Wow! This was an absolutely fascinating book!! It had all sorts of interesting facts and a great premise about Atlantis. And it certainly had a great sense of adventure and suspense. It was like reading an action movie! Now, of course, that goes with the genre that characters were more like caricatures than people... and not every little bit of the great mystery (like what would seem like the more interesting bits) was included. For all the historical background and explanation, the book was firmly rooted in the present (well, actually the future - 2012), and little to do with the heydey of Atlantis in the past... And much like _The Swarm_ by Frank Schatzing, there were entire sections that were little more than "information dumps" but they were interesting and relevant to the story. I found the whole thing to be engrossing, but I can see how this format would not be to everyone's liking. If you can't go along for the ride, don't bother... I wouldn't recommend this to everyone I knew as just a terrific piece of literature, but it sure is exciting and I really enjoyed it and know people who will definitely be borrowing my copy!
