Good adventure fiction . . .

Raising Atlantis
by Thomas Greanias

ISBN:  0-7434-9191-2

From the back cover:

"The truth is down there - buried beneath two miles of ice.

In Antarctica, a glacial earthquake swallows up a team of scientists . . . and exposes a mysterious monument older than the earth itself.

In Peru, archaeologist Dr. Conrad Yeats is apprehended by US Special Forces . . . to unlock the final key to the origins of the human race.

In Rome, the pope (sic) summons environmental activist Dr. Serena Serghetti to the Vatican . . . and reveals a terrifying vision of apocalyptic disaster.

In space, a weather satelite reveals four massive storms forming around the South Pole . . . and three US spy satellites disappear from orbit.

These are the end times, when the legends of a lost civilization and the prophecies of the world's great religions lead a man and a woman to a shattering discovery that will change the fate of humankind.  This is the ultimate voyage, a journey to the center of time, as awe-inspiring as the dawn of man - and as inevitable as doomsday.  This is Raising Atlantis . . ."
