: : Could anyone here name a few good Indy Novels?

:I'd recommend at LEAST these four: All three Max McCoy novels; "Indiana Jones and the Philopher's Stone", "...and the Dinosaur Eggs", and "...and the Hollow Earth". Also, Rob MacGregor's second novel (and second in the series), "Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants". I really enjoyed that one.

I agree completely with Aragorn. McCoy's are definitely the best, MacGregor the second. And "Dance of the Giants" is the best MacGregor to start with. Don't bother with Caiden. It took me months (it seems) to get through Sky Pirates, and I wasn't even able to finish White Witch. There are actually four McCoy novels now, since "Secret of the Sphinx" just came out. I'm reading it now, so I can't really recommend it yet until I've finished. If you had to pick only one Indy book, I'd definitely suggest McCoy's "Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone." It's the very best, and the most like any of the movies.
