review 1: The Delphi Agenda is a cheap knockoff of Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code". The book focuses around a young woman whose mentor, Raimond Foix has just been murdered by a secret sect of the Catholic church that turns out to be the Inquisition still alive after all this time. Turns out he was the last in the continuing line of the Delphic Oracle. Lisa, the protagonist, must follow clues that Raimond left, while evading the secret sect, to discover that she is the new Oracle. The language is confusing and choppy. The facts are not backed up by any sources and are revealed in awkward fashion. The characters are flat and the dialogue stagnant.
review 2: I found this an intriguing spin on the type of thriller Dan Brown made so famous. For the most part, it was an enjo... moreyable tale. I only found the climax a bit out of sync with the rest. The confrontation in the abbey basement was in some ways as garbled as on of the main character's fugue states. Aside from the minor disappointment there, even the final resolution fit the rest of the tale. Though I'm not likely to look too deeply, it would be interesting to find a bit more about the historical figures mentioned throughout. less
