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!

 

Tome Thursday: Pyramid

Hello everyone!

So last week, if anyone remembers or if anyone read, I talked about David Gibbins and his underwater archaeology books. In a very brief summary of what I wrote then, basically, this is about a team gathered around Jack Howard, who globe-hop a lot and discover strange things left behind by our ancestors, whether this is Atlantis or a meteorite-fashioned swastika, it doesn't matter. Jack is joined in his endeavours by a lot of prominent members, notably Costas Kazantzakis, Maurice Hiebermeyer and his wife Aysha, his daughter Rebecca, and various females ranging from Spaniard Maria to Russian Katya.

Whew, that really was brief. Anyone else already feeling winded?

Anyway, last week, I talked all about the seventh book in the Jack Howard series, titled 'Pharaoh', and dealing with the hunt for Akhenaten, one of those Egyptian guys we really don't know that much about, and what we DO know is now being turned upside down by new discoveries.

History never sleeps, ladies and gentlemen.
