Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by George Lucas and starring Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf , the much-loved adventurer Indiana Jones returns to our screens for a new instalment of one of Hollywood's most successful film series. Written by New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, this novelisation of the movie captures the heart-stopping excitement and nail-biting tension of Indy's latest rollercoaster escapade. Set in 1957, the film centres around mysterious crystal skulls, and pits Indiana Jones against agents of the Soviet Union. Containing all the trademark action, adventure, mythology and humour that have made the movie series such a phenomenal success, the novelisation of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a must for Indy fans everywhere.

Indy, Mutt, and Marion escape to the jungle after being captured by Spalko, Dovchenko, and Mac, but are soon joined by Ox, who is desperate to return the crystal skull to Akator.

Eugène Boban began life in humble circumstances in Paris, traveled to the California Gold Rush, and later became a recognized authority on pre-Columbian cultures. He also invented an entire category of archaeological artifact: the Aztec crystal skull. By his own admission, he successfully “palmed off” a number of these crystal skulls on the curators of Europe’s leading museums. How could that happen, and who was this man? Detailed are the travels, self-education, and archaeological explorations of Eugène Boban; this book also explores the circumstances that allowed him to sell fakes to museums that would remain undetected for over a century.

The crystal skulls are a mystery as profound as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Nazca Lines of Peru, or Stonehenge.
