of his stories; more than once I have gotten lost on the internet satisfying my curiosity regarding the history/science he calls to attention there.

I think he does a great job with his protagonists, I find most to be really interesting and fleshed out. Sigma Force is a recurring theme in many of his stories and it adds another layer of interest for me, taking the adventure to the next level.

Rollin's novels are every bit as enjoyable to me as a big screen summer blockbuster; think I'll go get some popcorn~ ( )
