Book Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Sky Pirates
Book Review: Indiana Jones meets a Tom Clancy military op novel
Summary: 5 Stars
A change from the famous 1930s archaeologist/adventurer's modus operandi. Instead of hunting down ancient artifacts, Dr. Jones teams up with a colorful (but deadly) array of aquaintances to investigate UFO sightings and attacks.
It starts off with an "extra terrestrial" artifact, and soon twists and turns with politcal intrigue and military operations that would make Tom Clancy proud.
Our intrepid "Indy" Jones is in the heart of the entire affair, bringing the story's many mini-climax sequences to a suprising and exciting finale.
I really enjoyed this book (my personal favorite of the entire IJ series - so far).
I liked the way Mr. Caidin took me in one direction, then would suddenly turn me in another.
I also really liked the fact that Indiana was given a totally different type of role. Instead of chasing down artifacts and tearing through his opposition in the fashion we all know and love, Indy uses his strategic talents and world-encompassing knowledge and contacts to bring the problems to safe conclusions. The only time he uses his hard-core fighting abilities and accessories (.455 Webley & 10 ft. bullwhip), is when he is forced to defend himself and the members of his crack team from moments of death.
The end of the book features true historic and mechanical facts that were used as the foundation for different events & people in the story. That in itself had some pretty interesting information.
All-in-all, a great book - even for those not usually into Indiana Jones adventures. I definately recommend this one.:)

In London, Indiana Jones is called to an emergency meeting. Mysterious sky craft have been ravaging the shipping lanes, making off with a fortune in diamonds, bonds, and raw materials. Unable to detect how the craft are powered, experts have come up with a frightening hypothesis?involving the use of psychokinetic levitation.To get to the truth, Indy must search through a labyrinth of archaeological information reaching back four thousand years. But as he and his team move from Africa to Tibet to the American Southwest, they discover something even more astounding. A clandestine organization is fast becoming an evil, world-dominating power?and the only way to stop it is in a high-tech, no-holds-barred battle on land . . . and in the air!
