But their investigation uncovers something shocking that threatens the very existence of humanity and together, they are thrust into a deadly race against the apocalypse. “Raising Atlantis grabs hold of you from the first page and pulls you into an astonishing world of scientific fact and fiction, suspense, and good old-fashioned adventure” (Nelson DeMille, New York Times bestselling author).

A romp riddled with errors
While this is a good action, slam-bang roller coaster sic-fi fantasy ride, it is so riddled with technical errors on military gear, historic figures and common sense that it gives this reader pause to wonder why the writer emphasized it was technically correct at the start of the book.
Examples: Admiral Mahan is mentioned as a Revolutionary War era admiral which he was not; the AK-47 is derided as a piece of junk; and any "sailor" at sea would lash themselves down with a length of rope, not a heavy chain in the face of a tidal wave.
Luckily for less well informed readers you can skip over those logic errors and some ham-handed over the top melodramatic scenes and enjoy the ride.
