Indiana Jones meets Stargate Atlantis

A disgraced archaeologist joins forces with a Vatican linguist in a race against other world powers to investigate a miraculous phenomenon in the Antarctic, which could be the lost city of Atlantis.

This is a well-written book, with interesting and believable characters, both good and bad, a fast-paced story and a high un-putdownable factor. Having just returned another title for ridiculous implausibility (yes, I am a fussy reader/listener), it was a pleasure to digest this through to the end, and I promptly paid for and downloaded the sequel on Audible. I would add that the narration is good, except for the poor editing which has left too short a gap between chapters (literally milliseconds), but this is a minor gripe.

Good Story

Great story but I didn't particularly like any of the characters and the narrator's Australian accent was terrible!

Fast action

Enjoyed the story and the action although some of it was hard to follow and several things could have done with explaining how "group/person A" arrived in that place at that moment etc.

Narration was up to the usual Scott Brick high standard. Sadly the production let the book down a little as every chapter ends on a tense moment but is immediately ruined by the next chapter starting almost over the top of the last word, killing any suspense. There was no pause at all between the last word and "Chapter X..."

2 Thumbs up

I really enjoyed this book! I only downloaded it as it was free, hadn't seen it or been recomend it before ( in hind sight I would have paid). I listened to it in 2 sittings and will now be looking out for more fron the author now.
Considering the subject matter the story isn't to out there and is fast paced. Scott bricks narration is spot on

Good... funny accents!

I enjoyed this. Its no masterpiece but an interesting storyline. My only gripe... the narrator does some awful accents!! The English.Australian middle aged nun sounds like a teenage chimney sweep from 1800s England!!

Entertaining nonsense - would make a good bad movie

Imaginative, with an action packed plot; good fun to listen too, but lacking in subtlety and depth. All characters are one dimensional, not so much archetypical so much as stereotypical. Would make a good film as there are a lot of nice ideas that would lend themselves to the Hollywood special FX, and the premise itself is interesting; but the science is bad, and there are one too many cringe moments to make it a truly great book.

good story - awful narration

I was very distracted by the dock van dyke method of accent delivery, honestly can't believe the narrator was happy with his performance.
