The books in the 'Theoclea' series are generally set in ca. 500 BC, and feature the adventures of Theoclea, the Oracle of the Temple of Delphi. One of her teachers was Pythagoras...and so we have a rare moment when Spirituality and Science were brought together...the ultimate person who 'Sees' meets the ultimate person who 'Knows'. Reincarnation, visions, poetry, and other means are used to keep the action going.

[Bill Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really fun book to read! The author has let his imagination run wild and delivered a captivating story that combines elements of fantasy with true historical figures such as Tesla and Wyatt Earp. Throw in a sprinkling of Dracula and jazz musicians and you have a wonderfully different interpretation of some famous historical events and imaginative ideas for how things could have worked out differently.
The author has done a great job of bringing these various characters to life and I loved learning more about Tesla in particular, who is not as well known as some of his contemporaries.
Phoebe (The Delphic Oracle) is able to move through time and encounter these historical characters (plus Dracula) at defining moments in their lives, e.g. she meets Wyatt Earp just as the gunfight at the OK Corral is about to commence and her intervention results in a different ending to the gunfight.
Phoebe is always trying to help mankind find a different way to live, one based on peace and prosperity, not fighting and pursuit of wealth and power.
I think everyone will find something to enjoy in this intriguing, well written book.

Entertaining Five Star Read.
A mystical magic ride through the centuries. Pan Orpheus's storytelling skills are from another world. Phoebe travels through time. Mixing historical characters and places with fiction and a vivid imagination, bringing life to this tale of fantasy and history. I especially liked Wyatt Earp in the mix.

Like other Pan Orpheus books, Phoebe, the Delphic Oracle, takes Nikola Tesla to Peru and Other Stories weaves together elements of history and mythology in a series of related stories. In this book, we meet, among others, Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ernest Shackleton, Carl Jung, Bix Beiderbecke, the cowboys involved in the gunfight at the OK Corral, including Wyatt Earp, and important sites such as Atlantis, which is set in the South Pacific, and Caral, Peru, famous for its thousand-year reign of peace.
Holding all of these together are the spiritual beings who decide to intervene in the affairs of humans. Their messages, carried through the rose medallions, concern the future, and bring with them the promise of hope.
This is another well-crafted, fast-paced, complex tale from Pan Orpheus. Enjoy!
