Product Description
There’s no rest for the weary treasure hunter, but that’s how Indiana Jones likes it. Fresh from spying for the Allies in the thick of World War II Germany, the globe-trotting archaeologist doesn’t need much persuading to join his cohort “Mac” McHale in searching for one of the most coveted of artifacts: the fabled black pearl known as the Heart of Darkness. But the partners in adventure are not alone on their foray into the mysterious jungles of Haiti. German and Japanese agents are in hot pursuit, determined to possess the ebony artifact–and its secrets–for their own sinister purposes. And shadowing them all is an infamous voodoo priest, with powers of both diabolical science and black magic at his command.
On a treacherous odyssey across the Island of the Dead, where the legend of the zombi looms large, spiders, snakes, and booby traps will prove the least of Indy’s challenges. And capturing the prize will be child’s play compared to confronting an enemy unlike any other, whose numbers are legion and nearly impossible to kill–because they’re already dead. . . . |

Army of the Dead Rocks, Thursday, July 08, 2010
Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead is a fantastic book. It is a very good adventure novel that perfectly captures our favorite daredevil archaeologist. In this book, Indy and his friend Mac fight German and Japanese agents as they trek though the treacherous jungle searching for the fabled heart of darkness, and to add to the immense peril, they're all being chased by a voodoo priest and an army of the living dead! Anyone who enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies is sure to love this fast-paced, action-packed novel. This book has definitely found a place of honor on my bookshelf. Cheers to Steve Perry!

Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead, Sunday, May 09, 2010
Indiana Jones and zombies; what a combination! That's what I thought, but it is not really exciting in Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead by Steve Perry. Indiana Jones is off to Haiti to search for the Heart of Darkness (a black pearl with special powers). But he isn't the only one - so are the Germans and the Japanese! With all this happening there should be a lot of excitement and action. There are some moments that make this book enjoyable, but Indian Jones is better on screen then on paper.

Adventures in Haiti, Tuesday, February 02, 2010
In this novel Indiana Jones and Mac seek a cursed pearl in Haiti during WWII, dealing with both the Japanese and Germans, who are also after the pearl. It's a good story and a real page-turner, certainly in the same league as some of the other Indiana Jones novels which came out in the 1990s. There were some quirky things with the attempts at German, but you can't have everything.
