Publisher Description
A LOST CIVILIZATION. A DANGEROUS QUEST. A DEADLY SECRET. It's one of history's most enduring and controversial legends—the lost city of Atlantis. Archaeologist Nina Wilde is certain she's solved the riddle of its whereabouts—and with the help of reclusive billionaire Kristian Frost, his beautiful daughter, Kari, and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase, she's about to make the most important discovery in centuries. But not everyone wants them to succeed: a powerful and mysterious organization will stop at nothing to ensure that a secret submerged for 11,000 years never resurfaces. More than one would-be discoverer has already died in pursuit of Atlantis's secrets—including Nina's own parents. Failure isn't an option. From the streets of Manhattan to the Brazilian jungle, from a Tibetan mountaintop to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Nina and Eddie will race against time—and follow a trail of danger and death to a revelation so explosive, it could destroy civilization forever.

McDermott's debut, already an international bestseller, raises the bar to please adventure junkies who prefer to mainline their action.

The Hunt for Atlantis Listener Reviews

" Interesting story but felt plot could have been developed further "
— Vanessa, 2/17/2014 -
" In my defense, I really need to read these books sometimes as a cleanser for the heavier stuff that gets bogged down in my brain. These Indiana Jones adventure type stories are complete fluff, but entertaining. "
— Mandy, 2/14/2014 -
" The story was fun, but I'm not sure about the characters. Eddie Chase is obnoxious and Nina Wilde can be a bit annoying. (I read the audio book and the woman reading it didn't help much.) I did like that I wasn't able to predict every moment though. Another annoyance were the constant references to Indiana Jones. The first time it was mentioned, I thought it was funny. After that, it just got annoying. We get it. Indiana Jones is a movie and not real. It's funny that was a message so important to get across, yet one of the last scenes of the book I found to be just as unrealistic. But really, we don't read action/adventure books or watch action/adventure movies for the realism. We read them for the crazy adventures. "

" Just coudldnt get in to this book at all. wasn't very easy to pick up. dunno why "
— Roy, 12/16/2013 -
" Offending (some parts took place in Iran, and the writer seemed to against Iran. Such political words shouldn't be in the novel like this). And this is neither a historical nor a mythological novel. It's just an action novel. The mythology and the history was quite shallow. I don't like this books. "
— Joevarian, 12/13/2013 -
" I loved the book, the action scenes were great and there was never a dull moment. The writing style is quite simple but the story line made up for this. "
— Brittany282, 10/25/2013 -
" Not great but not bad either. I couldn't help but fall for Eddie Chase though :) He is definitely my favorite character so far! "
— Jess, 10/21/2013 -
" Loved this book, fast paced, lots of energy. "
— Shelley, 10/21/2013 -
" Good plot and the book keeps you interested all the time.. Also loved the characters esp. Eddie.. "
— Rakesh, 10/13/2013 -
" Mindless entertaining action. I love taking complete breaks from reality in books likes this. Fast paced and always ends happily ever after. "
— Caitriona, 8/27/2013 -
" Good book and good series. "
— Ty, 8/22/2013 -
" I really wish I could do 1/2 star ratings on this. I would give it 3.5 stars. This was a good fun read. Lots of adventure and thrills. The amount of casualties and gun fights might turn some people off if they have too vivid of an imagination. I'm looking forward to the next Nine/Eddie adventure. "
— Brenda, 8/11/2013 -
" This was a great adventure full of twists and turns. A good quick pace. I will definitely be diving into the next book soon. "
— Todd, 5/6/2013 -
" Lots of fun - adventure, violence, humor. A fun read! "
— R.D., 4/21/2013 -
" A really good ride ... Sort of like watching an Indiana Jones movie ... Some really interesting plot devices and twist. I may have to see if there's a sequel. "
— Gwyn, 4/14/2013 -
" Not as good as the James Rollins books I've been on a tear reading lately. Actually, the destruction of archeological site after archeological site was annoying. "
— Amanda, 12/4/2012 -
" This is the first in the Nina Wilde/Eddie Chase series. This story had lots of cliffhangers in it. It would make a good TV series or mini series. There are lots of dangerous situations and explosions like an action movie would have. "
— Susan, 11/9/2012 -
" Didn't realize this was part of a series.. Enjoyed it but probably would have liked it more if I started from beginning. Incidentally I am starting from beginning. "
— Carissa, 7/2/2012 -
" Great book full of action and a refreshing look at a legend "
— Laura, 10/30/2011 -
" Listening on audiobook. Like the book ok. Did not care for the narrator at first but warmed up to her in th end. "
— Bridgett, 6/4/2011 -
" God I love this. Actually pulled it out at the corner of a street while waiting for a light to change to keep reading towards the end. Completely absurd in every way, of course, but really that's sort of the point. "
— Jonathan, 6/1/2011 -
" Pocasí delá svoje divy! :D Když je krásne, cte se samo! :)) "
— Dý, 5/27/2011 -
" This is a fun read. It is an archaeological action-adventure novel; and if you like Indiana Jones, then you will probably enjoy reading this book. "
— Rachel, 5/5/2011 -
" Loved this first adventure of Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase. Can't wait to read the others. "
— Patricia, 4/12/2011 -
" keren! cepetan pada baca, hal 79nya lumayan buat sebagai kutipan (: "
— ayu, 3/9/2011 -
" Desde que me lembro qualquer coisa relacionada com a Atlântida é para mim irresístivel! Muito visual, gostei! "
— Babete, 2/10/2011 -
" I had to put this down and move on. I may come back to it later, but right now it's the most uninteresting read. The characters are one dimension (card board) and it lacks suspense. "
— Donna, 2/8/2011 -
" A great adventure along the lines of Matthew Reilly but McDermott does human relationships very well and that is the plot the kept me reading not just the search for Atlantis. Loved it "
— Christie, 2/7/2011
