Title: fast moving fun
Review: "Atlantis" reads like it was meant to be an action/adventure movie. The story moves along quickly, brushing up against occult/paranormal elements at the same time as it relies heavily on science/technology, and finishes up with an apocalytic threat. Along the way you touch on the American military in Southeast Asia, global corporate rivalries, secret US government missions, disaster rescue operations, and "whew" it's all here in one whirlwind ride! Mayer does a good job telling enough to draw you in and make the characters real. Honestly, there has to be considerable suspension of disbelief, but Mayer spins the story in a way that you never notice how much you give up. This book may not appeal to everyone, but if you are partial to action/adventure, "Atlantis" is well written and entertaining.
