Readers who enjoy archaeology, history of archaeology, or unsolved mysteries will find much to enjoy in this well-written work that will keep readers' attention to the final pages.
Fans of Hancock's previous works may find the arrogant tone here off-putting. Much of the story is the same as those of his prior writings, and he demonstrates a level of personal frustration against conventional science throughout. These issues aside, readers of alternative science may find this book worthwhile for its entertainment value and provocative discussion of archaeological and environmental data.
This work excels in drawing the reader into the story of each individual and is suitable for anyone interested in history, forensic science, Iron Age archaeology, or the study of human remains. Owing to its scientific nature, archaeologists would also benefit from reading this book. The use of multiple sources of data and lines of inquiry makes it an exquisite example of writing and investigation.
Those who relish historical fiction, seafaring and maritime history or adventure, and literary history are sure to find much to enjoy in this pleasurable read.
Anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of history will enjoy this book. Highly recommended to readers who delight in adventure, suspense, and the thrill of discovering history at their fingertips.
Adams's excellent examination frames much of Atlantis research on an intimate level. In its own right, this work serves as an important contribution to the search for Atlantis. Readers of history, adventure, travel, scientific inquiry, or the history of science will find this book provocative and entertaining. [See Prepub Alert, 7/28/14.]
Without glitz, the author has created a very enjoyable work that will be appreciated by experts in the field and casual readers alike. Well suited to anyone contemplating archaeology as a career, those curious about what the profession is like, lovers of history and science, and readers who enjoy and are grateful for the lure of prehistory and discovery as a mental process.
