![]() ![]() Since its available in English now, I won't spoil any further details. It's certainly one of the better ones in general. While this isn't my favourite of the Hohlbein books (that honour belongs to Labyrinth of Horus), The finale even takes more than a little bit of inspiration from that film! In fact, the level of gruesomeness can be on par with Temple of Doom. There's a sense of humour consisting of plenty exaggerations and sarcastic descriptions.Īt the same time, it's not a comedy. ![]() The writing (in Dutch) is very entertaining. Indy gets beat up (a lot!!) and gets scared as well.īut just as we know and love him, he perseveres all the same and comes out on top in the end. What it IS, is a straightforward adventure with a very human hero. And it's less philosophical than Caidin too. I'm lucky to have all his books in Dutch, but I just discovered *this* one was translated to ENGLISH on the 22nd of March this year!Ĭompared to McGregor, there is a lot less historical detail involved. Just finished reading his chronological first Indiana Jones one, set in 1929-1932. ![]()
