Publisher Description

Matt Stribling is stuck spending another holiday with his brilliant yet scatterbrained archaeologist father. When Matt arrives to find the place turned upside down and his father missing, he’s not immediately worried. But a cryptic message and strange sandy footprints soon convince Matt that all is not right. With the help of some unusual family friends, Matt discovers that his father had been searching for an ancient code, one rumoured to have brought down the Mayans and maybe even the fabled civilization of Atlantis. Now in the hands of a madman using high-tech computers to decipher it, the code is being readied for new and sinister uses. Matt and his friend Robin will traverse the globe, battling terrifying sand creatures and mercenaries alike, in their efforts to stop the chaos code from being fully reactivated–and dooming the modern world to a catastrophe not seen since the days of Atlantis.

"The Chaos Code was extremely hard to get into at first, but once you get past the first hundred pages, the story is quite good and sure to please sci-fi adventure fans. I will admit, however, that the "big secret" about a couple of the characters was so thinly disguised throughout the whole book that I was yelling in frustration every time they hinted around it... but never actually revealed. Despite that slight complaint, I highly recommend this book for young adults."

    " Great adventure/mystery/science fiction. Lots of historical/scientific connections (archeology, ancient cultures). Some of it is a little hard to accept though, it strains credibility some. "

    " Well, it was a stretch to suspend disbelief, here, but it wasn't a horrible read. Matt, on summer holiday, finds his archaeologist father missing and a series of clues to his work. He teams up with his Aunt's wealthy employer and the man's enigmatic daughter to try and find his father and the secret he was working on - a lost treasure that includes arcane knowledge that could destroy or enslave the world. They travel to the jungles of Brasil and the snows of Denmark. I think it was shooting for a James Bond-y kind of action adventure, but the narration was stiff, we didn't really care much about the characters, and the supernatural/sci-fi element wasn't all that scary. Not horrible, but not outstanding. "

    " I have officially decided to stop reading this book. I have a strict rule, if I am not interested by page 100 then I am done. I actually didn't listen to my rule this time and kept reading...until about page 187. I was still bored to tears and dreaded picking the book up. The ONLY reason I kept reading is that the book got so many good reviews. Some even said it was a fast read. I completely disagree. I kept waiting for the story to pull me in. If the book can't peak my interest halfway through the book then I see no point of finishing. I'm actually pretty disappointed. I wont be reading more books from this author either. I still don't know what happens in the end but you know something is wrong when you really don't care. I have picked up another book and haven't looked back. I say, stay away from this book. Perhaps it does get better, but by what page? "

    " This was an action-packed book that exciting people love. There were many twists and turns and that's what makes this read so exciting! It sort of reminded me of Indiana Jones (Atlantis and all that) but it was very original. I recommend this book to anyone who likes archeology. :) "
