There's no rest for the weary treasure hunter, but that's how Indiana
Jones likes it. Fresh from spying for the Allies in the thick of World
War II Germany, the globe-trotting archaeologist doesn't need much
persuading to join his cohort "Mac" McHale in searching for one of the
most coveted of artifacts: the fabled black pearl known as the Heart of
Darkness. But the partners in adventure are not alone on their foray
into the mysterious jungles of Haiti. German and Japanese agents are in
hot pursuit, determined to possess the ebony artifact-and its
secrets-for their own sinister purposes. And shadowing them all is an
infamous voodoo priest, with powers of both diabolical science and black
magic at his command.
On a treacherous odyssey across the Island of the Dead, where the legend
of the zombi looms large, spiders, snakes, and booby traps will prove
the least of Indy's challenges. And capturing the prize will be child's
play compared to confronting an enemy unlike any other, whose numbers
are legion and nearly impossible to kill-because they're already dead. .
