Deep beneath the ancient city of Jerusalem lies a secret that knows no bounds, devastating enough to reach across time. History's greatest spy story begins here.
For a millennium, Jerusalem's Temple Mount has been at the center of war and death. There's never been a time when blood wasn't spilled upon this ancient, sacred site. Flash forward to present-day Jerusalem, where 35-year-old Israeli counterterrorism agent Sam Deker has just thwarted the most recent act of violence-an attempt by radical Palestinians to blow up the Dome of the Rock mosque and pin the blame on right-wing Orthodox Jews. The threat, however, is a diversion. Deker himself is the real target. He is captured and taken to neighboring Jordan, where he is tortured because of his deep knowledge of Israel's most closely guarded state secret.
Deker escapes with his comrade Uri Elezar, making it all the way to the border, only to be taken down at the banks of the Jordan River. This time, however, Deker wakes up in the middle of the ancient Israelite army on the eve of its historic siege of Jericho. Deker doesn't know if he is dead, in some torture-induced psychosis, or really back in time. But General Bin-Nun has declared a colossal holy war, and he's sending Deker and Elezar on a dangerous mission to spy on the Promised Land in advance of the invasion.
For Deker, it's his only hope to escape this genocidal hell. Then he finds himself in the arms of a beautiful enemy named Rahab, caught in a web of deadly betrayal, as he struggles to unlock the truth, secure Israel's future and his own, and save the twenty-first century from The Promised War.
Industry Reviews
"Once again Thomas Greanias takes the Atlantis mythology and ties it to events stripped from today's headlines. Lightning-paced, dagger-sharp, and brilliantly executed, THE ATLANTIS REVELATION made me gasp out loud." --James Rollins "THE ATLANTIS REVELATION is a giddily-paced, rollicking, globe-spanning tale of adventure, discovery and derring-do that pulled me in from the very first page. It's rare to find a tale as well researched as it is entertaining, and this is it. Best of all, it is pure fun. Highly recommended!" --Christopher Reich "A pedal-to-the-metal thriller that combines good, old-fashioned suspense with throat-grabbing twists. Just the right blend of science, myth, history, and action. Marvelous." -Steve Berry "THE ATLANTIS REVELATION is fast, fascinating, and far too hard to put down.
