Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
After astro-archeologist Conrad Yeats and Vatican linguist Sister Serena Serghetti survived a disastrous Antarctic expedition in Raising Atlantis, Conrad falls on lean times: his reality TV show, Ancient Riddles, is canceled, and he buries his USAF general father at Arlington National Cemetery. Serena interprets Conrad's father's oddly sculpted tombstone to contain a cryptic message. Intrigued, Conrad investigates and discovers George Washington entrusted a treaty sealed in a celestial globe to the care of one of Conrad's ancestors—but Conrad is not the only one looking for it. And when, according to the Atlantis prophecy, the stars' align on July 4, 2008, with Washington, D.C., monuments, his sinister rivals' new world order will begin clicking into place, if they manage to get hold of the globe. Greanias keeps the pace breakneck and the coincidences amazing, sweeping readers right into Conrad's struggle. (Apr.)

Don't buy it for a second!,
By J. Lee "imajeel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Atlantis Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
When you read the review above and on the first few pages of the book itself - how could any thriller reader not want to read it?"A thrill ride from start to finish." -- Clive Cussler "...one of those books you end up staying up way too late reading." -- Sandra Hughes, CBS News Turns out those blurbs refer to his first book - Raising Atlantis. Too bad I didn't realize that when I was in the store. But judging from the reviews on that one - these lines were over-hype even then. CONCEPT SUMMARY: Conspiracy begun many years ago when the Free Masons were fighting for the survival of the country blossoms in DC for an clue-breaking astrologer and a crypotographer-nun from the vatican. They try to solve the clues to conspiracy before it's too late - while fighting an evil secret group. Here's what I didn't like this book: 1. ALL TO FAMILIAR PREMISE AND EXECUTION: Look to the back of the book and you'll find a nice little map of Washington, D.C. - that looks VERY FAMILIAR. Read the equally horrible The Book of Fate or seen the better excuted National Treasure (Widescreen Edition) - than you know this tale. Yes, I knew the premise was familiar. But, I did hope for a fast-paced, original execution with charachters I'd enjoy. 2.LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ENGROSSING PAGE-TURNING THINKING PERSON'S THRILLER - LIKE The Da Vinci Code? YOU WON'T FIND IT HERE. If you're going to step up and copy the Da Vinci Codes pattern - you'd best do it well. Here we have "clue-breaking" experts led on a trail of discovery, ties to the vatican, ties to the free masons... and after the first scene - which also gets expectations high - it's just boring. Despite all the great blurbs - in this one I didn't care enough to even want to think of where the clues might lead. BOTTOM LINE: Nothing original enough or interesting enough in this book to make it worth the time. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Much to improve upon...,
By Robert Goodman "HandyThinker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Atlantis Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
Although there are several good thematic points made throughout this story, the character development is poor. Plot development is frenetic and incomplete. Sometimes incompleteness is a technique for driving the story, but not so here....too many loose ends and inconsistencies. The author's vanity plays out on the canvas of this "less-than-beach-trash"-quality story and it is found wanting.That being said, Mr. Greaniasi is imaginative, but needs much more experience in cultivating the writer's art. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Better Than The First One,
By Fred Rayworth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Atlantis Prophecy (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was such a pleasure to read after slogging through The Ruins, I'm almost biased a little toward a better review than if I'd read this one after a different book. Still, it had me glued to my chair.In the first one, I liked his Antarctica story and though the hero, Yates, was a little whiny, it wasn't enough to sway me from reading this sequel. Though there are a few plot holes and some gaps in logic and sequence, I don't care. I had such fun reading it that that stuff didn't matter. Besides, it is well written, follows the current rules of writing, and the editing is almost top notch (found at least one typo but can't remember where). Some are complaining because it's a mix of DaVinci Code and National Treasure. So what? Is it any different from all the murder mysteries out there? Geez! How many ways can you kill someone? It's the story itself and the characters that make or break it. Is this book realistic? Heck no! Could it happen? Doubt it. Does it matter to me? No. It was a fun ride and left me wanting more. Just one note. I'll be pissed if he doesn't finally get the girl in the third book! If you want a good fast paced read, I highly recommend this one. |
