The Atlantis Papyrus by Jay Penner (© 2019) tells a vivid story of historical fiction of political intrigue and the harsh manipulation of a man and his family by people vying for power following the death of Alexander the Great.

I received a copy of The Atlantis Papyrus as part of the Library Thing Member Giveaway. I just recently finished it. As a former Classics major and lifelong fan of ancient history, this was an enjoyable read. I loved every word! It was very carefully researched and well-written. I looked forward to reading a chapter or two every night to see what was in store for the protagonists, Deon and Eurydice. I am glad that Mr. Penner is working on a sequel as I was sad to reach the end of the book!
