More About the Author

Thomas Greanias is the founder of The Atlantis Mapping Project and is the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels: RAISING ATLANTIS, THE ATLANTIS PROPHECY, THE ATLANTIS REVELATION, THE WAR CLOUD, THE PROMISED WAR, THE 34TH DEGREE and, coming soon, DOMINUS DEI.

The pioneer in eBook adventure, Thomas Greanias was the first major novelist to break out on the Web with RAISING ATLANTIS, a No. 1 bestselling eBook on Amazon and audiobook on Audible and iTunes. His sequels and subsequent novels in print have landed him on the New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists, and his books have been translated into a dozen languages and sold in 75 countries.

His writing has won the raves of critics and his peers, leading No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor to declare that "Thomas Greanias is the king of high-octane adventure."

THE ATLANTIS MAPPING PROJECT

If you are looking for Atlantis underwater, look everywhere else in books, movies and TV. But don't look to the seminal Atlantis novels of Thomas Greanias. Acknowledged as the only true evolution of the Atlantis mythology in more than 2,500 years, the blockbuster series leaps from a lost continent in RAISING ATLANTIS to a centuries-old global conspiracy in THE ATLANTIS PROPHECY and beyond in the ongoing adventures of The Atlantis Mapping Project.

Astro-archaeologist Conrad Yeats is no Indiana Jones. He doesn't care if an artifact belongs in a museum or not. The post-modern adventurer believes it's the information that an artifact or ancient monument reveals about its builders that is more important than the site itself. And he can read the stars like a map to lead him to sites that even the most advanced satellites miss.

Opposing him as much as helping him is the love of his life and rival, Serena Serghetti. The beautiful Vatican linguist can decipher the language of Nature and angels. Dubbed by the media as "Mother Earth" for her environmental extremism, she lives to preserve the very things--including her faith--that the only man she's ever loved seems all too willing to sacrifice in his never-ending quest to discover the secret origins of humanity and his own life.

WHAT IF THERE REALLY WAS AN ATLANTIS--THE ONE PLATO DESCRIBED AND NOT THE ONE OF HOLLYWOOD IMAGINATION?

WHAT IF THERE WERE SURVIVORS--AND THEIR DESCENDANTS LIVE AMONG US, INVISIBLE SAVE FOR RECESSIVE DNA?

WHAT IF THIS "ALIGNMENT" IS STEERING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY TO RE-ESTABLISH A MASTER CIVILIZATION?

AND WHAT IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE "THEM"--AND THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO CAN STOP THEM?

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for The Atlantis Revelation?, June 6, 2009

This review is from: The Atlantis Legacy (Paperback)

If you loved The Atlantis Prophecy but missed the original Raising Atlantis adventure, you'll find both together in The Atlantis Legacy. The larger format makes for easy beach reading, and there's also a preview of the first two chapters of upcoming The Atlantis Revelation, which is the new title everybody is waiting for. But the publisher should clarify this on Amazon and put up the cover for The Atlantis Revelation. It's too easy to mistake Legacy for Revelation. I bought Legacy as a collector.

1.0 out of 5 stars Caution, nothing new, June 6, 2009

This review is from: The Atlantis Legacy (Paperback)

I purchased this book thinking it was the next installment in the series. Instead it is nothing but a marketing ploy to sell you a repackaged version of the first two novels with a new title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two for the Price of One, July 29, 2009

This review is from: The Atlantis Legacy (Paperback)

If you've missed the first two installments of Thomas Greanais' Atlantis books, this huge paperback combines both thrillers into one action packed novel.

I won't rehash what I wrote in my reviews of the two individual books but I can tell you I loved Raising Atlantis while I was a bit disappointed with Atlantis Prophecy.

While the former is filled with Atlantean mysteries and musty dusty discoveries, the latter lacked originality.

Both are filled with action and suspense. You'll have fun, just leave some of common sense at the door and think of them like a popcorn summer movie. Sure, some (if not all) is not plausible but its fun to wonder what if!
