Book Review - Fiction

                                                       The Atlantis Plague trilogy


The first book of the Atlantis Plague trilogy is Atlantis Plague itself. It starts with a group of scientist searching for a alien spacecraft hidden under the huge ice cap in Antarctica . It recounts a story of a mining engineer who is hired by a nefarious group called the Immari. The mining engineer is hired to uncover the so called Atlantis which is hidden under the Bay of Gibralter, but it is also actually a ship. The ship is uncovered and the so called plague is released in the atmosphere. This is the Spanish Flu.

The second book is the Atlantis Gene. In this second book , what we actually think is a plague is actually a genetic modification given to us by the Atlantean ship to help humanity to go further in our technological and physical advancement. This is called the 'Great Leap', which is an actual term which happened right after the plague during the dark ages and after the Toba catastrophe.
          So it was actually the Atlateans , an alien species who were commandeering the entire human evolution. They helped us with agriculture, fire, advance language etc.

The third book is the Atlantis World. On the planet of the atlanteans the people there were attacked by other alien more advanced than them. So an atlantean decides to take revenge on this advanced species decides to use humans as soldiers to fight against this more advanced species.

So this series narrates what the plague was and how aliens played a major role in human history. The two protagonist of this book try to decode this entire plague theory and why would an alien species would be interested in humans. The book is filled with fantastic chase sequences, some mysterious facts in human evolution. Although the first two book are good the third book fails to keep you hooked as it jumps abruptly from the story ongoing on earth to the past of the atlanteans world.

To sum it up it is a kind of Dan Brown series based on facts, the language is simple and you will surely learn something new from these books.
