Description: 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?
