Hello
Have come across a few books that seem a bit Indy-ish, if you are looking for last-minute gifts. Perhaps hard to find, so probably have to be ordered. Sorry for the lateness of these, have been lurking for only about 5 years, so a bit loathe to intrude.
Have not yet read any of these, but some of the reviews seem good. I do have one of them, which alas 'resides' on my stack (pile) of books to read as soon as there is a good pouring-down-rain weekend, or hopefully a small mid-week blizzard.
Perhaps someone with the ear of George Lucas may be able to find the next "MacGuffin" within their pages for the hopefully upcoming Indy 5 movie. Or at least some good scenes for any new Indy films or books.
---------------
"Foreign Devils on the Silk Road: The Search for the Lost Cities and Treasures of Chinese Central Asia" (Paperback), by Peter Hopkirk (Author)
---------------
"Like Hidden Fire: The Plot to Bring Down the British Empire" (Paperback), by Peter Hopkirk (Author)
---------------
"In Quest of Lost Worlds" (Paperback), by Byron Khun de Proro (Author)
He wrote several books. This is said to be one of his more over-the-top fanciful ones, all of which firmly straddle the 'tall tale' line, but it does seem that some of it is actually true.
---------------
All can be found on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. Not a plug for amazon, but at least easy to find them there and you can get a sense of if you might have interest in them.
If others know of other books of Indy-ish true adventures, of his time period or ours, would like to hear of them. {Actually, consider his time period to be 1899 to present.
}
May it be well with you
