What A.G. Riddle's debut, self published novel lacks in polish, it make up for with plot, intrigue, and hook.

Reminded me of The DaVinci Code but is better written and a more complex plot line. The DaVinci Code is the worst book I ever read and I regret the time I wasted reading it but The Atlantis Gene isn’t in that category. It’s fast-paced, has one toxic sex scene (where the woman is coerced rather than consenting) and traverses the world. It’s the first of a trilogy but not sure I’ll bother reading the 2nd and 3rd books.
