Review of The Atlantis Cure
Pierce Roberts' novel, The Atlantis Cure, unfolds as a high-octane thriller where a diverse group of investigators collaborates to uncover age-old secrets, aiming to thwart the ambitions of malevolent individuals seeking global domination. Amid rising pandemic casualties, nations are splintering, giving rise to a sinister era of control by nefarious forces. The success of the Asian-American Economic Treaty has been remarkable, with Canada, Mexico, and the European Union also becoming signatories. The world narrowly escaped a near-extinction event as the pandemic subsided, leading to the emergence of a more resilient, disease-free population. Humanity, on the brink of annihilation, defied the odds thanks to an ancient inscription on an alabaster stone and a ring adorned with gold and emeralds, revealing that the birth rates of nations surged when people established new settlements.
One of the aspects of this book that captures my attention the most is the main characters: Rotar, the supreme commander of Atlantis, Walho, and Sophia. They all hail from diverse backgrounds and have different objectives as they become entangled in this action-packed narrative. Yet intriguing connections bind them together. The storyline of the book masterfully explores facets of humanity, deceit, and malevolence.
If you're seeking a sci-fi action story with elements of genetic engineering, this book is tailor-made for you. The narrative commences with a group of ancient explorers embarking on a mission to fulfil a divine decree to propagate their lineage and establish a new world. Among them are Rotar, who grapples with blindness and a severe respiratory ailment, and Harrison John O'Connor, an Irish fugitive who fled the Emerald Isle during the Great Potato Famine in the 1840s. I also appreciate the dramatic downfall of Kim the Destroyer.
The reason I do not dislike this book is its engaging, intricate plot with memorable moments and well-developed characters. The suspenseful narrative, unique themes, and skilful writing ensure it's a page-turner that keeps me invested from start to finish. I recommend this book to science fiction and action enthusiasts who appreciate well-developed characters, clean storytelling, and thought-provoking themes. It offers a wide-ranging appeal for those seeking an engaging and unique reading experience.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because it provides an exceptional reading experience with its engaging and well-crafted narrative, intriguing characters, suspenseful storytelling, unique themes, and commendable absence of explicit content. It surpasses all expectations and offers a truly outstanding literary journey. This book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
