Reviews

If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, The Atlantis Code will take you to a new level of mystery, wonder, adventure and excitement. This book will enthrall you and at the same time connect you in a very intimate way with the mystery of your sacred existence.

—— Deepak Chopra

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.

—— Booklist Review

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.

—— Publishers Weekly

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.

—— Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of PAUL OF DUNE and author of THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

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

—— Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of THE TRAITOR

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

—— David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of THE EXPEDITER

This is an exciting and memorable read. Expertly researched, it feels authentic, but wears its learning reassuringly lightly. Anyone who appreciated Martin Amis's Koba the Dread and Orlando Figes's The Whisperers will love it

—— Viv Groskop , Observer

Very atmospheric

—— Ann Northfield , Historical Novels Review

'Bryant and May are engaging characters and I look forward to their next outing'

—— Sherlock
