Product DescriptionHaving barely survived a hair-raising archaeological dig in Tikal, Guatemala, Indiana Jones has returned to New York just in time to get caught up in a controversy. The mysterious writings of Colonel Percy Fawcett, a missing British explorer, have turned up, and what they describe could revolutionize history—and make or break several scientific reputations. For Percy paints a tantalizing picture of a lost city in the Brazilian jungle, and a mythical redheaded race who may be the descendants of ancient Celtic Druids.
No one loves mystery or adventure more than Indiana Jones. So with his trusty bullwhip in hand and the lovely Deirdre Campbell firmly in tow, he sets out for the wilds of the Amazon. But Indy has more enemies than he knows, including a bunch of hard-nosed thugs and a cannibalistic Indian tribe that is out to make him instant history. And if he survives what they throw in his path, there’s still the fabled city itself . . . where the inhabitants practice the magic of the “seven veils” and no one leaves alive!

Rating: - This is NOT Indiana Jones.....
I understand that with any successful franchise, i.e. star wars, star trek, Indiana Jones, you will get 50+ books from a multitude of authors. Each one will bring their distinctive writing style, and ideas to the character, and try and produce a good book. Sometimes they are successful, and you can actually picture these characters in the story, based on their movies, and you will get a feeling like Indiana Jones actually had that adventure.

Rating: - Easy read and fun
This book is not what I would call a literary masterpiece, but I do have to give it extra points for being an easy read. It is fun, fast paced, and has the combination of occult and adventure that spells Indiana Jones. I recommended this to my wife and she is now reading the entire series as well. For those of you who say the "veils" are weird, explain the arc openning ceremony, the thuggie human sacrifice, the knight of the crusades still alive... Need I go on. Read it, you'll like it.
Rating: - Weird....
This book started out ok then got weird with all the veiling stuff. It had action but I mean come on this is Indiana Jones! I liked the book, but for gods sake take out the veil ideas!
Rating: - Seven Veils - a book full of suprises
Was Indiana Jones ever married? This book will give you the answer to that question. The storyline to this book is a little far fetched. I enjoyed the continuing love story between Indy and the heroine introduced in last book (Deidre Campbell from Dance of the Giants) more than I did the actual story. Seven Veils didn't quite hold my attention like the first two books did, but it is fun reading and by no means is it a bad book.
Rating: - It was all right . . .
. . . the plot about the dreaming city was just too weird and hard to work. There were some good parts, some of the exciting adventure you would expect to see in one of the novels (along with a good dash of romance as well) but for me the book just didn't work that well. Now, if Indy had been looking for the lost tomb of Alexander the Great ...
