James Marten

James Martin an CIA agent who went undercover as an gangsterboss in order to get the machine of Petryk.

In Chicago
When Indiana Jones and Petryk visited Chicago, James Martin got the mission to disable or get the machine Petryk had invented. He kidnapped Petryk and tortured him. That didn't work, because Petryk would rather die than give his machine to somebody. Malone then ordered one of his men to kidnap Indiana. One of Malone's men then tortured the captured Indiana Jones in order to make Petryk tell where the machine is. That also didn't work. Hook then put cement on Indy's and Petryk's legs. When Malone and his gang came back to look after them, he told Wardrobe to throw Indy out of the window. Indy survived barely and fleed with the cement on his legs. He later came back to rescue Petryk. They then had a car chase in the streets, which Indy did won.He, Zacharias and Petryk then got on the SMUGGLERS QUEEN to drove away.

At the Fisherman's Inn
When Indy talked with Petryk's son on the telephone in the Fisherman's Inn. Malone and two of his men came to the place to capture Indy. Indy then provocated a fight between the guests of the Fisherman's Inn and Malone and two of his gang members. When the fight began, Indy flew the scene and drove away with Harvey Bennet.

On the Michigan-sea
James later came back with Hook and Wardrobe to capture Indy and Petryk once again, but failed because a sack from a ballon fell on their boat.

In Kansas City
When James arrived in Kansas City he ordered a pilot to destroy the ballon. Indy heard that, and sabotaged the plane of the pilot.

Somewhere in Colorado
When Indy and his friends wander in the wildness, they once again met Malone and his gang. This time he brought a dog, to defeat Indy and Killer. This plan failed because the dog fell in love with the dog from Zacharias (Killer).

In Hiob
They were chased by Navajo-Indians in Hiob. After the attack they teamed up with Indiana Jones in order to get the machine. When they attacked the base of Jake and his men, they went right into a trap and were captured.

In the other world
James and his men later came at the near end of the book, to help Indiana to beat Jake's men up. James tied up Jake. He then revealed that he was an CIA agent and not an gansterboss and showed off his case. To his surprise, his men were also intelligence agents.
