Book Reviews of The Atlantis Prophecy
Book Review: Don't buy it for a second!
Summary: 1 Stars
When you read the review above and on the first few pages of the book itself - how could any thriller reader not want to read it?
"A thrill ride from start to finish."
-- Clive Cussler
"...one of those books you end up staying up way too late reading."
-- Sandra Hughes, CBS News
Turns out those blurbs refer to his first book - Raising Atlantis. Too bad I didn't realize that when I was in the store. But judging from the reviews on that one - these lines were over-hype even then.
CONCEPT SUMMARY: Conspiracy begun many years ago when the Free Masons were fighting for the survival of the country blossoms in DC for an clue-breaking astrologer and a crypotographer-nun from the vatican. They try to solve the clues to conspiracy before it's too late - while fighting an evil secret group.
Here's what I didn't like this book:
1. ALL TO FAMILIAR PREMISE AND EXECUTION: Look to the back of the book and you'll find a nice little map of Washington, D.C. - that looks VERY FAMILIAR. Read the equally horrible The Book of Fate or seen the better excuted National Treasure (Widescreen Edition) - than you know this tale. Yes, I knew the premise was familiar. But, I did hope for a fast-paced, original execution with charachters I'd enjoy.
2.LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ENGROSSING PAGE-TURNING THINKING PERSON'S THRILLER - LIKE The Da Vinci Code? YOU WON'T FIND IT HERE. If you're going to step up and copy the Da Vinci Codes pattern - you'd best do it well. Here we have "clue-breaking" experts led on a trail of discovery, ties to the vatican, ties to the free masons... and after the first scene - which also gets expectations high - it's just boring. Despite all the great blurbs - in this one I didn't care enough to even want to think of where the clues might lead.
BOTTOM LINE: Nothing original enough or interesting enough in this book to make it worth the time.
Summary of The Atlantis Prophecy
The adventure begins with a mysterious military burial at Arlington National Cemetery and a shocking legacy that has explosive implications for America's existence. Archaeologist Conrad Yeats discovers in his father's tombstone the key to a centuries-old warning built into the very design of Washington, D.C. Major monuments along the National Mall are astronomically aligned and are about to "lock" with the stars at a date foreseen by the Founding Fathers. Along with Serena Serghetti, a beautiful Vatican linguist with secrets of her own, Yeats explores the hidden world beneath the capital in a deadly race to save it. America has a date with destiny, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
