Thanks guys. I suspected it was Genesis Deluge. I dunno I think it's way too harsh for Indy to say. I remember reading the book and re-reading that bit over and over because I suddenly felt hollow.
It was the same as when Scott Bakula used the term in Necessary Roughness. "But he was Sam Beckett for 3 years!" I sobbed. Well I was shocked at least.
And ResidentAlien? I think what you're trying to say is "that goose stepping morons like myself should try reading books instead of burning them."

'Course I didn't say "moron." But I firmly believe in artistic integrity. If they aren't ready for something, they simply aren't ready. But don't butcher a piece for your own end. Either hold off on it or do a little of the old-fashioned parenting stuff and explain the context.

Indy says "f**k" in Genesis Deluge? Where? On what page? I don't remember Indy ever dropping the f-bomb anywhere.
If I remember correctly (as for some reason my copy always fell open at that page it's either 2/3 or 1/4 of the way through. And he drops that mother****** twice!
I wouldn't exactly consider Indiana Jones to be ideal kiddie reading material...
Why not? Most of us saw the films at a young age. Young Indy was created for kids. Find Your Fate books were all aimed at children. Junior Novelisations are on the way. Action figures. Lego. The initial run of Marvel comics were all aimed at kids. Computer Games. In fact my daughter who is 11 wants to be an archeologist when she grows up. Just as I did when I was only 7.
And because a lot of stuff I type online gets SO taken the wrong way - I'm not being defensive sir. Just curious.
Seriously i'm hiding from a sci-fi forum because I defended the new Knight Rider and they all wanted to lynch me!

Actually in truth, the reason why some have seen the sentence in the book and others who have read it have not, is because (and I have mentioned this before) the first edition of "Genesis Deluge" had the f word in it. If you have a later print or a re-print, you will not have the f word sentence. It is replaced by Indy getting gagged before he says the word. So if you have bought your copy recently of "Genesis Deluge", you will not have a problem.
However, if you are concerned about language, I'm somewhat surprised you are not concerned of any sexual references, as many of these particular novels, do have that way more than swearing and would suggest someone of the age of 13-14 to read it. Genesis Deluge, all prints has a rather sexual chapter early in the book.

Interesting. Can you tell me what page it's on? I haven't read it yet and I'd like to know what version I have.
