Henry “Indiana” Jones is an archaeologist as well as a Professor of Archaeology at the fictional Marshall College in Bedford, Connecticut. Indiana is the main protagonist of the story.

Indiana is constantly on the run from those who wish to sabotage his archaeological plans and discoveries or from those who wish to end his life. During his various ventures across the globe, Indy reconciles with old friends, makes new friends, and finds new enemies. Henry Jones Sr. Was the father of Indiana Jones as well as a Professor of Medieval Literature. He was hired by Walter Donovan to recover the Holy Grail, a Biblical artifact said to give eternal life and limitless healing. He joined his son Indiana for the quest for the Holy Grail. Elsa Schneider was an archaeologist loyal to the Nazi party.

One of the antagonists of the story, she was assigned the task of retrieving the Holy Grail for Adolf Hitler and worked with Indiana Jones and his father to recover it. Her secret loyalty to the enemy put her life in danger. Walter Donovan was a wealthy American industrialist and collector of antiquities who allied himself with the Nazis in order to obtain the Holy Grail, which he sought for its fabled gift of eternal life. He was the main antagonist of the story. The story is set in 1938, a year before the start of World War II as well as the time of the rise of the Nazi party. Adolf Hitler orders his armies to retrieve the Holy Grail, the cup of Christ which had rumored capabilities of eternal life and limitless healing.

Indiana Jones is brought into a new adventure after millionaire industrialist Walter Donovan’s lead researcher disappears mysteriously. The lead researcher is none other than Indiana’s dad, Henry Jones. Meeting up with archaeologist Elsa Schneider in Italy, Indiana discovers the location of the Holy Grail. He soon finds that his father was kidnapped.

When Indiana and Elsa find Henry Jones, Indiana discovers that Elsa and Walter were double agents. If Indiana will obtain the Grail and gain eternal life for himself and his father, it will give the world a future of light. If Adolf Hitler and the Nazis triumph in the search, they will inevitably prevail in the ensuing world conflict. The main conflict of the story was about Indiana, his father, and other friends made on the adventure beating the Nazis to the Holy Grail. Despite the fact that all parties arrived at the Grail site at the same time, the task of finding the actual cup in a display of many fake Grails was presented. The fake Grails had opposite effects on its claimer than the real counterpart, instead ending the retrievers life painfully. The large possibility of accidentally claiming one of the fake cups put the Nazis’ lives in grave danger.

I enjoyed this book because I had knowledge about the Indiana Jones stories. Since this book was written after the Indiana Jones film of the same name, it was easy for me to follow along the story as I had previously watched the movie when I was much younger. Adapting an adventure movie to a book had one key advantage, which was the fact that the author could further explain plot points or give the characters in the story more development.

Reading the book reminded me of my first time watching The Last Crusade. Indiana Jones returns for his most thrilling but dangerous adventure yet! This time Indy teams up with his father, Henry Jones Sr. Who refers to Indy as Henry Jones Jr. Which Indy hates, HAHA! Together they embark on a quest for the Holy Grail, the cup of Jesus Christ. Indy gets word that his Father is kidnapped by the Nazis after receiving his Father's Grail Diary in the mail, his Father sent it to him to prevent the Nazis from getting ahold of it first.

The Diary holds many clues and a map that holds the location of the Grail. The Last Crusade has to be my most favorite in the whole franchise, the other being Raiders, of course. But The Last Crusade is the second best! When I was 10 or so my mom randomly decided that she didn’t want me watching PG-13 movies until I turned 13. This was really disappointing as I was (and still am) crazy about Star Wars and Indiana Jones. As of the late 90s, The Last Crusade was the only movie out of these two franchises that was PG-13.

I think we can all agree that the first two Indy movies are more violent despite their PG ratings but I was not about to tell my mom that.

Now I’m a grown up and I can watch it whenever I want to. With bullwhip in hand, Indiana Jones has gone in search of adventure, confronted danger and unearthed a wealth of ancient treasures. The only thing he hadn’t gotten are good writers to put his chronicles to paper and do justice to his undertakings.

The only thing he hadn’t gotten are good writers to put his chronicles to paper and do justice to his undertakings.

Whatever the case, the third part of the film quadrilogy, titled “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”, was penned by Rob MacGregor, who later went on to write several other Indy novels. In “The Last Crusade” Indy faces his most challenging and personal endeavor of his life: rescue his estranged father, the eminent professor Sean Connery I mean, Henry Jones, Sr., from a Nazi’s lair, and recover the legendary Holy Grail. To those who read something by MacGregor already, this is vintage MacGregor alright: good pacing, generic writing style lacking eloquence and an average novel as a result.

To those who are first time readers, Rob MacGregor generally writes novels that are good enough, but they lack something that would make them a lasting memory after finishing them. The best comparison would be with action B-film: they’re a dime a dozen, all alike, most of them fairly watchable, but nothing you’ll ever think of re-watching. Believe me, I know; I’m a fan of those films.

The book ranges from good to sub-par. Some chapters are exciting; I’m not referring to the plot – because, in theory, the whole thing should be an action packed thrill ride like the film was. I mean the way the book’s written. MacGregor handles it real nice, and then slumps to barely passable.

The barely passable bits are mostly the action parts: the Venice boat chase, the battle with and on the tank, etc. MacGregor is really just a small step above James Kahn who novelized Indy’s previous adventure in the Temple of Doom; if you read Kahn, you’ll know this can hardly be considered a compliment. Lester Dent, a veteran pulp writer and the creator of the legendary Doc Savage said: “DON’T TELL ABOUT IT! Show how the thing looked.

This is one of the secrets of writing; never tell the reader – show him.” If one were to judge “The Last Crusade” by that, it would be a very unpleasant sight, for MacGregor shows you almost nothing. As usual, we get no description of Indy besides the information he wears a fedora, leather jacket and sports a bullwhip and a revolver.

Under the clothes is a blank face; I’m aware everyone knows Harrison Ford, but a good writer should tell you how his characters appear, especially the hero. The situation is even worse with Indy’s father, Henry. All you know about the man is older (which is obvious by itself), and that he has a beard and also wears a hat. Sure, Sean has a beard, alright, but so do a million other men.

From the description MacGregor gives, all of them could be Indy’s father. The only characters that are at least remotely described are Dr. Elsa Schneider: She was an attractive blonde with high cheekbones and a slender figure. Her lapis-colored eyes were bright and intelligent. And Sallah: Sallah was a bear of a man with black hair and distinctive Mediterranean features.

His rich baritone voice and hearty went a long way toward making Brody feel better, as did his reputation and loyalty. He was known for his fierce dedication to his friends and as a formidable enemy to anyone who opposed them. Well, it’s not much, but it’s the best you’ll get out of MacGregor. There is no such luck with locations, however.

It is as if MacGregor had tried to picture his locations as vaguely as possible. The “accolade” is the episode in Brunwald Castle, Austria. There is not one, not a single word that describes the castle. The paragraph reads that Indy and Elsa are driving through the Austrian Alps toward Brunwald Castle. You fill in the blanks, which is basically all of it. In all reality, Rob MacGregor is not exactly a bad writer; he’s just extremely average. And consequently, “The Last Crusade” is not that bad, either.

But it’s hardly an engaging read as the cover claims it to be. It’s a shame Lucas Books didn’t try harder to find talented people to novelize and later continue with Indy’s adventures. There are loads of great freelance writers who would’ve surely done a better job. Well, we cannot change what is, and what is, is OK and most people will have a good time indeed, blissfully unaware of all the flaws; but those of us who have had the luck to relish in the amazing yarns of writers like Robert E. Howard, will take notice of all the shortcomings and see “The Last Crusade” for what it is – a good, but utterly generic novel soon to be forgotten beneath the dust, just like the ancient artifacts Indy searches for. Rating: 6/10.

I somewhat recently rediscovered my old paperback novelizations of the original Indiana Jones trilogy, and reread and reviewed. Now I move on to 's. This is probably the most well-written of all the novelizations thus far, and it's no wonder MacGregor went on to write a series of original Indy stories in the early nineties.

Now I move on to 's. This is probably the most well-written of all the novelizations thus far, and it's no wonder MacGregor went on to write a series of original Indy stories in the early nineties.

It's a closer adaptation of the screenplay than Raiders was, but doesn't suffer from the shifting-POV problems of Temple. MacGregor's prose is clean, his narration consistent, and he keeps the story moving along briskly. It doesn't hurt, of course, that The Last Crusade is (for my money) the best of the Indiana Jones adventures - all MacGregor really needed to do was hew close to the script (he does), and how badly could he have possibly screwed the story up?

It is simply a perfect narrative from beginning to end: The quest for the Grail is utterly thrilling, like an story writ large, and the father/son plotline fully satisfying. And considering what tough acts Raiders and Temple were to follow, Crusade is even more impressive. The comedic interplay between and, so essential to the joy of the movie, obviously doesn't translate onto the page, nor does the arresting elegance of 's direction, particularly in the action sequences, many of which fall flat here (the desert tank chase, for instance, such a captivating set piece in the film, reads pretty dull in the novel). This novelization, like the previous two, is a perfectly fine way to pass a few hours on the porch over summer vacation, but it's no substitute for the film. Indiana Jones was borne from the old Republic serials, and he has always been most at home - most effective - in the movies. You'd probably be better off re-watching the feature (written by and an uncredited, from a story by and ), no matter how many times you've already seen it, than reading the book, and experiencing one of the high-water marks of American action-adventure cinema. Indy truly is one of the great characters of the twentieth century, and Last Crusade is everything that's wonderful about the cinematic art form.

If only action movies today were crafted with such intelligent plotting, thoughtful characterization, and deft direction. Like the many artifacts Indy has recovered over the course of his storied career, the movie trilogy only becomes more valuable with age. If you can't get enough, you could do worse than read this novelization, a decent supplement to - but not substitute for - an American movie classic. I admit it: I actually like film novelizations. They're usually quick, fun reads that add a lot of insight into movies I like. I get more perspective on characters' thoughts and internal dialogues, I get to see some scenes that were cut before the movie made it to the theaters, and sometimes I get explanations for confusing scenes that never made sense to me before.

I loved the deeper exploration into the relationship between father and son, although if I had written it, I think I would have gone even deeper (but then, I did study family science in college). Although it was a great read, it lost a star for not quite capturing the dream team interactions between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery (but then, how could you capture that with mere words?). I've heard that originally, Indy's father was supposed to be more bookish, and that comes through a bit here. Just little things-for example (minor spoilers for the movie, naturally!), when Indy and Henry have to flee the zeppelin: in the book, Henry is scared of going on the biplane, and he says, 'I didn't know you could fly an airplane,' with a lot of trepidation. In the movie, Henry has a giant grin as he climbs into the airplane, and he slaps Indy on the back as he says with pride, 'I didn't know you could fly an airplane!' The biggest difference that bothered me was at the end.

Remember that part where Indy almost falls to his death, and his father grabs his arm to save him? In the book, Sallah is the one who catches Indy, although it's still Henry that talks him into letting the Grail go. I mean, I get why that might have been the case in earlier drafts. Sallah is younger and stronger and it makes more sense for him to grab Indy, rather than him holding back so Henry can get the spotlight. Henry and Indy's relationship is so crucial to the story, and I love that scene in the movie so much. I was disappointed to see it portrayed differently. Overall, though, it was fun, and if you enjoyed the movie, you'll probably enjoy the book as well.:).

It was jam-packed with adventure and action. If it were made into a movie,(which most of the Indiana Jones' books have) it would be an action/adventure. The setting would be in the Sahara desert and a Mansion in Germany(i.e.

For the Nazi headquarters). I wouldn't try to change the era because the book is based around Nazi's in the 1930's. I couldn't change much because its a classic. I would market to teen's and young adults because that is where I really liked Indian Jones and the Last Crusade.
