About this ebook

A LOST CIVILIZATION.
A DANGEROUS QUEST.
A DEADLY SECRET.

It’s one of history’s most enduring and controversial legends—the lost city of Atlantis. Archaeologist Nina Wilde is certain she’s solved the riddle of its whereabouts—and with the help of reclusive billionaire Kristian Frost, his beautiful daughter, Kari, and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase, she’s about to make the most important discovery in centuries. But not everyone wants them to succeed: a powerful and mysterious organization will stop at nothing to ensure that a secret submerged for 11,000 years never resurfaces.

More than one would-be discoverer has already died in pursuit of Atlantis’s secrets—including Nina’s own parents. Failure isn’t an option. From the streets of Manhattan to the Brazilian jungle, from a Tibetan mountaintop to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Nina and Eddie will race against time—and follow a trail of danger and death to a revelation so explosive, it could destroy civilization forever….

Ratings and reviews

The book would be a really good read if the pointless wife wouldn't be in it. The book starts right away with the wife and husband making pointless exposition. The problem with her and their kid is it takes you out of the immersion. Suddenly youre not going on an adventure with an explorer,but youre going on a family trip with the wife, right in your face romance, stupid,cliched american view points of the world. Which i find disgusting and laughable as a European considering americans don't know anything about the world... A big let down.

Very disappointing. A better title for the book might be The Destruction of Atlantis. There is very little actual story here. 99% of it is shoot em up, blow em up heroics. Very little Archeology. Not worth the read. I returned the rest of the series back to the library without out even bothering to read them.

I've been trying to load it to read it for a month and it always says it can't load part of the book from the server. I want a refund.
