Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
by James RollinsHe's back. Everyone's favorite globe-trotting, treasure-hunting, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again-hurtling head first into high adventure and relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble. But the man in the jaunty brown fedora and battered leather jacket is no ordinary digger in the dirt. From the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant to the legendary Holy Grail, he's salvaged the world's most amazing artifacts, while beating the baddest villains and defying the most breathtaking odds. Now it's 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who's as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious-and powerful-than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension. Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he's tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat. Fate, however, has other plans. Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague's kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy's back in the game-playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.

But to discover the fantastic secret, Indy will have to survive battles with one of the most lethal enemies he's ever met!
Indiana Jones and the Peril At Delphi (Indiana Jones No. #1)
by Rob MacgregorINTO THE ABYSS OF THE SERPENT For sixteen centuries the Order of Pythia has awaited the reappearance of the ancient oracle of sacred knowledge at Delphi. An earthquake, rending the earth beneath the ruins, has now heralded her return. Dorian Belecamus, a beautiful and bewitching archaeology professor, sees an opportunity to do more than dig into the past: this is her chance to seize control of her country's future-by becoming the Oracle of Delphi! And she's found just the man to help her consummate her scheme. He's brash, he's reckless, and he's fallen under her spell. His name: Indiana Jones. Their adventure spans the globe from Chicago to Paris to Greece, where, bullwhip in hand, Indy descends into the bottomless pit of the serpent god and finds a sacred stone that holds the key to the oracle's prophecies. But Dorian has designed an even more sinister fate for young Indy: she means to make him her lover, her priest, and her pawn in a plot to kill the king. Will Indy find the source of Pythia's powers, or will he find himself sacrificed at Dorian's altar, a victim of her deadly ambition and desire?

Indigo Alloy: Mixologists And Pirates Part Six (Mixologists and Pirates #6)
by Frost KayFact 417 – Kidnapping was not sexy. The old Earth romances had it wrong. Being captured by an attractive elfin alien was anything but glamourous. It was slave labor with a pinch of harassment. But Allie Sai wouldn’t take anyone’s gruff, even if it meant challenging the scariest man she’d ever met, erm.. alien.Fact 359 – Southern belles never played by the rules. Poker was always her game of choice, so it was fitting that to take down Sloven and win her freedom, Allie had to take a chance and do the impossible – destroy the King’s criminal empire and get out without dying. Simple, right? If only. Fact 205 – Luck had a funny way of changing when you least expected it. It was just one compromise…Once you take one sip of this series, you'll probably want to keep coming back for more! ~ Goodreads ReviewerMixologists and Pirates Series1 - Amber Vial2 - Emerald Bane3 - Scarlet Venom4 - Cyan Toxin5 - Onyx Elixir6 - Indigo Alloy
Indigo Footsteps, Spatters of Red

They make love and fight, know each other's strengths and weaknesses, deal with the "in-laws," and share their life and home. They even work together.

While Carter and Josh are used to cheating death on a daily basis, this time the odds are stacked against them. Between a deadly mission to complete and Josh's grandma coming for a visit, it'll take a miracle to get them out as horror invades not only a major city but also their home.

by James A. Owen"Answer the question unanswered for more than two millennia, and perhaps you may yet restore the world." On a September evening in 1931, John and Jack, two of the Caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica, discover a cryptic warning on a medieval manuscript -- which is not only addressed to them but seems to have been written by their friend, Hugo Dyson! But before they can discover the origin of the strange book, Hugo walks through a door in time -- and vanishes into the past. And in that moment, the world begins to change. The Frontier, which separates our world from the Archipelago of Dreams, has fallen. Dark and terrible beasts roam throughout England. No one can be summoned from the Archipelago. And both worlds have fallen into darkness under the reign of a cruel and terrible king. The only hope to restore the proper order of things lies on a forgotten island at the edge of the Archipelago, where a time travel device left by Jules Verne must be used to race through history itself -- from the Bronze Age to ancient Alexandria and the founding of the Silver Throne -- in one night. And in that single night, John and Jack will find that the only way to save their friend and stop the chaos destroying the world is to solve a 2,000-year-old mystery: Who is the Cartographer?

Indistintos
by John Kipling Lewis Ezio CardozoIndistintos é uma série de contos em estilo rápido e direto e poemas repletos de imagens surreais. Do policial que vai à mesma padaria todos os dias ao 'faxineiro' de uma espécie inusitada de estabelecimento o que vemos são figuras nas quais esbarramos todos os dias, às vezes sem saber o que se passa em suas mentes (quase sempre) doentias. Indistintos fala da realidade, da realidade que John K. Lewis criou com os filtros que tem na cabeça. Da realidade de um homem cuja realidade o perturba. Ou pelo menos é o que ele quer que você pense.

Estimado amigo, Es el año de 2084, y aquella famosa cita de Margaret Thatcher se ha convertido en una realidad: realmente no existe tal cosa como la sociedad. Nadie le habla a nadie más.

Incapaz de satisfacer sus necesidades sociales, la población ha caído en un pozo de depresión y ansiedad. El suicidio se ha convertido en la norma. Todo suena bastante morboso, ¿no es así? Pero, por favor, no te desesperes, hay esperanza, y se presenta en la forma de nuestra heroína: Renee Ann Blanca. Deseando llenar el hueco con forma de sociedad en su vida, nuestra Renee hace lo impensable: ¡sale en busca de compañía humana! Es un acto radical y un desafío enorme. Pero eso, supongo, es la razón por la que vale la pena contar su historia. Es tan emocionante como conmovedora, y creo que te va a encantar. ...

Mais je vous en prie, ne désespérez pas. Il y a de l’espoir, et celui-ci porte le nom de notre héroïne : Renée Ann Blanca. Souhaitant combler le vide affectif dans sa vie, notre Renée va faire l’impensable : se mettre en quête de compagnie humaine ! C’est un acte radical et un défi de taille.

Individutopie: So etwas wie die Gesellschaft gibt es nicht.
by Joss SheldonWir schreiben das Jahr 2084 und Margaret Thatchers berühmtes Zitat ist Wirklichkeit geworden: So etwas wie die Gesellschaft gibt es nicht. Die Leute sprechen nicht mehr miteinander. Sie sehen sich nicht mehr gegenseitig an. Die Menschen arbeiten nicht mehr zusammen, sie konkurrieren bloß noch. Es schmerzt mich das zugeben zu müssen, aber dies hatte tragische Konsequenzen. Da die Bevölkerung nicht mehr dazu in der Lage war, ihre sozialen Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen, ist sie Depressionen und Beklemmungsgefühlen anheimgefallen. Selbstmord ist zur Norm geworden. Das alles klingt ziemlich morbide, nicht wahr? Aber verzagen Sie nicht, denn es gibt Hoffnung, die in Form unserer Heldin daher kommt: Renee Ann Blanca. Da sie etwas gegen den fehlenden sozialen Kontakt in ihrem Leben unternehmen will, tut sie das Undenkbare: Sie macht sich auf die Suche nach menschlicher Gesellschaft! Eine radikale Tat und eine enorme Herausforderung. Aber ich schätze, das ist der Grund, warum es sich lohnt ihre Geschichte zu erzählen. Sie ist packend und ergreifend zugleich und ich glaube, Sie werden sie lieben…
