Veils\">Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils<\/a>&#8220;, a novel by Rob MacGregor.\u00a0 Given my current work schedule and chasing around after my kids, I haven&#8217;t had a chance to see\u00a0&#8220;Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull&#8221; yet.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve heard a lot of negative things about the new movie, so I decided to tide myself over with some of the novels that I&#8217;ve heard are good.\u00a0 My friend Patrick recommended the Rob MacGregor novels.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;m only about a quarter of the way through the book, but I&#8217;m really enjoying it.\u00a0 It takes place after the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,\u00a0before the movies, and has a really high adventure feeling to it.\u00a0 Lost ruins, booby traps, things going wrong for Indy, a beautiful girl, almost losing his hat&#8230; y&#8217;know the fun bits of Indiana Jones!\u00a0 I started with this book, even though it&#8217;s\u00a0MacGregor&#8217;s third Indy novel.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t find his first two Indy novels the day I went shopping, and this one is MacGregor&#8217;s favorite.\u00a0 Assuming I enjoy this book the whole way through, I&#8217;ll sure I&#8217;ll go back and get the previous novels.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">And on a somewhat related note, if you haven&#8217;t read the <a
