Why read it?

2 authors picked The Atlantis Gene as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book blindsided me with its explosive blend of ancient mysteries and cutting-edge science. I was captivated by how Riddle wove together seemingly disparate elements—a structure in Antarctica, autism research in Jakarta—into a thrilling quest that challenges everything I thought I knew about human origins.

The ethical implications of these discoveries drove me to research and question long-held beliefs. This thriller didn’t just keep me up all night reading; it left me eager for the sequel.

I both read and listened to this book! The first of three in the series with a “mere” 54,000 reviews, almost all wildly in favor of it. I found it a little long but noticed that I didn’t put it down. A couple of years later, I got an audio and listened again while on vacation in Mexico, so much so that my wife still hasn’t forgiven me.
