Tome Thursday: Atlantis

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things with these blog posts and decided to pick a really, really good book for the first returning book blog after my summer vacation.

 

If you've been paying attention to this blog, you'll know I've definitely included works by this author in th past.

 

However, I've never ACTUALLY sat down and focused solely on the series he has going with his characters, which by now spans ten full books (and I have yet to read the last one, because for some reason I haven't gotten to it yet).

 

Anyway, I stumbled on said author rather randomly, I will admit, but since then have become a massive fan and I need to get physical copies of his books eventually.

 

For the time being, suffice to say that this is going to be a really good starting point for the rest of them, including the two I'd already done in the past.

 

Because it's all about history - I'm into history these days - and potentially alternative history too.

 

Brace yourselves, everyone. Atlantis is calling!

 

Atlantis (Booktober)

 

"It could be that the legacy of Atlantis was a truly global phenomenon."

 

 

Possibly one of my favourite series starters of all time, David Gibbins' Atlantis takes us deep into underwater territory somewhere in the Black Sea to answer questions humanity has been asking since first reading about the elusive Atlantis to begin with. Who were these progressive humanoids who angered the gods so much that their entire civilization was destroyed without mercy? Did any of them survive? And can we actually trace their path, and their origin, at this moment in time? The question of Atlantis will never get old, and burns even brighter in this book which launches underwater archeologist Jack Howard into literary orbit.

 

 

 

 

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. Because 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 find of all time——the site of fabled Atlantis——while a ruthless adversary watches his every move and prepares to strike.
