Lizzie asked A.G. Riddle:

A friend asked if they could read Atlantis Plague without having read Atlantis Gene. I said yes, but I do not recommend it, so they are starting with book 1. I have plenty of time to read, but even when I worked and had young children at home, I couldn't imagine purposely starting a series in the middle. Maybe this is common? Have you noticed a lot more sales/readers on one book in the series?

A.G. Riddle Thanks for recommending to your friend. I don't recommend starting the series (or any series) in the middle. I think one builds a better relationship with the characters by reading from the beginning even if the plot is understandable. While I hope my future series is more self contained within each novel, I still think one would miss out on character development and plot nuances by starting in the middle.

Gene has definitely outsold the other two novels.

Thanks again,
Gerry

Hi, Gerry. I've read The Atlantis Gene but in Hungary the two other books of the trilogy are not translated. Is there any chance that those will be translated too?

Just read through all three of the Origin Series books. Fantastic fun! I'm a sci-fi/fantasy geek at heart but I was especially enjoying the Bourne/Bond/MissionImpossible type vibe going at the start of the first book. With David doing his best to stay one step ahead of . I read that you're working on a thriller set on Earth - should we expect to see more of that type of action?
