May 01, Phoenix Carvelli marked it as to-read Shelves: Book won on Goodreads. For all lovers of vampires and mutants, for those who appreciate the Gothic style, but also romantic, I suggest the first two volumes of the series Estrange Reality. And of course, if you have the vein of a good reader who loves to share their opinions and comments on social media and on amazon, I wish to offer an electronic version. Sammy Keyes rated it really liked it Oct 30, Lawrence, told of the growing advance of German forces.
Indy became disillusioned with Villa's cause, and was trying to find himself at the age of When Remy was determined to return to Europe to defend his beloved Belgium, Indy accompanied him. As he would later recount, "when you're 16 and you hear of a fight going on, you sometimes think it'd be a good idea to get involved. Once again, revolution erupted around Jones as he witnessed the Easter Rebellion. Once in London, he found a recruitment office. At 16, he was too young to serve -- and America was not yet involved in the war.
Nonetheless, Jones adopted a less-than-clever alias -- Henri Defense -- and signed up for the Belgian Army. Though the recruitment officer saw through his ruse, he didn't stop Indy. Belgium was hungry for fresh soldiers to defend her soil. It wasn't long before Indy witnessed firsthand the horrors of war. At the Battle of the Somme, Indy's unit was decimated, leaving the young Corporal Defense in charge of the frightened troops.
They were reassigned under French command, and Indy was captured by German forces during a devastating counterattack. Jones was taken to a daunting maximum security prison, but with the help of fellow inmates -- including future French general Charles DeGaulle -- he escaped, and rejoined the Belgian army. After briefly serving as a motorcycle courier for the French army, Jones was reassigned to Africa, receiving a promotion in the process. Along with Remy, Lieutenant Defense became lost in transit and came to serve with the very unorthodox 25th Royal Fusiliers as they tracked down enemy artillery in German East Africa.
Indy rejoined his unit in Lake Tanganyika, where he continued to prove himself despite differences with his commanding officer, Major Boucher. Jones received a promotion to Captain, and was given the grueling task of crossing the unforgiving elements of the Congo to deliver weapons. Many of the unit's soldiers died of disease, including Boucher.
The experience opened up young Jones' eyes to the world's many different cultures and traditions. Though he needed a cane and wore an eye-patch, Jones still led an independent life, possessed a quick wit, and could recount a lifetime of extraordinary adventures throughout the 20th century.

Incapacitated by jungle illness, Jones recovered in a hospital run by Albert Schweitzer. Following his Africa duties, Jones returned to Europe in , and graduated from his frontline activities to espionage and intelligence operations. He accompanied the secret emissaries attempting to negotiate a separate peace between the Allies and Austria, and also tried to encourage the Spanish to turn against the Germans. By the time of his 18th birthday, Indy was stationed in Petrograd, Russia, working in the French Embassy. He tried to ferret out information about the Bolshevik uprising and was caught in the riots during a failed attempt to overthrow the provisional government.
Other assignments that year led Jones to Prague and Beersheba. In , his intelligence operations took him to Romania, Northern Italy, and Istanbul. By , following long years of death and destruction, the Great War finally came to a halt. At the Paris Peace Conference, Indy's talent for language served him well as he worked as a translator.

With the formalization of treaties, many believed the claim that "a thousand years of peace" would follow from that day, but within two decades, the world would be at war again. Having experienced war before his time, Indy found himself older and much worldlier than his fellow classmates. As a reflex to the death and destruction of the Great War, America in the s was eager to celebrate life.
Jones was no different. He embraced the growing popularity of jazz, trying his own hand at the soprano saxophone with such up-and-coming luminaries as Sidney Bechet. These musical contacts led Jones to New York during a break from school in the summer of , where he worked backstage at a Broadway musical and met young George Gershwin. Jones' brief fling with the entertainment industry even brought him to California, where he worked as a stuntman on a John Ford western. In the s, Jones' academic pursuits were split between his strengths in linguistics and archeology.
After having completed his undergraduate degree, Jones moved into a linguistics graduate program at the Sorbonne.

While there, he was drawn into a plot to overthrow King Constantine, a plot Jones was able to thwart. Despite such danger, he realized that archeology would become a lifelong pursuit in his life. After completing his graduate program, Jones was hired for his first professorial job at London University. The head of the Archeology department, Joanna Campbell, invited Jones to a dig in Whithorn, Scotland, on an expedition to confirm the legend of Merlin.
Here, Jones met and became romantically involved with Campbell's daughter, Dierdre. The two traveled together in other archeological pursuits, and tragically, Dierdre Campbell Jones was killed in a plane crash during an expedition to Brazil in April of While studying archeology, Jones learned from Professor Abner Ravenwood. The two developed a strong friendship, which Jones destroyed in by romancing Abner's young daughter, Marion.
He would not see her again until a decade later. The World Returns to War Despite the promised millennium of peace, the world was gearing once again for a globe-enveloping war. As international tensions grew in Europe, Jones was in Asia. In , when attempting to recover the lost ashes of Nurhachi for a family of Chinese gangsters in exchange for a rare diamond, Jones was double-crossed.
The Escape Artist
During his harried escape from Shanghai, his plane crashed in India. Alongside his traveling companions Willie Scott and Short Round, Jones discovered a surviving Thuggee cult in the caverns beneath Pankot palace. The bloodthirsty cult had kidnapped all the children from the neighboring village of Madripoor, forcing them into slave labor to dig for gems to fund their dark cause. The cult was determined to recover the sacred Sankara stones, mystical rocks with great power that would allow the Kali-worshiping cult to dominate the world.
Jones was able to kill the cult leader and free the enslaved children. The next year, Indiana Jones was contacted by the U. Army Intelligence confirmed that Hitler was in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest described in the Bible as being the transport for the Ten Commandments. According to legend, the resting place of the Ark could be determined with a related relic, the headpiece to the Staff of Ra.
Its owner, Abner Ravenwood, lived in Nepal, so Jones voyaged there to make amends with his former mentor. Nazi spies discovered Jones' plans, and attempted to secure the headpiece before he did. They failed, and Indy was reunited with Marion Ravenwood. He learned that Abner had died. Jones and Marion rekindled their turbulent romance during their quest to recover the Ark. They succeeded, transporting the Ark to Washington D. Indiana Jones and his patron, Marcus Brody of the National Museum, were handsomely compensated for the priceless artifact, but the government reneged on its initial promise to allow the museum to keep the Ark.
The following year, wealthy industrialist Walter Donavan contacted Jones. Donavan was funding an archeological expedition to find the Holy Grail, and the venture had stalled when the project leader, Henry Jones Sr. The elder Jones had been kidnapped by German agents, and Indiana Jones was once again recruited to beat the Nazis in a race for a priceless relic.

The Holy Grail was never recovered, but Jones was able to reunite with his father, ending decades of estrangement. Post War Years Indiana Jones continued to lecture and teach in a variety of higher learning institutes around the world after the s, though records of his adventuring diminished. It is known that in , he attempted to save a sacred Native American relic from falling into the wrong hands in Wyoming, but not much is known after that.
Age and injury may have finally taken their toll on Jones' adventuring days, though he was markedly active in his advanced age. Even in the s, Jones was still lecturing, at the age of Though he needed a cane and wore an eye-patch, Jones still led an independent life, possessed a quick wit, and could recount a lifetime of extraordinary adventures throughout the 20th century. Marion Ravenwood Although Marion Ravenwood was privileged to travel to some exotic locations as a young girl, the experience was hardly luxurious.
She was the daughter of Abner Ravenwood, a notable archeology professor obsessed with finding the lost Ark of the Covenant. The elder Ravenwood would travel the world searching for clues regarding the lost Ark's resting place, and he would bring Marion to some seedy and dangerous locales in his quest. It was a lonely existence, flitting from place to place with only her father.
Perhaps this is what helped cement a romantic connection with Abner's most promising former student, Indiana Jones, who shared a similar childhood. Jones was a year old graduate student when he met Marion, who was still in her teens. Knowing full well that a fling with his mentor's daughter could upset his friendship with Abner, Indy nonetheless continued. Marion would later attribute her love to childhood naivety.
Indy sees it differently, though. He recognized the strength of Marion's spirit, and is convinced she fully knew the consequences.

These consequences resulted in Jones being estranged from the Ravenwoods for a decade. Abner and Indy had a falling out over his relationship with Marion, and the two did not speak for years.
Around this time, Abner was dismissed from the University of Chicago. Marion, furious at Indy, found it easy to blame this tide of misfortune on Jones. Though no longer affiliated with the university, Abner nonetheless continued his search for the Ark.
