Book Description
England, 1930. It begins when a gang of hooded thugs breaks into the secluded home of a modern-day witch deep in the mysterious New Forest. Stolen is a map that will lead Indiana Jones and fiery fellow archaeologist Gale Parker to an incredible discovery. Somewhere in the world is hidden an enormous hoard of gold, including ancient coins from the time of Christ . . . coins meant to spread Christianity.
With the aid of a young mistress of Wicca, the age-old religion of white witchcraft, Indy and Gale risk their lives on a round-the-world quest for the long-lost treasures. Racing them to find it is a cunning and ruthless criminal mastermind who has set his sights on world domination. But Indy and Gale have formidable weapons: the powers of Wicca, the sword of the legendary Merlin, and Indy’s own adventurous brand of magic.

Is this really Indy?,
By Moran (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the White Witch (Mass Market Paperback)
I just started reading the Indiana Jones series and was quite impressed with Rob MacGregor's rendition of our favourite acheologist. His stories were quite interesting, and were able to keep me turning the pages as I delved deeper into his plots. However when I picked up Martin Caidin's Indiana Jones and the White Witch, I was terribly dissapointed with it. Not only was the storyline dull and long winded, but the character of Indy just isn't the same. He's incredibly moody here, and he doesn't even have a good chemistry with either Gale or Caitlin. To me, this novel was just 'blah'. Sure there were some action scenes, but nothing intrigued me like MacGregor could. To me, it seemed that Sky Pirates(also written by Caidin), and the "White Witch" focussed too much on technical and non-archeological adventures. To me, that does not sum up a very interesting Indiana Jones. One thing that I liked about MacGregor's books, was that they always had a referrence to Indy's earlier adventures. In two instances, Caidin does nodd to the novel "Dance of the Giants", but that is all. There are no fleeting thoughts of his friend Jack Shannon, or his deceased love Deirdre Campbell, and no mention of Marcus Brody. I like continuity, but Martin Caidin seems to throw it all out the window. All in all, I found this book to drag, and I forced myself to read it as fast as I could just so that I could move on to the next novel. I do hope that Max McCoy's novels will be somewhat more uplifting than Caidin's attempts.

Not Indiana Jones Worthy Author,
By Indiana Johan (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the White Witch (Mass Market Paperback)
The book could be alright if it wasn't an Indiana Jones Book. I have read all 12 Indy novels, and the two by Caidin were brutal. They have nothing to do with Indiana Jones' charachter or the plots from the other books. I reccomend the Indy novels by MacGregor and McCoy, but don't bother with these one's, it will ruin it for you.

An Awesome book with a very good storyline,
By Christine V. Brewer (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the White Witch (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is one of my favorites in the Indiana Jones series. It isn't Indy crawling through some jungle. He is chasing down a group of killers who terrorized an Wicca village in New Forest. I thought Gale Parker was an exciting adition to Indy in this story. A wonderful book. Go out and buy it!
