Title: Indiana Jones books?
Post by: Rico on April 13, 2011, 06:22:48 AM
I'm looking for some suggestions for good Indy fiction to read.  I've wondered why Dr. Jones doesn't have a solid line of books going like "Star Wars" or Trek has?  I see a few on Amazon, but looking for some feedback on what might be good.

P.S.  Maybe I need to write one?  ;)

Hm, I haven't ever heard much in the way of Indy EU. I feel like I remember some Young Indiana Jones Chronicles "teen fiction" books but not much outside of that.

A complete listing of all the Indy novels can be seen here:

I've sampled some of the Bantam ones at used book stores over the years and the writing quality was pretty poor. However, I'm sure any Indy fanatic would have to have a complete collection regardless of quality. So there ya go!

I have a couple laying around and I also have the "Raiders" novelization too.  Just been itching for a good Indy story to read.

I have about 12 of the series from Bantam. The Genesis Deluge was really good. I didn't like the Sky Pirates at all. Skip that one! I'm going to see how I rated the other ones I have read.

I rated most in the 7 and 8 range. Genesis Deluge I gave a 9. I also saw a newer one at the book store Sat. but I don't recall the title. There is also a new one being released soon.
