## Description

From an extraordinary discovery in a remote desert oasis to a desperate race against time in the ocean depths, a team of adventurers is about to find the truth behind the most baffling legend in history. The hunt is on for… Marine archaeologist Jack Howard has stumbled upon the keys to an ancient puzzle. With a crack team of scientific experts and ex–Special Forces commandos, he is heading for what he believes could be the greatest archaeological find of all time—the site of fabled Atlantis—while a ruthless adversary watches his every move and prepares to strike. But neither of them could have imagined what awaits them in the murky depths. Not only a shocking truth about a lost world, but an explosive secret that could have devastating consequences today. Jack is determined to stop the legacy of Atlantis from falling into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. But first he must do battle to prevent a global catastrophe.

Review: Great Read!! - I have to say I was impressed that a good story could be told without gratuitous sex and foul language!! The story was good and held my attention to the end. While I don't agree with the explanations of the Great Flood the story made sense. I really enjoy the archealogical mystery type of books. This is a great read. I am looking forward to reading his other books.
Review: A good Authentic, Informative Atlantis-themed thriller - Gibbins has crafted an original, engrossing tale that makes a wonderful addition to the body of Atlantis-themed thrillers. Two separate discoveries, one in the Mediterranean and one in Egypt, provide clues to the true Atlantis: located in a place that no one had previously suspected. The heroes must outwit corrupt Eastern European warlords as they decipher the clues that guide them to their destination. A cold-war throwback subplot is thrown in to add tension. I appreciated the originality of this story. It's not another "Atlantis under the Antarctic ice" story, nor are the Atlantians an alien race. There's no supernatural element. Instead, the back-story is rich in history and archaeology. If you watch enough History Channel or read up on current archaeology, the location of Gibbin's Atlantis will sound familiar, but to most readers this will be a brand new idea, and a highly plausible one. Also, I have to praise Gibbons for the fact that the Vatican plays no part whatsoever in this story. Hopefully that trend is running its course. Gibbins is a marine archaeologist by trade, and his knowledge comes across in his writing. The story is very strong on history, and leaves no gaps unfilled. He also makes a point to be reasonably well-informed on weaponry and related technology. It's not Tom Clancy-level, but neither is it the generic treatment given by many authors. The reader believes Gibbons knows what he's talking about. The pacing of the story is the area that some people may not like. The first two-thirds of the book, while not void of action, is devoted almost exclusively to discussion and analysis of the history, archaeological record and clues regarding Atlantis. The characters are in motion while this is going on, but most of the dialogue and the thoughts of the point-of-view characters are devoted to unraveling the mystery. There's a great deal of, "Dr. Jones, will you please explain to our colleague...." In fairness to Gibbins, he has a great deal of information to share, and he doles it out through dialogue and narrative voice the best he can. Fans of the fast-paced action thriller will find it tedious. But readers and Indiana Jones fans like me, who love the history and archaeology, will eat it up. I was never bored, as I love a well-developed back-story, particularly if it involves ancient history. Its the last third of the book that really flies by, with the exploration angle almost entirely giving way to action sequences and a kidnapping subplot. The story wraps up with the final secret being unveiled. This is another section many might find boring, as it is pages and pages of conversational analysis It reminds me of Indiana Jones only in the present day. Again, I didn't mind it at all, and enjoyed the way Gibbins tied Atlantis to so many cultures, myths and religions, though it made me wonder what he has left about which to write, so thorough was the linking up of stories. As with so many books in the genre, characterization is very thin, though perhaps more so in this book because the characters spend so much time serving as mouthpieces for the vast historical background. A couple of the characters have unique traits, but the plot isn't truly affected by their particular personalities. Im sure Gibbin`s will address this issue in any future books he writes after all this is his first book. Overall, I think Atlantis will be slow but entertaining to some, and highly engrossing to others. In any case it is well worth your time. I cant wait to see what adventures he has planed for Dr. Howard and his readers next.
