Book Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (Indiana Jones, No. 1)
Book Review: "Peril at Delphi" Book Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this book! I am a big Indiana Jones fan (shhh!) and when Nicole let me borrow this book I was ectatic. I really like the way the movies and books incorporate legends and mythology from all kinds of different cultures from around the world; because "Peril at Delphi" takes place in Greece, Greek Mythology sets the backgound for the adventure. I especially love books containing action and adventure- books that keep me on the edge with non-stop suspense and excitement. In comparison to the films, I like the books better because I can imagine the characters and scenery any way I want to; in the movies, I do not have this choice. However, actually SEEING a movie is easier to understand than the writting style of rob MacGreggor. There were many passages that I had to reread because he had a difficult time decribing what was happening. Still, I enjoyed this book very much and I am itching to read the others in the future.
Summary of 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 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?
