The Lara Croft: Tomb Raider novels by James Alan Gardner bring the iconic video game character to the page in a series of action-adventure stories. Lara Croft — aristocratic British archaeologist, expert marksman, and daring explorer — investigates ancient artifacts and lost civilizations while fending off rival treasure hunters and supernatural dangers.

Gardner’s entries include The Amulet of Power (2003), The Lost Cult (2004), and The Man of Bronze (2004), each sending Croft on a globe-spanning adventure. The novels capture the fast-paced, puzzle-solving spirit of the games while giving Gardner room to develop the character and settings in ways the game medium doesn’t allow.
