Everyone's favorite globe-trotting, wisecracking archaeologist is
hurtling headfirst into high adventure and relying on his wits, his
fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble.
A novelization of the major motion picture
It's 1957, and the Cold War is heating up. A ruthless squad of Russian
soldiers crashes Indiana Jones's latest expedition and forces the
unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre
U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Commanded
by a sword-wielding colonel who's as sinister as she is stunning, the
menacing Reds have one objective: a relic even more precious--and
powerful--than the mythic Ark of the Covenant, capable of unlocking
secrets beyond human comprehension.
Quick thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Indy narrowly escape
certain death. But the Russians are unrelenting, and their next move
leads Indy into the depths of the Amazon on a desperate rescue mission.
With a hotheaded teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful
new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy's back in the
game--playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never
rival.
