Ever since the Da Vinci Code brought treasure hunting back into popularity, there have been a plethora of novels in which the characters race around the world, chased by evil-doers, to find various artifacts that frequently contain magical powers or stunning new historical facts. Some manage to be entertaining, some don't. This one, based on the Delphi Oracle, adds a new interesting twist to the hunt  and offers a studious, professorial heroine rather than a hairy chested swashbuckling pirate. I like that about this book. The history was also accessible and the descriptions of the various international locations was colorful and engaging.
