Description
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 show more 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! show lessTags

If you've ever wondered how Indiana Jones would fare in a James Bond-type situation, then this book is for you.
Martin Caidin (author of Cyborg, the book that inspired The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman) crafts a tale of Indy working as a secret agent for multiple governments in the face of a secret cadre of powerful men and women who want to take over the world. Of course, first Indy and his team must find out what these strange, possible alien craft really are and take them out, if the remarkable flying discs don't get them first.
This was certainly a fun read, and Caidin definitely knows his aviation history, basing all the fantastical elements in the story on fact. The afterword, in which Caidin discusses each segment of show more the book that the average reader might think pure fiction, and reveals exactly how true each is, certainly remains a highlight. show less
