Raising Atlantis

By: Thomas Greanias

Narrated by: Scott Brick

The truth is down there. A secret U.S. military dig has uncovered ancient ruins two miles beneath the ice of Antarctica and activated the ultimate weapon. Now rogue American archaeologist Conrad Yeats and beautiful Vatican linguist Serena Serghetti must team up to unlock the secret origins of human civilization before a global cataclysm ends it.

Thomas Greanias builds excitement and suspense every step of the way in this daringly original, thought-provoking adventure that moves with electrifying force. This is the ultimate voyage, a journey to the center of time, as awe-inspiring as the dawn of man...and as inevitable as doomsday. This is Raising Atlantis.

Critic reviews

"Raising Atlantis is a wonderfully honed cliffhanger, an outrageous adventure with a wild dose of the supernatural. A thrill ride from start to finish." (Clive Cussler)
"A gripping page-turner....I think it's a lot like The DaVinci Code, but I like the ending on this one better." (CBS News)
"A remarkable first novel. 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. Thomas Greanias is a superb writer who knows how to tell a tale with style and substance. Thoroughly entertaining." (Nelson DeMille)
"It's not hard to see why this techno-thriller has already been such a success: a gripping plot about the discovery of an island believed to be Atlantis, not in the Aegean but buried under the ice of the South Pole; some colorful characters, including a father-and-son team of archeologists; and some clean, no-nonsense writing that adds to the reading speed and suspense." (Chicago Tribune)

Action packed and interesting plot. I will read the next book in the series.

I enjoyed this book. The story was interesting and I’m curious where the author will take it in the sequel. There was plenty of action throughout. There were some factual glitches, such as the rappelling sequences. They would have needed a donkey to carry all the rope required for all their long climbs and rappelling. Also a radio call sign: “six-nine- sixer,” which I think should’ve been “six-niner -six.” Scott Brick is my favorite narrator, but I found it irritating for him to end chapters by quickly speaking the next chapter number immediately after the last word of the previous sentence. (That could have been edited in at a later time.) I look forward to the sequel!

Very Entertaining

This was an amazing book. If you?re into ancient civilizations, celestial mysteries and modern technology that doesn?t match up to mysterious nature of the pyramids you will love this book. Shrouded by the US trying to keep a secret discovery found miles beneath ice under wraps things get dicey when other countries fear a ?secret nuclear test site? of the Americans. This book is an interesting read for Atlantis enthusiasts.

Love His Ideas

I have enjoyed both of these works. I read extensively and believe the author will do well with everything he writes. the story line is weel planned. The plot is interesting. The ideas are genious. I look forward to reading anything Thomas writes.

Riveting!!

I've loved reading Ludlum's books in the past, and IMHO, Thomas Greanias' book Raising Atlantis surpasses all of them. I also think that the quality of the reading of Raising Atlantis should put this Audible book at, or close to number one.

Great read

There's a lot of good buzz about Greanias -- and for good reason. Raising Atlantis is a great read. Enjoy.

Steve

Some of the reviews are too harsh. For this kind of adventure novel it was quite interesting. In fact I quite enjoyed it. It is obviously setup for a sequel. There is still a great mystery to solve.

a wild ride of a journey

action thriller where you get moved up down sideways excetera. Possible next box office thriller movie

Dan Brown x Mythical Sci-Fy = fun listen

If you want to have an easy listening experience with a fun, fast and engaging story, based on mythical stories, this is it. The comparison with Dan Brown has been made before and it is a correct one. My only concern is the production where the chapters ends and starts abruptly. But that is not Thomas Greanias’ fault.

Goes on and on and on

A good yar filled with bits and pieces of other good yarns a dabbling of current events, some religion for those who need some nd unfortunately, once again, the salvation of the world is dependent on superstition and judeo/christian dogma. The hero takes a 20 foot leap to a stone floor with no damage to his ankles, the heroine falls 30+ from a helicopter and is unharmed all in all a bit "over-the-top".

Your never quite sure if science or reason has any place in the tale and by the time you've decided, none, it gets even more bizarre with the never-ending end that seems to go on and on and on.

3 stars is the best I could do for this audiobook and those only because the "graphics" or visuals created by the story are truly wonderful. I'm a sucker for special effects.

Decent little adventure

This was decent for an adventure/action book. Think Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code and you're getting the general idea. I enjoyed the narration, aside from the attempt at the female austrailian accent, the rest was quite good. I would recommend this book to anyone who was looking for a relatively exciting read with the author delving a bit into the backgrounds of the heroes without overdoing it. In my opinion, worth the price for a listen.
