(((Spoilers Ahead!!!)))
I bought 10 Indiana Jones novels; ranging from Seven Veils to Curse of the Spinx. Sadly, Peril of Delphi, and the Dance of the Giants were out of print.
I plan on reading them in order, and I finished Seven Veils last night.
The book was okay. I loved the first 5 or so chapters. Indy stuck in the Aztec temple, the fight on the skylifts, etc.
The fact that Indy got married did not really bother me, even though I think that it was somewhat out of character for him.
By mid-book, things got confusing.
We have this tribe of people who live in an invisible city, and most of them can turn invisible at will.
This part had to much fantasy for me, and brought back bad memories of cheesy fantasy books I read in my youth.
Then came the dreaming part.
Indy was dreaming he was in court at the city, yet he was still awake and escaping the city I did not care for this whole "veiling" plot.
It would have been better if Indy discovered a tribe of whites; decendants of the celts in the Amazon without all of the disappearing acts.
The ending was great.
I liked the plan crash at the end, and call me cruel; but, I liked that his wife died.
What are your thoughts on the novel?
Next, I'm to read The Genesis Deluge.
(Bah, I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong place! I am so very sorry!)
