Any author that has to refer to events from their previous five novels in a series within the first two chapters is either really insecure or just plain arrogant. Also worthy to note is that the only recommendations listed on the front and back cover come from the Mirror

Either way I'm up to page 159 and I'm really surprised that I've lasted this long. Characters are two dimensional reflections of every other character, except they've got different specialities. No individualization. BORING!!!

Frankly, the only goal I have for this book is to make certain it gets thrown into the recycling bin downstairs, hopefully never to be seen again ( )

The cover of this book said it would be a combination of Clive Cussler and Indiana Jones. I like Cussler and Indiana, so I was sure I would like this. The premise sounded good, but the actual execution of the novel was terrible. It must be the author's style. There is no characterization. Sure, the characters walk and talk (a lot), but you don't get a feel for what they look like. Most of the text was devoted to long text blocks of characters talking. This got boring really fast. Part 2 of the book was set in 1945, and was much more palatable than the rest of the book. Overall, I would not recommend this to anyone looking for something similar to Cussler. I don't think I will read anymore books by this author. I don't like the feeling that I'm being lectured by a character every time he speaks. ( )

Μετά την επιτυχία του βιβλίου «Ατλαντίς», ο David Gibbins επανέρχεται με το νέο του βιβλίο «Οι θεοί της Ατλαντίδας» για να δώσει συνέχεια στο πέπλο της Ατλαντίδας, που αιώνες τώρα κινείται ανάμεσα στην ιστορία και τον μύθο.

Στο συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο, η ιστορία ξεκινάει από τους αρχιερείς της Ατλαντίδας που, μετά την καταστροφή του νησιού τους, αναζητούν νέους χώρους για να εγκατασταθούν και να κρύψουν τους θησαυρούς τους. Χιλιάδες χρόνια αργότερα, οι Ναζί, με πρωτεργάτη τον Χάινριχ Χίμλερ, δεύτερο τη τάξει ισχυρότερο άνθρωπο στη ναζιστική Γερμανία, θα αναζητήσουν αυτούς τους θησαυρούς και θα φροντίσουν με κάθε μέσο να τους διατηρήσουν στην κατοχή τους, αλλά και να ανακαλύψουν τη μεγάλη δύναμη που κρύβουν.

Ερχόμενοι στο σήμερα, βρίσκουμε τον αρχαιολόγο Τζακ Χάουαρντ κάπου στη Μαύρη Θάλασσα, να ανακαλύπτει αρχαία σύμβολα στην υποθαλάσσια περιοχή. Διακινδυνεύοντας την ίδια του τη ζωή ο Τζακ Χάουαρντ θα συλλέξει υλικό που δεν έχει δει ποτέ κανείς και που δίνει μια νέα εικόνα για τους ιερείς που είχαν εγκαταλείψει το νησί της Ατλαντίδας. Ο ήρωας, προσπαθώντας να διαλευκάνει ένα μυστήριο που παραμένει κρυφό για αιώνες, θα βρεθεί στο στόχαστρο μιας τρομοκρατικής οργάνωσης και ενός υψηλόβαθμου στελέχους της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Και τότε ο Τζακ θα πρέπει να κινηθεί γρήγορα, ώστε τα μυστικά της Ατλαντίδας να μην πέσουν στα χέρια των κακοποιών.

Το βιβλίο του David Gibbins, είναι χωρισμένο σε τρεις χρονικές περιόδους, μετά την καταστροφή της Ατλαντίδας, κατά τη διάρκεια του Β’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου και το παρόν, δίνοντας έμφαση περισσότερο στο τρίτο μέρος που αφορά τη σύγχρονη ιστορία και εξέλιξη της υπόθεσης. Το κείμενο είναι γραμμένο σε τριτοπρόσωπη αφήγηση και με ισορροπημένο τρόπο, ενώ οι διάλογοι είναι τοποθετημένοι έντεχνα, ώστε να προωθούν την πλοκή. Επίσης η λεπτομερής περιγραφή των καταδύσεων για αρχαιολογικούς σκοπούς, κάτι που ο συγγραφέας γνωρίζει πολύ καλά καθ’ ότι και ο ίδιος θεωρείται αυθεντία στην εξερεύνηση ναυαγίων και υποθαλάσσιων πολιτισμών, μειώνει τη ροή της αφήγησης στο συγκεκριμένο σημείο του βιβλίου. Σημαντικές και θετικές είναι οι ιστορικές αναφορές που σε μεγάλο βαθμό αποτελούνται από πραγματικά γεγονότα και στοιχεία, επενδυμένα βέβαια με μυθοπλαστικά σημεία.

Το βιβλίο του David Gibbins «Οι θεοί της Ατλαντίδας» είναι ένα εξαιρετικό μυθιστόρημα, το οποίο ο αναγνώστης θα διαβάσει με αμείωτο ενδιαφέρον, τόσο για τα ιστορικά στοιχεία, όσο και για την περιπετειώδη υφή του.

This was a very well written, fun adventure book wrapped round past historical events. For this type of book I thoroughly enjoyed it and woud recommend it. reminded be of a Dan Brown type adventure. ( )
  KarenHerndon | Oct 26, 2012 |
I gave up on this book after getting little further than halfway. It started very well, interesting, with a lot of things going on, but then the story dwindled down to lengthy conversations with lots of details about the lives of all characters. Also enormous amounts of information and background on mythology, archaeology and other historical facts are touched in the book. For a long time I forced myself to read on – after all, this could not last. Unfortunately it did.

If you like in-depth details about the topics I mentioned here, this is the book for you. If you like a book where something happens, you might reconsider.
