Indiana Jones has landed his first teaching post, in the archaeology department at London University. His brightest--and prettiest--student is a twenty-year-old Scottish girl, Deirdre Campbell, who claims she's uncovered a golden scroll, proof of the true existence of Merlin, sorcerer of myth and legend. Indy's intrigued by the thesis . . . and by Deirdre. So, too, is member of Parliament Adrian Powell. He's seeking to resurrect the ancient order of the Druids, whose secrets of power could pave his way to world conquest. But first he needs the scroll . . . and he's willing to kill to get it. Where there's magic, mystery, and murder, Indy goes to the head of the class. Dropping his books and picking up his bullwhip, he joins Deirdre on an action-packed chase across Britain, from the peril-filled caves of Scotland to the savage dance of the giants at Stonehenge--where Merlin's secret will finally be revealed. But not before Indy gets a lesson in love from Deirdre . . . and a lesson in hate from a maniac who means to rule the world.

Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants is the second of twelve Indiana Jones novels published in the 1990s. This series, officially licensed by Lucasfilm, is inspired by the Indiana Jones character who first appeared in 1981 with the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. Rob MacGregor authored the first six books including The Dance of the Giants. Martin Caidin wrote the seventh and eighth books, and Max McCoy wrote the last four.
This book opens in 1925 and Indy is teaching archaeology classes at the University of London. Deirdre Campbell, one of his students, wants to conduct a research project on the existence of Merlin. Merlin is one of many legendary figures affiliated with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Adrian Powell (a power hungry member of Parliament and one who seeks to revive the druids) is aware of this research project. Thus begins an exciting journey across Scotland and England that culminates with druid ceremonies and an eclipse at the mysterious ruins of Stonehenge.
I did like this book as it was a good balance of mystery, action, romance, history, and adventure. I learned about the Tower of London, Stonehenge, Merlin, the druids, and haggis. This book makes reference to the events from The Peril at Delphi (the first book in the series). Thus, the Indiana Jones books are best read in order as they are part of a series. In conclusion, The Dance of the Giants is an entertaining book and captures the spirit of adventure that characterizes Indiana Jones.
