Well, having gone into "Indy Mode" for the past month or so, I stumbled across this site and read up on all the novelizations. Go to the section and I recommend reading them in order of how they have them I just ordered a bunch from all of the libraries in the Chicago-land area so I may complete the series (I'm skipping White Witch and Sky Pirates due to all the bad reviews on Amazon)

I would start off buying (Or getting from the library) the Max McCoy books first.
They deal with Indy right before raiders of the lost ark.
They are in order....
Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone
Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs
Indiana Jones and the Hollow Earth
Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx
Then get the Rob Macgregor books.
They deal with Indy in the 1920's.
They are in order...
Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi
Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants
Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils
Indiana Jones and the Genesis Deluge
Indiana Jones and the Unicorn's Legacy
Indiana Jones and the Interior World
then read the two novels by Martin Caidin (they are my least favorite)
They are in order...
Indiana Jones and the Sky Pirates
Indiana Jones and the White Witch
Then you have the new novel by Steve Perry called
Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead
which deals with events right before KOTCS!
Hope that helps and get reading ! lol

I thought these were seperate adventures like the movies
Nurhachi1991 said:One thing I just dont get though Indy seems to just blindly accept magic and hocus pocus in the novels but in the movies he doesnt believe anything he always tries to argue it....
fenris said:Maybe it's like some people who have seen ghosts (or something else), but still don't believe in them (kinda like me)... They try to rationalize their experience by thinking up of scientific ways to explain what they experienced (I was probably dreaming, was drunk or hallucinating... that's how I try to explain it).
Montana Smith said:Or more, that Indy does believe in magic, but not everything that appears to be magic. Like a true scientist, he doesn't believe until he's put it to the test, seen it for himself, or discounted all other possibilities. That is, an empiricist approach, as opposed to the rationalist approach, which would assign belief through reasonable possibility.
