Im sure there has been plenty said about both these books on their respective individual pages, but when you find the duo for 50p you don't say no.

For my part, love them both. Lot of nostalgia value for me, and they fill the Indiana Jones and Lara Croft void that I cannot find enough of. Solid action, great characters.

The major flaw would be the tendency to kill off characters for plot development of the MC, but hey ho it's a staple of the genre. I hate it.
