Indiana Jones en het zwaard van Djenghis Kahn

Indiana Jones #5

by Wolfgang Hohlbein

Washington, russische Botschaft. Die schöne Sowjetkommissarin Tamara Jaglova lädt Indiana Jones ein, an einer Expedition in die äußere Mongolei teilzunehmen. Es geht um eine alte Legende. Und darum, was passieren könnte, wenn die Legende Wahrheit wird. Wenn das Schwert des Khan gefunden wird, so die Sage, wird das Mongolenreich zu alter Größe wiederauferstehen. Die wilden Horden sind bereit. Ein hochriskantes Unternehmen für Indy, auf den Gegner aller Nationen warten: Russen, Chinesen, Deutsche und Japaner. Eins jedoch ist klar - einem Abenteuer weicht man nicht aus. Und so beginnt eine wilde Hetzjagd quer über die Kontinente.

About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.

Still very entertaining.
Not enough Tamara Jaglova though :)

[Joe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another Indiana Jones book! This one less fun but still some good stuff.

It had:
- Ninjas!
- Samarai!
- Yeti!
- A magical sword!
- A hot Russian lady (who disappears for most of the story)!

Not as strong as the others in the series but still worth a read.
