Publisher's summary[]
YOU and Indiana Jones cannot rest until you find THE MASK OF THE ELEPHANT
Legend has it, deep in the Congo one thousand years ago, an enormous elephant terrorized an African tribe. To ward off the creature's angry spirit, the tribesmen fashioned a glittering gold and diamond elephant mask. Soon after, the killer bull vanished. And so did the priceless mask.
But now Indiana Jones is cracking his whip in the Congo. And fortunately for you: first he interrupts your visit with some imposing dinner hosts and then the hair-raiding search begins, with you and Indy meeting the likes of 12-foot crocs, hostile natives with poison darts, and the insidious rival archaeologist C.P. Smythe. Along the way YOU make the decisions that will lead you and Indy to the precious elephant mask and the return of a legend—as you FIND YOUR FATE.
