Product Description

It is the most coveted of all ancient artifacts. In it is written the history—and the fate—of every human being. And he who owns it writes his own destiny. Now Indiana Jones follows a trail of danger, magic, and archaeological mystery through the war-torn Orient, from Rangoon to the Egyptian desert, searching for the secret underground hiding place of the all-powerful Omega Book. But with a beautiful woman seeking her missing magician husband, and a vengeance-crazed Japanese spymaster hot on his heels, Indy is running out of time. If the Omega Book falls into the wrong hands, not only his own fate but the fate of the world will be at the mercy of a madman bent on writing humanity’s final chapter!

From Publishers Weekly
The latest Indiana Jones adventure once again requires readers to suspend disbelief and enter a world of twisted danger, black magic and archaeological intrigue. This time, the Princeton professor travels through the Orient, India and Egypt, circa 1934, in search of the Omega Book. Long buried under the Sphinx of Giza, it's an invaluable instrument of the occult that allows its owner to rewrite destiny. As usual, a band of villains closely trails Indy and his chums. Full of vivid subplots and ancient lore, the book reads like a rollicking history lesson. In a lengthy afterword, McCoy (Indiana Jones and the Hollow Earth) offers detailed descriptions of three archeological findings heavily featured in the story.

Customer Reviews

Sorry to hear this would be the last...
When I got this book, I was very excited. I'd been waiting for it for what seemed like forever. I own every book in the series, and was on pins and needles waiting to read it. I was devastated, well, maybe not devastated. I was upset to find out that the publisher had decided not to continue the series.

In this book, McCoy takes us to Egypt where Indy searches for the Book of Life, the mythical book spoken of in the bible that lists every person who ever has, and ever will live. It tells how, where and when they die, etc. Imagine how this could be used for evil! Indy does it again, and does so in smashing Indy style!

Please...may I have some more?
Read through the entire series and have been disappointed that this was the final volume in the series. Perhaps with the much anticipated Indy IV movie in the works, we can get some more novels.

These books are a lot of fun and breezy Summer reads. Recommended!

Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx
Indiana Jones, an archeology professor at the London University, has a fascination for ancient artifacts and finding them. In this heart-thumping page-turner Indy finds himself plunging into another dangerous adventure.
Jones, a magician, and her assistant join Jones after certain circumstances. The team begins to look for the all-powerful Omega book. The book can control his fate and the fate of the entire world!
Unfortunately, on their tail is a vengeance-crazed Japanese spymaster. Though, they aren't the only things in their path to the Omega book. Lepers, hurricanes, the Yezidi people, and the crazy Japanese will or will not stop the fearsome trio. Will the Japanese get him first or will Indy and his companions stop the Omega book from fall into the wrong hands? The only way to find out is to read Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx.
My favorite part is when the author, Max McCoy, describes the single tear rolling down the magicians face. It's just the power and description of that moment and what's happening around her before and after the moment occurs.
I love this book and I think you will too! You can't put it down after you pick it up. It's full of nonstop action, adventure, and amazing detail. Once you read this book you'll want to read it again and again!
