Book Description

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 country’s future—by becoming the Oracle of Delphi! And she’s found just the man to help her consummate her scheme. He’s brash, he’s reckless, and he’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 oracle’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 Pythia’s powers—or will he find himself sacrificed at Dorian’s altar, a victim of her deadly ambition and desire?

4.0 out of 5 stars Peril at Dephi - A Good Start Down the Road of Indy Novels, May 26, 2001
By 
"jnebravo" (Dora, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (Indiana Jones, No. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought Peril at Delphi was a good beginning to the novel series that fills in the blanks of what happens in Indy's life between where the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series left off and the Raiders of the Lost Ark begins. It's fast-paced, interesting and stays true to the Indy that we all know and love. However we must remember while reading this book that Indy is still young and not as worldly or battle-hardened as he is in the Movies. That's what I think is really special about the Rob McGregor novels. He lets us see the events and cicumstances that shape Indy into the gritty, Harrison Ford character of later adventures. Peril at Dephi is a must-read for all Indy fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent start., August 9, 1999
By A Customer
This isn't the best introduction to the world of Indy novels. Obviously, Indy of 1922 wouldn't get to see as much action as Indy of the 1930's, but still... The book seemed to be focused more on politics and intrigue than the archeology. The visions Indy gets when holding the Omphalos, though, are a nice touch. Be sure to read my reviews of Dance of the Giants, Seven Veils, Genesis Deluge, Unicorn's Legacy, Interior World, Sky Pirates(coming soon), Philosopher's Stone, Dinosaur Eggs, and Secret of the Sphinx.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, March 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (Indiana Jones, No. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
This first of the Indy novels is, so far, my favorite. I do have to say that I put it down after reading the first half. It just didn't have the Indiana Jones "feel" to it. But when I eventually started reading it again, the last half had more than enough of that "feel". It was terrific. Wish I would have kept reading the first time.
