#BookReview of #TheAtlantisCipher by David Leadbeater #NetGalley #Archaeology

The Atlantis Cipher by David Leadbeater The creative process is different for every artist. There are all kinds of art in the world including the written word. Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer, I have been given another opportunity to read an advanced copy of a David Leadbeater creation. The first being The Relic Hunters and now its sequel, The Atlantis Cipher which is due out 6 September 2018. 
​
Beyond the violence, adult language, and other situations that are not for the sensitive, there are moments of reflection. Guy has a realization that his past and present have some common denominators. I believe this definition of relic may say it best: a surviving memorial of something past. 

Brief synopsis: Guy Bodie and his team travel the globe to determine if there is any connection to some recently recovered statues and the lost civilization of Atlantis. As they follow the trail, they discover some hidden truths, some of which are memorialized by one person. 

My take: I really enjoyed how Mr. Leadbeater blended Guy Bodie’s realization and the unraveling of the hidden truths. To me, it shows great world building and character development. While this fictional team may act differently than most people believe is appropriate, they are true to their nature and therefore feel real.
