Sinossi
Yucatan, 1957. Strisciò con cautela lungo il pavimento circolare su cui era intagliato un calendario maya: un'enorme ruota composta da anelli concentrici di glifi incisi nella roccia. Di fronte a lui, al centro, c'era una grande statua a testa di serpente, incorniciata da piume di pietra, con le fauci aperte e irte di zanne, pronte a ingoiare gli incauti. La bocca era ampia abbastanza da permettere a un uomo di strisciarvi dentro. Ma dentro, cosa c'era? Doveva saperlo. Se solo fosse riuscito a raggiungerla... Cercò di muoversi più veloce, ma il soffitto gli premeva sulla schiena, non poteva neppure sollevarsi su un gomito. La stanza era costruita in modo che il supplice si muovesse sul pavimento strisciando come un serpente, forse a immagine del dio maya Quetzalcoatl, il serpente piumato. L'attuale adoratore tuttavia non indossava piume, solo un paio di vecchi pantaloni kaki, una giacca di pelle sdrucita e un malconcio cappello di feltro marrone. 'Indiana!? L'urlo era arrivato dalle scale alle sue spalle'»

Recensioni
This book had a couple serious obstacles to overcome right from the start. Serious enough that asking "why did you read this, Bram?" is not only fair, but fully expected. First, it's a movie tie-in that's an adaptation of a made-for-film story. Presumably (and one could certainly say obviously ), thi Leggi tutto
With all the criticism and hate that this new addition to the Indiana Jones franchise got, I feel like somewhat of a loner when I say I loved both this movie and the book. In my personal opinion it's a great addition and a thrilling story. I loved reading it, and was enthralled at every turn of a pa Leggi tutto
In this novelization of the fourth (and by far the most inferior) Indiana Jones movie, James Rollins was given the task of making a credible novel out of this subpar story. By and large, I think Rollins comes up short. Perhaps it was because of the weak source material that he had to work with. Havi Leggi tutto
A little fun before we get started: Colonel Dovchenko should've paid more attention to this. Solid four stars. The worst movie in this series ended up being the best book. Please don't get me wrong; I like the movie even though that seems to be a faux pas whenever I bring it up, but it still comes
The wheels started coming off the franchise with this entry. Indiana Jones is on another adventure, this time set in the 1950's with the commies as the bad guys instead of Nazis, and aliens make their inevitable appearance. The book is actually pretty good. There are some differences from the finished Leggi tutto
Solo un maestro dell’avventura come James Rollins poteva ricavare da un film così rocambolesco un romanzo altrettanto movimentato e travolgente, pieno di misteri e colpi di scena, ricostruendo ambientazione, natura, storia, archeologia e fantascienza in un mix... esplosivo! Mi sono divertita tantissi Leggi tutto
This was pretty disappointing. I got the audio book, reasoning that it might be fun to able to listen to the movie for road trips and the like. I really enjoyed the movie, but this is one of the weakest adaptations I've read, and I've read a few. Ok, not they're usually all that great. This is compe Leggi tutto
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? More like Indiana Jones and the forgettably ancient civilized CGI aliens that makes E.T. look like a masterpiece. In 1957, nineteen years after the events of the previous film ( Last Crusade , which took place in 1938), Indiana Jones is forced to stop Leggi tutto
Yeah, I am a dork! But these Indy books are a fun, relaxing read :)
