If you think the Indiana Jones films are wild, just wait until you read the spinoff novels.
We all remember our favorite novel from the 1990s -- the one where the protagonist recruits friends and navigates obstacles guarding the famed Philosopher's Stone. Wait, were you thinking about Harry Potter? No, this is actually Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone. Following the same treatment bestowed to franchises like Star Wars, the Indiana Jones intellectual property was used to create spin-off materials through the 1990s, including a strangely prolific number of novels.
Finally, after the completion of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade novel, Indy creator George Lucas asked author Rob MacGregor to continue writing original stories more consistent in their characterization with Indiana Jones as seen in the films, all based on existing world myths. The first of these stories, originally published by Bantam, was released in 1991. Different writers were later brought onboard, and the last installment was published in 2009.
The Indiana Jones Books are Wild, Wacky ... and Sometimes Don't Make Much Sense Something to keep in mind while discussing the scores of Indy books: most of them are meant to take place before the events Raiders of the Lost Ark.
With Andrew Helfner's Indiana Jones and the Cup of the Vampire, we've officially arrived in the fan-fiction zone, because this story is a "choose your own adventure" tale featuring you as Indy's own personal sidekick. One of many "Find Your Fate" Indiana Jones novels, this story follows your journey with Indy as you pursue the mystical Cup of Djemsheed.
