Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (Indiana Jones, No. 1)

Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (Indiana Jones, No. 1)

For sixteen centuries the Order of Pythia has awaited the reappearance of the ancient oracle of sacred knowledge at Delphi. An earthquake, rending the earth beneath the ruins, has now heralded her return. Dorian Belecamus, a beautiful and bewitching archaeology professor, sees an opportunity to do more than dig into the past: this is her chance to seize control of her countryâ€™s futureâ€”by becoming the Oracle of Delphi! And sheâ€™s found just the man to help her consummate her scheme. Heâ€™s brash, heâ€™s reckless, and heâ€™s fallen under her spell. His name: Indiana Jones.

Their adventure spans the globe from Chicago to Paris to Greece, where, bullwhip in hand, Indy descends into the bottomless pit of the serpent god and finds a sacred stone that holds the key to the oracleâ€™s prophecies. But Dorian has designed an even more sinister fate for young Indy: she means to make him her lover, her priest, and her pawn in a plot to kill the king. Will Indy find the source of Pythiaâ€™s powersâ€”or will he find himself sacrificed at Dorianâ€™s altar, a victim of her deadly ambition and desire?
