Quick Review:

Four out of five stars - This book reminds me of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code series. It's definitely a great spin on this genre and was very intriguing. I'm really interested in seeing how this series continues if I ever get my hands on the books! ( )

While I'd love to say Brokaw nailed down something unique, its FAR from it. A Dan Brown wannabe, his characters mimic those of Professor Langdon and female counterparts; in fact the central character's last name also beings with "L"; coincidence? Add to this far too much dialog and useless descriptive words, a predictable story and feeble attempt at achieving the likes of DaVinci Code or any other Brown stories, you have a big FAIL. Sorry Charles, but this ain't gonna get it in my opinion. ( )

El Dr. Thomas Lourds, experto en lenguas antiguas, recibe el encargo de examinar una campana de unos 20.000 años de antigüedad que lleva grabado un mensaje críptico. Su estudio concluye que se halla ante una lengua desconocida hasta la fecha y, lo más sorprendente, es que ésta podría ser la de los habitantes de la Atlántida. Lourds continúa con su investigación sin saber que El Vaticano tiene sus propios planes en lo que a la Atlántida se refiere, y que hará lo indecible para proteger los secretos sobre los orígenes del Cristianismo enterrados con ella. En su afán por desvelar el misterio, el profesor viajará a numerosos escenarios, entre ellos la ciudad de Cádiz, centro de las excavaciones para hallar la mítica ciudad perdida. Es la primera entrega de una serie que protagoniza el catedrático Dr. Thomas Lourds.

Very interesting plot for a story but the writing is below average.
The best part of these types of books are the details of how things are accomplished, unfortunately this rarely happens. Most often, when deciphering symbols or text, he just does, with no clues given as to how he might have come to his conclusions.

Worst of all, the Mets lost every game while I was reading this, and that can't be a good omen for future books in this series. ( )
