E.E. Knight’s involvement with the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise in the early 2000s produced both reference material and original fiction. The Tomb Raider Tech Manual (2001) was a companion book tied to the film, while the three novels that followed sent Lara Croft after ancient artifacts in various global locations, in the tradition of the games.

The novels were published in 2003 and 2004 as part of a broader wave of licensed Tomb Raider fiction during the peak of the franchise’s cultural visibility. Each book is a self-contained action-adventure story, which makes the series accessible to readers who want to pick up a single volume rather than committing to a sequence. Some entries appear in this list under multiple title variants, reflecting different editions of the same books.

The three distinct novels are The Amulet of Power, The Lost Cult, and The Man of Bronze, with some entries representing the same book under a slightly different title formatting that was common with licensed fiction of this era.
