Customer Reviews

A fairly good action novel *mild spoilers*

Most of this is typical spy thriller stuff, but the last act really saves it. Unlikely allies join forces in a large-scale, nigh epic battle. The writing style isn't the best, there's a lot of little grammatical and stylistic errors, but the narrative is fairly engaging, and Blaine McCracken's superman status isn't as bad as it becomes in later books.

Day of the Delphi-Good start for the McCracken series.

If this is the first book in the McCracken series you read, then good for you. The Day of the Delphi has elements of the good McCracken novels: action, last-minute saves, shootouts, chases and the requisite mano-a-mano fight between a brutal villian and Johnny Wareagle. Sal Belamo has his moments too.

Excellent spy/action book!

Jon Land throws you into a hidden world of international politics and a desire to take over the world. The veteran hero, Blaine McCraken, ends up in the middle of all this by mistake and now is the only chance we have. If you are looking for a classic spy/action book, this is it! Sit down and don't expect to get up until you finish this one.

One of Lands best

Well, Land has done it again, using his larger than life hero Blaine Mccraken, Land mixes his usual in-your-face action, must-turn-the-page suspense and wry humor into a brilliant concoction of international intrigue. Highly Reccommende
