Publisher's Summary

The greatest mystery of all time...the history of human origins...will be revealed.

Seventy thousand years ago, the human race almost went extinct. We survived, but no one knows how.

Until now.

The countdown to the next stage of human evolution is about to begin, and humanity might not survive this time.

The Immari are good at keeping secrets. For 2,000 years, they've hidden the truth about human evolution. They've also searched for an ancient enemy - a threat that could wipe out the human race. Now the search is over.

Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep in an iceberg. It has been there for thousands of years, and something is guarding it. As the Immari rush to execute their plan, a brilliant geneticist makes a discovery that could change everything.

Dr. Kate Warner moved to Jakarta, Indonesia to escape her past. She hasn't recovered from what happened to her, but she has made an incredible breakthrough: a cure for autism. Or so she thinks. What she has found is far more dangerous - for her and the entire human race. Her work could be the key to the next stage of human evolution. In the hands of the Immari, it would mean the end of humanity as we know it.

Agent David Vale has spent 10 years trying to stop the Immari. Now he's out of time. His informant is dead. His organization has been infiltrated. His enemy is hunting him. But when David receives a coded message related to the Immari attack, he risks everything to save the one person that can help him solve it: Dr. Kate Warner.

Together, Kate and David must race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about the Atlantis Gene...and human origins. Their journey takes them to the far corners of the globe and into the secrets of their pasts. The Immari are close on their heels and will stop at nothing to obtain Kate's research and force the next stage of human evolution - even if it means killing 99.9% of the world's population. David and Kate can stop them...if they can trust each other. And stay alive.

Not what I expected

Was expecting a thriller/mystery/romance but got so much more. Creative and well thought out exploration of human evolution mythology and alien theories.

Great story but terrible reader

This is another great story from Riddle but this reader is one of the worst I have ever heard. I listen to audio books constantly and have never heard a reader this bad. His inflections and intonation is all wrong. That being said, the strength of the story saves it and I will download the rest of the series.

occasionally tedious with repetitious events

Concept is fine, but the bad guys or very undefined and ambiguous for far too much of the story. and it is far too obvious that their motivation is fuelled more by unmotivated fear and paranoia. Even megalomaniacs need more than an ancient device to motivate retaliation against unseen and frankly I'm confirmed enemy forces. beyond that the story's pacing is incredibly tedious for the first half of the book, lots of running, being captured, more running, more being captured, etc.

Poorly written

Pretty poorly written, predictable... Really couldn't suspend my disbelief. It was suspenseful and kept me listening, so I'll give it 2 stars, but that's about it.

Very stupid story

A sillier story than James Bond and all the latest Hollywood action movies combined.
Do not waste you money.
