A fun mystery plot with a fascinating historical/mythological basis, plus a surprisingly fitting tie-in to the previous novel, makes for both a solid standalone but also a satisfying progression of the books as a series. Don't buy the romance unfortunately.

How Indy is it...
7/10 - Compared to the last one, Indy's a bit older now, and finally an archaeology teacher, so he's closer to the character we know and love, although the story this time is less adventure and more intrigue.

Dance of the Giants is better than Peril at Delphi, in part because MacGregor ended this story in a better way. It's still not a perfect book, but MacGregor pulls in enough of the details from PoD to suggest that he's writing a larger story that will involve the pieces from the previous books as he continues the series. That should keep the series interesting. At the very least, the books are fun reads, and I imagine people reading them would be looking for just that.

For reference, this book is the one about Stonehenge.
