: : : A little while ago our friend Lovelia noticed the change in Angela's name, from the first page of "IJ and the Dinosaur Eggs", on which she was named Joan.
: : : How about the back over of "Indiana Jones and the Sky Pirates"?
: : : PSYCHOKINETIC LEVITATION?
: : : Indy travels to Africa and Tibet ???
: : : What book were these people reading? None of that had anything to do with the plot.
: : : Wondering....
: : : Aragorn
: : Hey. I've noticed that too. Indy going to Africa and Tibet probably
: : would've been a whole lot cooler than Sky Pirates. Ever notice the
: : back cover of "White Witch" (another Martin Caiden disaster)? They
: : have these cool looking knights or something on the back, but there
: : are no knights in the story, as far as I can remember. Just those
: : Civil War re-enactors in one of the lamest plot twists in the history
: : of Western literature. Just my two (Caiden-bashin') cents.

: Actually, I never finished "White Witch". In frustration, I slammed the book shut in the summer of 1997 and haven't opened it since. I was just a little over halfway through reading it. It's the only Indy novel I haven't finished... and the only Indy novel that I've had no desire to.
: Aragorn
Hey. I wish I could have stopped reading it. Unfortunately, it was
like a car accident; I felt compelled to see how it ended. It was
terrible; was Caiden a heavy drinker or something? My two cents.
