Storytelling doesn't get much better than this. I've set this one aside to read again!
David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of THE EXPEDITER Brokaw's hero is Indiana Jones without the whip. Who knew archeology could be so exciting? Wonderful entertainment.
Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of THE TRAITOR A winning combination of all the ingredients an adventure addict could want: great action, intrepid archeologists, dark conspiracies, cliffhangers, and a real sense of wonder
Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of PAUL OF DUNE and author of THE EDGE OF THE WORLD In the 19th century, the equivalent of a blockbuster movie was a tense, thrilling novel, often told in serial form. We tend to forget that the modern novel need not be anything more significant than excellent entertainment, which is the perfect description of Charles Brokaw's The Atlantis Code . . . A rollicking adventure, with nonstop action and suspense. Readers can only hope that Brokaw is prepared to send Professor Lourds on further quests
