Synopses & Reviews
An old friend summons dashing linguistics professor Thomas Lourds to Jerusalem to examine an ancient text. But Irans Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also wants the same document.

“If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, The Atlantis Code will take you to a new level of mystery, wonder, adventure and excitement. This book will enthrall you and at the same time connect you in a very intimate way with the mystery of your sacred existence.”
—Deepak Chopra
“Short, gripping chapters move the action from Egypt to Russia to Africa to London. Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code. Look out, Dan Brown, Brokaw can play this game a lot better than most of your imitators.”
