The Atlantis Code

World-famous linguist and archaeologist Thomas Lourds is shooting a documentary that dramatizes his flamboyant life and scientific achievements. When satellites spot impossibly ancient ruins along the Spanish coast, he knows exactly what it means: the Lost Continent of Atlantis has been found.

The technologically advanced, eerily enigmatic civilization, now buried by rock and sea, offers fame, fortune, and even a Nobel Prize. The race is on, and Lourds’s challengers will do anything to get there first.

One such challenger is a brutal branch of a violent Catholic cult. At its highest levels, the Elders know that the secrets of the Lost Continent threaten to destroy the Church’s purpose, foundation, and message for all time to come.

“Short, gripping chapters move the action from Egypt to Russia to Africa to London. Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code. Look out, Dan Brown, Brokaw can play this game a lot better than most of your imitators.” ―Booklist

“In the 19th century, the equivalent of a blockbuster movie was a tense, thrilling novel, often told in serial form. We tend to forget that the modern novel need not be anything more significant than excellent entertainment, which is the perfect description of Charles Brokaw's The Atlantis Code. …A rollicking adventure, with nonstop action and suspense. Readers can only hope that Brokaw is prepared to send Professor Lourds on further quests.” ―Publishers Weekly

“If you enjoyed the Da Vinci Code, The Atlantis Code will take you to a new level of mystery, wonder, adventure and excitement. This book will enthrall you and at the same time connect you in a very intimate way with the mystery of your sacred existence.” ―Deepak Chopra
