The Atlantis Gene (The Atlantis Trilogy, #1)

by A.G. Riddle

THE BATTLE TO SAVE HUMANITY HAS BEGUN.

Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep within an iceberg. Entombed for thousands of years, it can't possibly be man-made. But a secretive and ruthless cabal think they know what it is... and what it means.

The Immari have spent millennia preparing for the return of humanity's ancient enemy. Faced with an extinction-level threat, they believe mankind's only chance of survival will mean sacrificing 99.9% of the planet's population. It's a price the Immari are prepared to pay.

Geneticist Kate Warner and intelligence agent David Vale may have a chance to avert the looming catastrophe, but only if they can decode the secrets of the Atlantis Gene and unlock the truth about humanity's origins.

Reviews

[Jeff Sexton]

The search for a "cure" for Autism at the beginning of this book nearly had this Autistic throwing it away in disgust. Fortunately that plot point was abandoned early, and a truly intriguing story emerged in its place. Still dinging it a star by even including such an evil point - and applauding it as good.

A thrilling and exciting book, I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. Kate and David are characters I grew to like and every twist and turn was unexpected and added more to the tale. Definitely a series to continue.

I enjoyed this book. We follow along the journey between the POV's of Dr. Kate Warner and Agent David Vale. We follow along as we try to find out the mystery of why things keep happening to them and as they try to figure out who is behind all of it. I was never bored readng it and I couldn't put the book down, as I wanted to figure out what is going on. There's plenty of action scenes and the pace moves fast.

We were left with a ending that will make you want to pick up the 2nd book to figure out what the aftermath is going to be.
