Who's trying to stop the recovery of the ark at all costs?

It certainly is a product of its time with its 2000s Islamic terrorist bent, but even from a 2020s liberal bent, it isn't' taken too far for the sake of literature.
Highly recommend, and you'll get a long fine without having read the first one, but I suggest that one too. I listened to that on audio book, and after seeing this one in print, I want to buy a copy of that to see what pictures I missed on CD.
