The Atlantis Code

A Novel

By: Charles Brokaw

Narrated by: Erik Davies

A thrill-seeking Harvard linguistics professor and an ultrasecret branch of the Catholic Church go head-to-head in a race to uncover the secrets of the lost city of Atlantis. The ruins of the technologically advanced, eerily enigmatic ancient civilization promise their discoverer fame, fortune, and power...but hold earth-shattering secrets about the origin of man.

While world-famous linguist and archaeologist, Thomas Lourds, is shooting a film that dramatizes his flamboyant life and scientific achievements, satellites spot impossibly ancient ruins along the Spanish coast. Lourds knows exactly what it means: the Lost Continent of Atlantis has been found. The race is on, and Lourds' challengers will do anything to get there first.

Whoever controls the Lost Continent will control the world.

The Atlantis premise is ver intriguing

The narrator. Too many different characters with too many different accents for one reading. At times it was really awkward.

Reader tries, but more times than not, fails.

I appreciate that the reader attempted to inject some life into the reading by using different voices for characters, but it just doesnt hit, and makes it hard to listen to sometimes. He often comes off more robotic than I imagine he would like, and his accents are...interesting.

Compelling Plot and Engaging. But misogynistic.

The action, mystery, plot, and intrigue kept my attention. The many, many misogynistic comments were annoying to say the least, and, the main character was incredibly unlikable as a result.

The narrator has a great voice, but his accents are horrible.

awesome story

very intriguing! love conspiracy & history mixed. Great story mixing church, archeology, and myth together

Fun but slow-paced

I really enjoyed the story of this book… feels equal parts DaVinci Code and Indiana Jones. The story drags a little through the middle and I think it’s could have been paced a little better but it was still fun. The characters were mostly well written, though by the midpoint, Leslie becomes insufferable… she acts petty and immature regarding Lourdes, often blaming him for something he had no control over, then gets hurt because he’s not available to meet her physical needs. Then she held a stupid grudge in the midst of a life-or-death situation… she is not a likable character, and maybe that is what the author was going for but I had no reason to root for her.
