Editorial reviews

Editors Select, March 2014 - I recognized The Atlantis Gene from the Kindle bestsellers list, and was delighted to learn that it was coming to audio. A.G. Riddle has written a thrilling and unusual story about the history of human origins, which seamlessly blends in Nazis, aliens, religion, autism, evolution, and Atlantis. I found this to be incredibly accessible, exciting, and original listen – A.G. Riddle is definitely an author to try if you like Dan Brown or Michael Crichton. Narrator Stephen bel Davies helped ensured I was hooked right away, and can’t wait to sink my teeth into the next book in the The Origin Mystery series. —Sarah, Audible Editor

Publisher's summary

The greatest mystery of all time...the history of human origins...will be revealed.

Seventy thousand years ago, the human race almost went extinct. We survived, but no one knows how.

Until now.

The countdown to the next stage of human evolution is about to begin, and humanity might not survive this time.

The Immari are good at keeping secrets. For 2,000 years, they've hidden the truth about human evolution. They've also searched for an ancient enemy - a threat that could wipe out the human race. Now the search is over.

Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep in an iceberg. It has been there for thousands of years, and something is guarding it. As the Immari rush to execute their plan, a brilliant geneticist makes a discovery that could change everything.

Dr. Kate Warner moved to Jakarta, Indonesia to escape her past. She hasn't recovered from what happened to her, but she has made an incredible breakthrough: a cure for autism. Or so she thinks. What she has found is far more dangerous - for her and the entire human race. Her work could be the key to the next stage of human evolution. In the hands of the Immari, it would mean the end of humanity as we know it.

Agent David Vale has spent 10 years trying to stop the Immari. Now he's out of time. His informant is dead. His organization has been infiltrated. His enemy is hunting him. But when David receives a coded message related to the Immari attack, he risks everything to save the one person that can help him solve it: Dr. Kate Warner.

Together, Kate and David must race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about the Atlantis Gene...and human origins. Their journey takes them to the far corners of the globe and into the secrets of their pasts. The Immari are close on their heels and will stop at nothing to obtain Kate's research and force the next stage of human evolution - even if it means killing 99.9% of the world's population. David and Kate can stop them...if they can trust each other. And stay alive.

Homo sapiens kill and kill some more.

It's an action movie script, but much more complicated. The great leap forward is an interesting subject, there is that in its favor.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this one! Multiple fantastic twists that I wasn’t expecting. Really creative story line, I anticipated something completely different but it did not disappoint. A.G. Riddle really did a great job of tying the book together even though there were multiple avenues created. I hope Riddle unveils more to us in the next one. I can’t wait to start the Atlantis Plague.

A must read/listen!

This series is by far one of my favorites, and I don't find myself reading this genre often. I promise you will probably not be disappointed.

not great

What did you like best about The Atlantis Gene? What did you like least?

The characters are not developed well and new people just pop up, at times the story line does not fit together, and the movement from past to present is at times difficult.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Ok, I did listen to book 2.

Maybe I'm bored due to the narrator. Moving on....

I'm not going to finish this book. This narrator is so boring, and the editing is poor, too. I just stated this book. I can't take the boredom already...
I'm goin for a refund and will move on to another book. Sorry. I may never know how great an author Riddle is... I can't get through the first 10 chapters listening to this narrator... I can't imagine getting through this book.

Intriguing premise

Intriguing and believable premise, especially in 2021 where people who believe in depopulating the earth have a financial stake in the current pandemic.

Struggled and then gave up

Struggled and then gave update. I tried to get into it, but, in the end, I couldn't keep myself in it. It is redundant in some places and disjointed in others. Good luck!
