Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx by Max McCoy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
McCoy knew this was his swan song and he pulled all the stops for a rip roaring tale. He nails all of the characters seen from previous films. Other characters are also very well written. McCoy has an unlabeled prologue and epilogue that adds layers to the storytelling that defines that Indiana Jones lives the life of adventure.
McCoy likely made the story too complicated as the story has a few spots of incongruity. One scene involving someone speaking to a crowd in English near the Chinese and Russia border while others are speaking other languages is poor narrative. There’s also inconsistencies involving an island scene, also.
Nevertheless, McCoy, with his writing, presents the heart and soul of the Lucas and Spielberg creation.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
