The Atlantis Code will take you to a new level of mystery, wonder, adventure and excitement

Short, gripping chapters move the action from Egypt to Russia to Africa to London. Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code. Look out, Dan Brown, Brokaw can play this game a lot better than most of your imitators

In the 19th century, the equivalent of a blockbuster movie was a tense, thrilling novel, often told in serial form. We tend to forget that the modern novel need not be anything more significant than excellent entertainment, which is the perfect description of Charles Brokaw's The Atlantis Code . . . A rollicking adventure, with nonstop action and suspense. Readers can only hope that Brokaw is prepared to send Professor Lourds on further quests

A winning combination of all the ingredients an adventure addict could want: great action, intrepid archeologists, dark conspiracies, cliffhangers, and a real sense of wonder

Brokaw's hero is Indiana Jones without the whip. Who knew archeology could be so exciting? Wonderful entertainment.

Storytelling doesn't get much better than this. I've set this one aside to read again!

It's not often you pick up a book where the plot is technically perfect, where the characters all come off the page perfectly formed and the writing is so good that it's impossible to spot an unnecessary word, but which still managed to be a damn good story. I was still reading at 2 o'clock this morning...

Psychologically acute and extremely disturbing, Ruth Rendell's work is outstanding.

...his handling of the psychoanalysis and criminal pathology are fantastic . . . a romping tale

The writing is lean and mean, and the climax will blow you away

Compelling

There is no doubt that Crime is a page-turner
