Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone

For centuries the lust for wealth and immortality has driven men mad. Now Indiana Jones is called to London to recover an ancient alchemist's manuscript rumored to contain the formula both for turning lead into gold and granting its owner eternal life. Certain that a missing British alchemist and an insane Renaissance scholar are involved in the theft, Indyalong with the alchemist's beautiful sistertravels to Rome, and straight into the hands of Mussolini's fascists. The mad scholar Sarducci has stolen the Voynich Manuscript, all right. But that's only half the story. The manuscript is really a map, leading into the desert and the most ancient and magnificent crypt in the world, where Indiana Jones will either witness an astounding miracle of alchemyor become the tomb's next inhabitant.McCoy, Max is the author of 'Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone' with ISBN 9780553561968 and ISBN 0553561960.
