From the Publisher
In London, Indy Jones is called to an emergency meeting. Mysterious sky craft have been ravaging the shipping lanes, making off with a fortune in diamonds, bonds, and raw materials. Unable to detect how the craft are powered, experts come up with a frightening hypothesis--involving the use of psychokinetic levitation. To get to the truth, Indy must search through a labyrinth of archaeological information reaching back four thousand years. But as he and his team move from Africa to Tibet to the American Southwest, they discover something even more astounding. A clandestine organization is fast becoming an evil, world-dominating power--and the only way to stop it is in a high-tech, no-holds-barred battle on land . . . and in the air!

Another bloated Indy novel that is very hard to follow. Novel starts out great with a cool adventure to set up the bad guys, then it goes nuts with too many characters, boring airplane/flying tech jargon (that cannot be understood), absent villains, a lifeless love-interest girl, and a McGuffin that gets lost in the story and eventually not even discussed at the end of the book. So this Indy adventure will take you flying (yes), but just like the Real Indy in the movies - it’s a crash landing. Sucks! Very hard to finish too :(
This is the last of the Indiana Jones Books I have read( I have now read all the books by MacGregor, McCoy, and Caidin. I have also read the Media books "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Temple of Doom", and "Last Crusade")This is a very exciting adventure novel, I enjoyed it very much.Too many people think of Indiana Jones Strictly as a movie character, instead of an adventure character, who may have many different types of exciting escapades.I too see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, (he embodies the character so well) but unlike others I have no trouble seeing him and actually hearing him in my head as I read all these excitng adventure stories.Of course everyone is different and sees things differently. I have enjoyed all of the Great Indiana Jones stories.As for myself, I have let the unfavorable reviews sway me and put off reading Caidin until last.I'm really glad I finally decided to read them to see for myself, because I found both the "White Witch" and "Sky Pirates" to be extremely exciting . However I should have read Caidin's "Sky Pirates" right after MacGregor's "Seven Veils" for it follows that novel and then read "White Witch" in that order for it is in "White Witch" that Ms. Parker's character is fully developed. I will again re-read the novels in the future and will finally read them in true order
Worst Indy book I've read, if it had been by first it would have also been my last.
I'm struggling to make it through this book, although I liked the other novels in the Indiana Jones series. This book doesn't seem to actually be about Indiana Jones; It's almost like it's about "James Bond's archeologist cousin" or someone like that. It is very atypical of Indiana's adventures, and the character just doesn't seem to be remotely like the one in the movies.I've read fan fiction that's more believable than this. I know it's a harsh thing to say, but this book is just plain bad.
Glad amazon had this item in stock I will be going on another adventure with Indiana Jones and see who he meets and how he is able to get back home.
This book is one of the worse Indiana Jones books ever!....Indy is not a G-man or the leader of some elite strike force...He is an adventurer who is in search of archeology. In general buy the other books and stay away from this one
Villain survives to be bad guy in next book
If you ever wanted to read a flight manual for a Ford Trimotor, here's your chance. In fact, this book shouldn't be called "Indiana Jones and the Sky Pirates", it should be called "The Amazing Ford Trimotor and the People Who Fly It" because it's a sad state of affairs when Indy is only guest-starring in his own book and is playing second fiddle to an airplane.Caidin takes over from McGregor in the continuing literary adventures of Indiana Jones and manages to poop out two of the least-interesting adventures of the series (this and "The White Witch"). In fact, this particular book reads like it was already written before Caidin got the assignment from Lucasfilm to write an Indy novel and he just decided to polish this turd and throw in Indy here and there so it could become a part of the series. It's an honest observation, considering Indy doesn't act anything like Indy throughout the whole story (Caidin depicts Indy as more an ersatz espionage agent as well as some kind of amateur aviation engineer genius who is prone to anger and seems to be five steps ahead of everybody so there's really no suspense.)The whole archeological angle of the book is disregarded fairly early on (seriously, Caidin tosses out the ancient cube subplot near the beginning of the book - which begs the question: why does the rest of this story even need an archaeologist?) The first 200 pages of this 300 page story is devoted to describing airplanes and aviation and when the author isn't describing these two things, then he's having the characters stand around and discuss those two things in long-winded exposition. There's a lot of standing around and talking in this book... like, a lot-a lot... like, way too much... All the action seems to happen somewhere else and then the characters just get together and describe what just happened (sort of like when a film doesn't have the budget to show you an epic battle, so they just have the characters on-screen describe it instead. However, this is a book and not a film, so why Caidin can't describe some interesting action scenes is anybody's guess.)After brief allusions to action, it's straight back to talking about more airplanes and aviation. Supposedly, there's a villain in this story, but it's not like you'll care because the author doesn't seem to care either. Caidin describes the entire motivation for the "Sky Pirates" in one throwaway chapter in very boring detail, but then wraps it up quickly so we can get back to reading more about an f'ing airplane. If I ever see a Ford Trimotor in real life, I will punch it in its face because of this book. The villain's motivations don't really matter much in this story because the chapter that describes it seems so out-of-place that it's like the author was forced to explain it without really wanting to. So, put together a boring villain, an Indy-that's-not-Indy and a technical breakdown of an airplane with every single inch and component of which described in lovingly agonizing detail - BOOM - you've got "Indiana Jones and the Sky Pirates" (the title of which is the only interesting thing about this book.)At the end of the day, this book has an interesting concept and it's infuriating that nothing really comes of it. Perhaps if Rob McGregor or Max McCoy (McGregor authored the Indy series before Caidin while McCoy authored the books after Caidin) had a crack at writing an Indy novel with this concept, we may have seen something worthwhile. As it stands (although both Caidin entries rate at the bottom of the series), "Sky Pirates" is actually the absolute bottom of the barrel considering that it's so far removed from the source material (that is: an Indiana Jones adventure). Like many other readers, you may be wondering why exactly Indy is even in this story - there's little to no archaeology, there's barely any action and there's no semblance of the character we've come to know over the course of four films and McGregor's previous six novels. He just doesn't need to be here and, in my opinion, this makes for a bad Indy adventure.Look, here's the deal: the Indy novels are not profound, but they are a fun escape and (generally) a quick read. McGregor's novels had interesting concepts and he kept a smooth pace throughout most of his novels while keeping a nice balance between archaeology and action sequences. Caidin's novels (particularly "Sky Pirates") require almost Herculean effort to sit down and read. Suddenly, your easy-breezy summer read just became a chore and that's not what these books should feel like. To be quite honest, you could skip Caidin's entries in the series and move straight from Rob McGregor's novels to Max McCoy's novels without missing much.......unless you have some totally unnatural obsession with a Ford Trimotor like Martin Caidin does...Final Ratings:BOOKNESS:0 out of 5. This isn't a book, it's a flight manual. All it needs are some schematics and I could pretty much build and operate a Ford Trimotor in my backyard. I don't want to, but with all the information imprinted in my memory by reading this flight manual, I could do it in my sleep.ENJOYABILITY:A 1 out of 5. There are brief moments where Indiana Jones is mentioned and I get excited... then there's more blah-blah-blah about the airplane and my excitement is dead and buried.RECOMMENDABILITY:Another 1 out of 5. The only thing I recommend about this book is throwing it into the spinning propellers of a Ford Trimotor.
