A
mighty empire once ruled the larger part of the world. Its rulers lived in
a vast citadel, up against the sea, a great maze of corridors like nothing
seen since. They were ingenious workers in gold and ivory and
fearless bullfighters. But then, for defying Poseidon the Sea God, in one
mighty deluge the citadel was swallowed beneath the waves, its people
never to be seen again.
After Plato, Timaeus and Critias (fifth century BC)

From an extraordinary discovery in a remote desert
oasis to a desperate race against time in the ocean depths, a team of
adventurers is about to find the truth behind the most baffling legend in
history. The hunt is on for ATLANTIS.
Marine archaeologist Jack Howard has stumbled upon
the keys to an ancient puzzle. With a crack team of scientific experts and
ex-Special Forces commandos, he is heading for what he believes could be
the greatest archaeological discovery of all time – the site of fabled
Atlantis – while a ruthless adversary watches his every move and
prepares to strike.
But neither of them could have imagined what awaits
them in the murky depths. Not only a shocking truth about a lost world,
but an explosive secret that could have devastating consequences today.
Jack is determined to stop the legacy of Atlantis from falling into wrong
hands, whatever the cost. But first he must battle to prevent a global
catastrophe.

ATLANTIS.
Fact or myth? No one has ever known – until now …
One day, on a dive in the Mediterranean, marine
archaeologist Jack Howard gets lucky. Very lucky. He and his team uncover
what could be the key to the location of the lost island.
Jack is on the verge of making an astonishing
breakthrough, but someone else knows about Atlantis’s location. And Jack
and those closest to him are suddenly locked in a life or death game with
consequences that could destroy thousands of lives. For what Jack
discovers is beyond his wildest dreams – but it comes at a terrifying
price.
ATLANTIS is an unputdownable read which throws light on a story still shrouded in mystery. Part thriller, part history lesson, part adventure story, Atlantis is The Da Vinci Code for a new generation: only this time, it really could all be true …
