This book was fabulous! It had that kinda'temple of Doom' twisted feel. with a chubby chinese man who eats human hearts, packs of wild man eating dogs, people who force Indy and his group of travelers to gulp down something a LOT worse than anything i could imagine...This book is just AWESOME! I think Max Mycoy is just the BEST Indiana Jones author out there. He catches the perfect qualities of Indy, and Marcus Brody. I more than definantly recomend this book. Although I think it was a notch lower than the Philosipher's Stone (A book that Lucas and Spielberg MUST make into a movie) This book deserves a perfect 5.TREVOR
Thunder In The Orient

Without a doubt this was one the most action-packed of McCoy's Indy novels. The Mongolian desert, a warlord that eats human hearts- only Indiana Jones could overcome these obstacles and he does it like only he can! Whenever Indy spoke I could hear Harrison Ford. McCoy really captured the complete essence of Indy. The introductions of Belloq and Lao Che, the movies' best villains, were also great, as was the intro of Wu Han, the waiter in the opening scene in TEMPLE OF DOOM who was shot by one of Lao's sons. The nonstop action, one-liners and romance makes this a must-read for Indy fans. After Dinosaur Eggs anyone HAS to read Hollow Earth. George Lucas, you HAVE to make McCoy's Indy novels a film series! Every book is excellent. You're the man, Indy!
Must Read For Indy Fans

This was the best out of Max McCoy's Indy novels. Classic nonstop Indy action. One-liners so clever you hear Harrison Ford saying them. The Mongolian desert and a warlord who eats human hearts, who else but Indiana Jones to beat them both! The introductions of Belloq and Lao Che, the movies' best villains, were great. It's even better to see Indy outsmart them both. Before this one read Philosopher's Stone then Hollow Earth after. All 3 are Indy at his best and would make great films.Are you reading, George Lucas? Take my advice: read ALL of McCoy's Indy novels. Any true Indy fan has to read them all!
A taste of "Pure Indy"!

I loved this book. The setting in the harsh deserts of Mongolia: Perfect. The search for a surviving triceratops: Perfect. The characters of Granger, Loki, and Khan: Perfect. The introduction of two of the best villans from the movies: Yup, you guessed it, Perfect. The saga of the crystal skull takes an interesting twist, and McCoy remains my favorite Indy author.
