Featured review
And not much to say bad about it. Very interesting plot, and has a magnificent ending. I like Indy as a spy, it seems so appropriate to him that relates to his later life. The Australians have an interesting trek of their own. T. E. Lawerence has interesting points and is portrayed well. I recommend this to any person who likes Young Indy.
