About the author
David Gibbins
50 books614 followers Canadian-born underwater archaeologist and novelist. Gibbins learned to scuba dive at the age of 15 in Canada, and dived under ice, on shipwrecks and in caves while he was still at school. He has led numerous underwater archaeology expeditions around the world, including five seasons excavating ancient Roman shipwrecks off Sicily and a survey of the submerged harbour of ancient Carthage. In 1999-2000 he was part of an international team excavating a 5th century BC shipwreck off Turkey. His many publications on ancient shipwreck sites have appeared in scientific journals, books and popular magazines. Most recently his fieldwork has taken him to the Arctic Ocean, to Mesoamerica and to the Great Lakes in Canada.

I have just finished the first book although I must admit to having read them all before. Obviously the seriously well founded but ultimately fictional "origin" story was, although brilliant and so very plausible, unable too inspire the same wonder as the first time round. When one is aware even in the usually inaccessible depths of memory of the awesome nature of a discovery it cannot be so dumb founding a second time. That is no to say that it does not still inspire awe just a little less intense. The adventure story built around the created history of a lost epoch and a previously unknown founding civilisation was non to shabby either. I shall update this review when I read the second book in the triptych. (I will add one thing... I have read this novel previously and I fully intend to read both the others in this edition after I have finished The Three Paradises (which I am currently reading as it was one of those rare books I bought on release) in truth that should be all the review you need!!!)
