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 of 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 futureby 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 is Indiana Jones.

The 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 on even more sinister
fate for young Indy: She means to make him
her lover, her priest, her pawn in a plot
to kill the king.

Will Indy find the source
of Pythia's powers or find himself sacrificed
at Dorian's altar, a victim of her deadly
ambition and desire?
