A thrill-seeking Harvard linguistics professor and an ultrasecret branch of the Catholic Church go head-to-head in a race to uncover the secrets of the lost city of Atlantis. The ruins of the technologically-advanced, eerily-enigmatic ancient civilization promise their discoverer fame, fortune, and power… but hold earth-shattering secrets about the origin of man. While world-famous linguist and … linguist and archaeologist, Thomas Lourds, is shooting a film that dramatizes his flamboyant life and scientific achievements, satellites spot impossibly ancient ruins along the Spanish coast. Lourds knows exactly what it means: the Lost Continent of Atlantis has been found. The race is on, and Lourds’ challengers will do anything to get there first.
Whoever controls the Lost Continent will control the world.

This is the kind of story that serves as not only great escape reading, but transports the reader into living through exciting and mind-bending adventures. Well written and compelling.
The topic was Atlantis is one that fascinates all of us and its possible connection to the Vatican was a new wrinkle for me. A little slow in places but overall entertaining.
I was not sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I knew how it had to end, but it surely was a quite a ride to get there. Interesting characters and plot line.
The action never stops. Totally unbelievable, but a whopping good adventure story! Suspend reality and dive in. You won’t be sorry. I enjoyed the book so much, I bought all the others in the series.
Loved it, excellent work. Looking into more from the author
Really enjoyed it. Had to get to the ending.
3 stars to Charles Brokaw’s novel, The Atlantis Code. I was flying to LA for a work trip, leaving from my office in NYC, and realized I forgot to bring a book before I left home. At the airport, I checked a few novels out at the bookshop and stumbled across this one.
I love treasure hunter stories. I am fascinated by the connections authors find between history, religion and missing things. This time, it’s the lost continent and treasures of Atlantis. I had read another book with a similar theme and wanted to see how they compared. Bought it and boarded the plane shortly afterwards.
I think I read about half on the flight out and finished it on the way home. Was a short 2 day trip and I couldn’t read for all 6 hours on the plane… had some work to do, too.
All in all, I liked the book. Lots of great connections. Strong character. Great suspense. Lots of suspicious behavior.
It was your typical novel of this genre. Nothing bad, nothing fantastic. Just a basic good read. And that’s a good thing… just cause it’s not a 5 or 4 doesn’t mean it’s not worth the read. You just need to be the right audience. There are a lot of books out there on this topic and in this genre. If you like Atlantis, read it. You’ll have a great time. If you don’t, maybe pick something else.
It’s very dark when it comes to the religious aspects. I liked it for that reason, but it does get overplayed a lot. Villains come in all shapes and sizes. I’d like to see something new in another book like this.
Very much like Dan Brown’s work. Really enjoyed reading and had me completely in the action. I read whole series and need recommendations for others similar
Good story, but followed the Clive Cussler formula. The main character could use a little more likeability factor. That being said, I enjoyed it well enough to read the other books in the series.
If you liked Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, you will like this book. An extreme faction within the Vatican trying to find relics lost with the destruction of Atlantis so that they can take over the world …
this book was extremely graphic gory from the first page. I was sorry I purchased this book and would not recommend it to anyone.
Very boring and I did not finish it.,
Really fun read! Some of the characters were a bit stereo-typical, but honestly it just kind of added to the fun in a ‘James Bond Excess’ way. This was a very fun romp thru many countries and places and I loved the switch up on the traditional biblical / historical stories we all know, this took it in a very unique direction. Great travel book as you don’t need to be deep into it to enjoy the story.
Interesting interplay..church and archeology
If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code, you’ll love this.
Dan Brown cliff notes.
Fans of Dan Brown, Clive Clusser and James Rollins will love this. Excellent storyline and characters.
Chaotic. The linguistic capabilities of the protagonist are unrealistic, and the characters pretty much cut-outs. It deserved better copy editing. That said, it was an exciting story that held the readers attention.
It was a fun read. The editing left a lot to be desired. Many, many errors.
Great book will get the next in his series
