Day of the Delphi

Jon Land's 14th action-adventure thriller, released in December 1993.

"The right wing lost the last election, but its most radical elements aren't about to give up the next one. Seizing on the frustration of the American people, charismatic billionaire Samuel Jackson Dodd uses all his charm - and power - to win his upcoming race against the President.

But is this a campaign or a consiracy ? In the darkest corridors of power a shadowy cabal is about to make its move, with Dodd at its head. And they want more than just the presidency, they want nothing less than complete control of the United States government for their own purposes. As the coup d'etat is planned by mysterious figures of immense power, from both within the government and from foreign sources, America's future and our very way of life teeter on the brink of annihilation.

From the neon-lit streets of Miami, to the South Africa of a new Hitler, to the secret underground lair of the single man who knows everything, the doomsday clock ticks onward moving ever closer to the ... Day of the Delphi ".

Ralph Arnote (author) - " Tom Clancy and Stephen Coonts step aside. Jon Land is the new masterof the political thriller, with plot twists for the '90's. Characters that jump off the page and breathless pace make himn the new one to beat. "

Donald Hamilton (author) - " A big, violent, and ingenious novel of conspiracy and high treason..."
