I agree.Dust McAlan said:Is it just me, or does McCoy just not "get" Indy's personality? The adventures are very Indiana Jones, but Indy himself seems like a 30's stereotype that the character was based on. There's no real charm, and his speech seems very forced.
That was my biggest (but not only) beef with Sky Pirates. Indiana Jones was simply not Indiana Jones. The things he did, the things he said, almost nothing felt like the Indiana Jones character we know. How he handled his friends/teammates, how he handled himself in conferences, nothing felt right.Quickening said:I can confirm the reports about "Sky Pirates". Its not badly written or anything, it's just that the main character could be anyone. I can't think of a single Indiana Jones element in there. The title of the book put me off straight away but going by the old saying I read it anyway and was still disappointed.
In my estimation, it's one of the better Indy novels.Quickening said:Can anyone tell me if "Dinosaur Eggs" is worth reading? The title sounds silly and I can't even imagine what the story is.

Quickening said:Also, does "Hollow Earth" clash with "Interior World" at all?
I'm only up to McCoy's "Philosopher's Stone", but from what I'm recalling, Caidin's "Sky Pirates" mentions MacGregor stuff, including a brief (wasted) appearance by Jack Shannon, with a lot of little references to previous MacGregor adventures, Deirdre, Stonehenge, etc. I think "White Witch" mentioned some of that too. So far McCoy hasn't referenced anything, at least not that I can recall jumping out at me.LawgSkrak said:I was wondering, do any of the books after MacGregor's books ever make any mention of characters or situations from Macgregor's novels?
