Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The latest Indiana Jones adventure once again requires readers to suspend disbelief and enter a world of twisted danger, black magic and archaeological intrigue. This time, the Princeton professor travels through the Orient, India and Egypt, circa 1934, in search of the Omega Book. Long buried under the Sphinx of Giza, it's an invaluable instrument of the occult that allows its owner to rewrite destiny. As usual, a band of villains closely trails Indy and his chums. Full of vivid subplots and ancient lore, the book reads like a rollicking history lesson. In a lengthy afterword, McCoy (Indiana Jones and the Hollow Earth) offers detailed descriptions of three archeological findings heavily featured in the story.

Product Description
It is the most coveted of all ancient artifacts. In it is written the history—and the fate—of every human being. And he who owns it writes his own destiny. Now Indiana Jones follows a trail of danger, magic, and archaeological mystery through the war-torn Orient, from Rangoon to the Egyptian desert, searching for the secret underground hiding place of the all-powerful Omega Book. But with a beautiful woman seeking her missing magician husband, and a vengeance-crazed Japanese spymaster hot on his heels, Indy is running out of time. If the Omega Book falls into the wrong hands, not only his own fate but the fate of the world will be at the mercy of a madman bent on writing humanity’s final chapter!

This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx (Mass Market Paperback)
Holy jesus Max McCoy, where do I begin. I started out reading your original three Indy books several years ago, it was just awful awful drivel that wasn't worth killing those poor trees for. I refused to pick up another of your books but after all this time I thought hey maybe you could mature and write something worthy of print. So I picked up this book, Ooops I was wrong. Snap your pens and pencils in half and let a semi run over your typewrite your finished

Not the best...,
By Moran (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all of Rob MacGregor's, one of Caiden's (very poor Indiana Jones rendition in my opinion) and now all of Max McCoy's. First off I loved the early stories telling how Indy became an achaeologist, his college years, and the love of his life. Rob MacGregor captured the magic of Indiana Jones, and quite frankly the personality that we already knew from the three movies. He established a great continuity that I had hoped would follow over into rest of the books, but sadly did not once Martin Caiden took over the pen. I figured that Max McCoy would carry on with the continuity, but again I was disappointed. Something that Rob MacGregor made clear in Dance of the Giants, Seven Veils, and the Genesis Deluge was that Indiana Jones was married at one point in his life to a woman named Deirdre Campbell. In this book however, Faye Meskelyne asks if he had ever been married, and Indy replied "No I have never been married before." So whatever was established by MacGregor, was totally ignored by McCoy. Still Max gave out four really good novels, and I hope that in the future, if the Indiana Jones series is revived that the author sticks to the previous continuity of the other books.
