Young Indiana Jones has landed his first teaching post, in the archaeology department at London University. His brightest -- and pretties -- student is a twenty-year-old Scottish girl, Deirdre Campbell, who claims she's uncovered a golden scroll, proff of the true existence of Merlin, sorcerer of myth and legend. Indy's intrigued by the thesis... and by Deirdre. So, too, is Parliament member Adrian Powell. He's seeking to resurrect the ancient order of the Druids, whose secrets of power could pavehis 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, Indiana Jones goes to the head of the class. Dropping his books and picking up his bullwhip, Indy joins Deirdre on an action-packed chaseacross Britain, from the peril-filled caves of Scotlan 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 mankind.
