Raising Atlantis (Conrad Yeats Adventure #1)

** spoiler alert **
I don't even know where to start. When I first chose to read this book it was because I have always felt interested in the story of Atlantis. Since the story itself talks about a city that has supposedly vanished, your mind as a reader has to be open enough to accept things that you might find not completely possible to believe. At the beginning of the book I was quite excited, thinking it would be something more similar to that Indiana Jones Atlantis PC game than the book's actual development of the story. Is it just me or were there too many inconsistencies?
1) Conrad Yeats is an alien. REALLY? Was that necessary? And he had been frozen for thousands of years until his adoptive father found him? Well, if that's true, then please bring Walt Disney back to life!
2) Serena Serghetti: What to we know about her? She first became a nun, but then she quit. She became famous worldwide, had had a previous encounter with the Pope that apparently hadn't gone too well, she is a UN councilor and also the head of an Australian organization that has something to do with the Antarctic. And FIVE years ago it was her last encounter with Conrad Yeats, whom she had an affair with. Go Serena! And, how old are you? 27???????? How on earth did she have time to do all that? Oh, and she is a pilot too. And has a Doctorate. Seriously?
3) Maybe I was so bored reading this that I might have not paid enough attention to what I was reading, but, did they actually find Atlantis in the only night of several millenniums when they could actually change the world? Please someone tell me this isn't true
4) How is it possible that Conrad Yeats' father didn't die when he fell into an abyss?
5) The -trying to get the zippo- sequence by Conrad Yeats when he was trapped. His hands were tied, but he managed to get his sunglasses into his pocket to reach for the zippo. No comment.
6)General Yeats decides to freeze Serena, his son and himself before going to space... And again, how are the three of you going to defrost yourselves?
Sorry, but I am not very happy with this book....
