The Atlantis Revelation is the end cap of the Conrad Yeats/Atlantis trilogy, sadly however it's really not that good which is a considerable let down considering that the prior book Atlantis Prophecy seemed to have improved the shortcomings of Raising Atlantis.

Whilst we do get some more exposure of Wanda of Atlantis Prophecy it's rather brief and more of a side note which is disappointing as it seemed like there was more her character could have added to the atmosphere. The whole plot itself though, other than involving the globes found in Prophecy seems almost like a side note to the events in the first 2 books. The mysterious Alignment seem to have gone from wanting to rule the world to a bit of war profiteering and an overly complicated Bond-esque villain plans.

The flow of the novel also seems a little disjointed at times with some rather abrupt transitions between chapters. It's almost as if Greanias had run out of steam but had committed to a three book deal with his publisher so had no choice but to squeeze out this average piece of literature - now that's not to say it's terrible, if you look at it on it's own it's got quite a bit of action and adventure which could keep your attention on a long trip yet compared to the earlier 2 books it pales in comparison. Which is sad considering the directions the trilogy could have gone, but didn't. ( )

I feel that the author never quite took the reader to the next level for me to consider the book at the top of my list of thriller reads. Something always appeared to be lacking in the substance of the material presented. ( )

I found this book so hackneyed and cliched that I didn't bother finishing it. It might have been better had I read the previous books, but this was one book where my impulse pick-up from the staff choices section of my library did me wrong. ( )

The Atlantis Revelation caps a very entertaining trilogy

I was already a fan of Thomas' previous two books, 'Raising Atlantis' & 'The Atlantis Prophecy' - both of those were rollicking fun, totally entertaining, and a great way to escape on intriguing adventures for a few reading hours. I am happy to say that 'The Atlantis Revelation' is a worthy successor in the Atlantis trilogy. It is smart, well-researched, has loads of action, and presents fascinating concepts that kept me interested the whole way through. It takes the reader on a whirlwind journey to interesting places - from Corfu & the Calypso Deep to Azerbaijan to Rhodes to Jerusalem and more.

Mr. Greanias is a talented thriller author who never disappoints. His characters are well-fleshed out & jump off the page with life. His storytelling skills are solid. I have read thrillers and adventure novels where authors got so engrossed in the details of place and technology that they let the story drop, drag, and sometimes nearly evaporate. A thriller needs to be fast-paced with enough detail to make the setting come alive for the reader, but always keeping the story strong and at the forefront of the reader's attention. Thomas strikes that balance perfectly. You can rest assured when you pick up any of the books in the Atlantis trilogy that you will be turning pages super fast.

Great entertainment, highly recommended!

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two books by this author. I think this is a trilogy as the three books carry on a story line with the same main characters from one to the next. So, it's a good idea to read them in order. I do like this author and will be waiting for his next book. ( )
