Hi all
Just did an updated search on Amazon to see what new info might be listed for upcoming Indy literature. Some pretty cool stuff. I'll save the best until last.

Indiana Jones IV Movie Tie-in
By James Rollins
Audio CD
Publisher: RH Audio; Unabridged edition (May 20, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0739358987
The version listed is an audio book, but the actual book is already listed on the Amazon UK site. Here are the details:
Indiana Jones IV Movie Tie-In (Hardcover)
by James Rollins (Author)
Hardcover: 400 pages
Publisher: Del Rey Books (20 May 2008)
Language English
ISBN-10: 0345501284
It was a no-brainer that they were going to do a movie tie-in. So why is this such a big deal? Two reasons: James Rollins is the real deal - a bestselling author who writes excellent books that are very much in the Indiana Jones vein. Rollins is a great choice - it's almost like hiring Clive Cussler. I'm amazed Lucasfilm is shelling out the bucks to get him on board. The second reason is that this tie-in is a HARDCOVER! No mass market paperback for this film. Great news.
Looks like they're pulling out all the stops to ensure that the merchandising for Indy 4 is bigger and better than it has been for the previous films. Good times ahead....
I contacted James Rollins through his web site to confirm everything posted on Amazon. Here is his response (which, quite honestly, I wasn't expecting to get):

Yep, I'm doing the Indiana Jones tie-in novelization. It's been fun to write. I've loved the movies (as you might suspect from my novels). So to be able to write internal monologue and go intimately on this journey with Indy is a blast.
I'd love to see a 'Visual guide' ala 'Star Wars' at some point too, but 'The complete making of Indiana Jones' should be neat. I can't enough of that kind of stuff.
Mr. Rollins sounds like a real pro! He probably has the inside track to the script and script changes. I hope he incorporates not just the soon-to-be deleted scenes Lucas will never show us, but all the other tangents considered for the story.
I'm surprised they keep making book tie-ins of movies. Same with comic adaptations. I mean back in then 70's 7 80's we had to wait years to see the movies again. Nowdays though we get a fully loaded DVD withing just a few months of the actual film's release.

Wow, sounds good! Looks like a new age of Indy!
My Christmas next year is going to be ALL Indy stuff...

I'm assuming this will cover the entire series? I know Rinzler's STAR WARS books are being done installments (still need to pick up the NEW HOPE one that's now out) and figured the same would be done for the Indy movies.

My 20th next year is going to be pretty awesome... Indy stuff and the Olympics in Beijing all on the same day! I better have dinner at the Lost City to make my night complete.
Sorry, I'm about a month late in replying in this thread. But after I read that James Rollins is doing the novelizations I had to post.
He, by far, is my favorite author. I picked up Excavation at a used book store a few years ago, and I've been hooked ever since.
His line about being able to tell he's an Indy fan put a smile on my face. For most of his books, you could easily see Indy in the locations...especially in Excavation and Sandstorm, which are more archeologically-related.
...although I agree that Matthew Reilly would have been great also...Temple and 7 Deadly Wonders are great reads. I based my fan film off of Temple... www.skabatula.150m.com.
