The Atlantis Gene

"i don’t know how i haven’t heard of this series earlier. i want this as a movie. i’m so hard to please in terms of keeping my attention, and this book i haven’t been able to put down "

"Intricately woven mind candy for those that love a complex plot with lots of action! This book is a really good read. There are multiple things going on that at first I couldn't imagine how they would all come together, but they do. Those who stopped in the middle because of complexity completely missed out. Cool surprises I didn't see coming! I didn't care for the romance part, but it does not take away from the story or get intolerable. The suspense kept me turning pages. It ends on a cliff hanger and I can't wait to start the next book! I marked the pace as steady, but the last half the pace is fast."

"Bleh, no short synopsis this time. I really wanted to like this book, but the ‘thriller’ bits definitely outweighed the ‘sf’ bits, to the point where I got tired of reading about spies and started skimming forward. Maybe book 2 would be more my thing, but I’m not convinced that I want to buy the second book on such a thin liking for the first book. The writing was also very uneven, and at least at the beginning, would have done well to have been edited significantly. <br/>"

"Awesome trilogy, definitely one of my top 5 favorite "

"Fascinating! Couldn’t put it down!"

"Scarily relevant plot!"

"This book was written in 2013 but the parallels to current pandemic are a bit startling , some of his writing is based on the origin of humans which is fascinating and true. Where the book branches into fiction off of our history is very creative and sometime quite dark with reflections into our current societies . I enjoyed this book and would recommend to anyone who likes this science fiction. "

"This is the worst book I've read in quite some time. I will not read the others in this plodding nonsensical trilogy, and hope this review serves as a signpost to other potential readers to avoid this one for some better sci-fi instead. <br/><br/>Part one confuses us by introducing the reader to a character for the span of several chapters that has very little to do with the plot. Instead, the author replaces him mid-section with a typical mysterious spy character with a sketchy (in terms of "cliche explanation") background.<br/><br/>Part two leads us into the history of an injured soldier from World War II. I don't know what happened here; perhaps the author just wanted to write something related to a History Channel show he saw that day, but the main characters end up reading a diary to us through most of part two. Next time, just write a WWII book, OK? <br/><br/>Part three "ties it all together". A confusing game of who's who occurs. Time dilation. Teleportation. Nuclear bombs and genes. Also the most obedient autistic kids ever described on paper. Sounds like it could be great, perhaps if it was organized better. Instead, it's an utter mess that I regret ever having laid eyes on. <br/><br/>Of my precious little time to read, this was a complete waste. I hope you can avoid it."
