I’m not sure if “adventure” is sufficient for what I mean, but specifically including Indiana Jones, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, The Mummy, and related books about characters who go looking for treasure, deal with traps, puzzles, fascists, danger, and sometimes actual supernatural elements.
What are the most important books in this pulp genre, and what are the keys to success which make them fun, worthwhile reads?
