 I've got most of those except for the Max McCoy ones. They must have came out after the other ones and I missed them. What's the difference between Hollow Earth and the Interior World stories? From the titles they sound like the same premise.

I really like Max McCoy's rendition of Indy, and he reads just like a movie, IMO. I have really enjoyed these, which lead me to buy the whole set of books. I would highly recommend them to anybody that ever thought the books would be too different to enjoy. There's actually a great interview with Max over at Theindyexperience.com - www.theindyexperience.com/interviews/max_mccoy_interview.phpI haven't read "Interior World" yet, but they are by different authors, and Max McCoy knew of all the stories Rob McGregor had written previously.. so he must have gone a different way. I'm working on "Hollow Earth" now, which will finish up the McCoy series. Then, I'm going back to start reading them in order... according to the timeline. I wanted to find how how some of the themes that carry over from book to book in Max MacCoy's series came out. I started with the last book by accident, "Secret Of The Sphinx... since it was one of the first I ordered online. These books are shelved in the order of the Indy timeline as well, leading right into TOD.  Ken |

Ah, I see.... I'll have to search for those books myself. I wonder if the major books stores still carry any of them? I read all of the other ones when I first got them and I enjoyed them all.  |

I have all the MacGregor books, and enjoyed them for the most part.
Seven Veils was kind of lame, and seemed more like Indy was dreaming the events.
I want to get the McCoy's, because I have always heard such greta things regarding them. The Caiden books I hear leave much to be desired, and are more about flying than adventure.

I can't remember the Caiden stories that well.......It's been so long since I read them. I know I enjoyed each book for what it was.
I do agree the Veils one and even Interior World seemed "Dream like" from what I can remember about both of them.

Ken, great to see you've got all the novels now! My favourites have to be the Max McCoy ones. McCoy has done a great job of capturing the character and the spirit of Indy. |

Very handsome collections, folks! One question: I like Max McCoy's 'Indy' as well but did anyone else find 'Dinosaur Eggs' kinda silly?  |

Max McCoy's novels are far and away the best non-movie novels. I've read them all and I think I had to role my eyes at somepoint in each of the novels. I think it's just the pulp nature of the thing. Sometimes they take things a bit too far just because there are no limitations in a novel. McCoy really scored on details that tie in to the films. James Kahn's ToD novelization if probably the best. It reads like Mickey Spillane.

While were on the subject....
Has anyone heard of any new novels or comic books in the works for Indy?

Havana, I totally agree with you on the James Khan ToD novel. I've read it seven times, it's fantastic! (most recently being two weeks ago) Definitely the best novelisation i've read. It gave so much dimension to a film that was virtually crapcanned by the masses. (side note: I'm told his adaptation of Return of the Jedi is brilliant as well, and quite beautiful in parts. I've owned it for fifteen years and STILL haven't gotten around to reading it!!  ) |

So far, I've read all 4 Max McCoy novels and really enjoyed them. I then started at the beginning of the series, and have read "Peril At Delphi" and am reading "Dance Of The Giants" right now. I accidently started with them out of order, because I didn't have all of them at first. I also did't know at the time, that they went in chronological order either. So, I will be reading my way back up to the McCoy books, then doing the movie adaptations. I have the James Kahn version of TOD as well, and am now looking forward to it, based on the rave reviews.
