Synopsis

The fearless archaeologist returns in a spectacular adventure!

A novelization of the major motion picture.

The time is the 1930s.

Indiana Jones has never had a problem finding trouble, but now he has landed in the deadliest situation imaginable. He must rescue his father, eminent professor Dr. Henry Jones, from the Nazis' clutches to keep them from discovering secrets only Dr. Jones possesses--secrets that could reveal the location of the Holy Grail.

The perilous race is on to save his father and recover the most extraordinary relic of all time--and to prevent the Nazis and Dr. Jones's devious rivals from finding it first.

About this title

About the Author

When Rob MacGregor enrolled at the University of Minnesota in the late 1960s, he planned to study archaeology, but he ended up majoring in journalism, and over the next dozen years worked as a reporter and editor. He never gave up his interest in ancient civilizations, and between jobs and on vacations he explored archaeological sites in Mexico, Central and South America, Europe, and North Africa. Those experiences would later come in handy when he wrote the novelization of the blockbuster movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and then went on to write six original Indiana Jones novels for LucasFilm and Bantam Books. His novel Prophecy Rock won the Edgar Allan Poe Award in the young adult category. His nonfiction work includes several books on dreams and dream interpretation, divination and astrology, the sixth sense, and yoga. In addition to writing, Rob teaches yoga, based on his own system called Astro-Yoga. He and his wife live in Florida.
