Product Description
An ancient organization more powerful than the federal government has targeted Washington. They'll stop at nothing to destroy the republic and raise an empire.
The adventure begins with a mysterious military burial at Arlington National Cemetery and a shocking legacy that has explosive implications for America's existence. Archaeologist Conrad Yeats discovers in his father's tombstone the key to a centuries-old warning built into the very design of Washington, D.C. Major monuments along the National Mall are astronomically aligned and are about to "lock" with the stars at a date foreseen by the Founding Fathers. Along with Serena Serghetti, a gorgeous Vatican linguist with secrets of her own, Yeats explores the hidden world beneath the capital in a deadly race to save it. America has a date with destiny, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Reader Reviews
I just finished reading Atlantis Prophecy, which came out just last week. I found it easy to read, fast paced and, as is always nice to find in book 2 of a series, better than the first. Aside from quality there is one other vast difference between Raising Atlantis and Atlantis Prophecy. While the first book took you to the edge of the world and immersed you in an other worldly ancient, yet advance Atlantis city discovered in Antarctica, this one takes place in, around and beneath Washington D.C. and involves more conspiracy theories than you can shake a stick at. I can't begin to imagine the amount of research that went into this and its written in such a way that I couldn't tell what's truth and what's fiction. I do have a few minor complaints. The first of which has nothing to do with the author. When I reached chapter 9, the book literally started falling apart. Throughout, I think I have maybe sixteen pages falling out...and I'm gentle with my books. I'm not a spine killer. This is the first book I've had physically fall apart that wasn't printed and bound over one hundred years ago. But, like I said, that has nothing to do with the author...though I found catching pages and reinserting them quite annoying. My other complaints are: The relationship between Conrad and the Serena irked me a little. She's a hot nun, perhaps a fantasy for some men, but beyond that, she did little in this novel that I found worth Conrad's attention. They have history from book one, of course, but I don't remember it well enough for me to not think, "ditch her Conrad!" Not a big deal, but I felt they could have had more of a reason to be pining over each other...especially in her direction. But I think my biggest complaint, which could also be a compliment I suppose, is that the novel, at times, read like a novelization of National Treasure, though better than the second movie. If we change Conrad's name from Yeates to Gates we would have been all set. This fades as the novel progresses, but starting out I had to work at ignoring the similarities between the two. The book isn't a blatent rip-off of either movie, mind you. It's just similar enough that I had to try not to picture Nick Cage as Conrad. Minor stuff, though. A final note of appreciation. I very much enjoyed how Greanias worked in issues of faith, having no fear of mentioning God and Jesus is positive ways rather than negatively, which has become so common in the genre. 4.5 over all. Can't wait for book 3! -- Jeremy Robinson, author of Antarktos Rising - A Novel, The Didymus Contingency: A Time Travel Thriller and Raising The Past
