BURIED UNDER TWO MILES OF ICE. In Antarctica, a glacial earthquake swallows up a team of scientists...and exposes a mysterious monument older than the Earth itself. In Peru, archaeologist Dr. Conrad Yeats is apprehended by U.S. Special Forces...to unlock the final key to the origins of the human race. In Rome, the pope summons environmental activist Dr. Serena Serghetti to the Vatican...and reveals a terrifying vision of apocalyptic disaster. In space, a weather satellite reveals four massive storms forming around the South Pole...and three U.S. spy satellites disappear from orbit. These are the end times, when the legends of a lost civilization and the prophecies of the world's great religions lead a man and a woman to a shattering discovery that will change the fate of humankind. 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....… (altro)

I was trying to put my finger on what this novel reminds me of and I think I've worked it out - I think it's reminiscent of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, only instead of being set within the church itself it's set under 2 miles of ice in Antarctica in ruins that have been recently exposed in an earthquake.

That's not to say this is a rip off of the aforementioned like many novels that came out around this time were. No, rather this is a mixture of themes that come together quite well, despite the imaginative setting and thought provoking ruins which are described within one thing the book is quite light on is character development. All the characters seem to almost be cardboard cutouts with just a brief outline of their characteristics given which leaves some of them feeling almost cliched. Being an action slash adventure novel however the book itself doesn't suffer too much as a result of the shallow characters instead it rather focuses the reader's attention towards what is happening rather than who is experiencing what is happening.

I thought the setup, execution, scenery and circumstances were interesting and vividly described, especially the latter two. Whilst the theme of Atlantis isn't exactly a unique story to tell I thought this spin on the old myth was good, as such I'll likely be checking out the following 2 books in the series shortly. ( )

Voor een boek wat je wilt lokken door avontuur en mysterie is er veel te weinig avontuur en mysterie. Alles is te vanzelfsprekend voor de personages, ze zijn niet tot nauwelijks verwonderd over de dingen die gebeuren en die ze zien.
Komen ze een ruimte in van vele duizenden jaren oud. Wordt er gezegd 'this is clearly [...]'
Clearly.
Natuurlijk.
En ze hebben natuurlijk altijd gelijk. Hun eerste gok is altijd perfect. Waar ze ook zijn, wat ze ook doen; perfectie.

De onderlinge relaties vind ik ook maar slecht en oppervlakkig uitgewerkt

Het verhaal speelt zich te veel af in een rechte lijn, zonder verrassingen. De schrijver weet waar ie naartoe wilt, maar weet het niet op een leuke manier te verpakken.
De dingen... gebeurden gewoon... ik maakte er geen deel van uit, alles werd in 1 keer voor mijn neus opgelost, geen spannende tochten, geen personages waar je écht mee meeleeft.

Volgens Goodreads zou dit 2 sterren waard zijn ('it was ok'), maar 2 sterren staat bij mij voor een echt heel matig boek dus dan maar 3. ( )

Overall this book was good, not great but maintained my interest throughout. At times I found the plot unbelievable, and the characters unlikable. They knew too much and figured things out too quickly. I enjoyed the action in the story and that was why I kept reading. The ending was ok, but could have been better, it left some questions unanswered and not in a good way. ( )

Lots of plot threads still hanging at the end. But, pretty interesting threads. Will there be more discoveries about the buried city? Will there be aliens? What will the public find out? ( )
