Book 5 in the thrilling 7-book Atlantis Saga The US government, the US military, and world-renowned scientists are all after one thing—the Atlantis gene, from the descendants of the lost island of Atlantis.

The Atlantis Allegiance has survived sandstorms, starvation, and bombings to find the lost civilization of Atlantis, but not everyone will get out alive.

The Atlantis Origins is the 5th book in the action-packed Atlantis Saga. This is a planned 7-book series about the girl with the Atlantis gene. Book 1: The Atlantis Girl Book 2: The Atlantis Allegiance Book 3: The Atlantis Gene Book 4: The Atlantis Secret Book 5: The Atlantis Origins Book 6: The Atlantis Guard Book 7: The Atlantis Ascent
I loved this book. Lots of adventures, and a new rediscovery. Story about the flood from the bible, not religious, just another telling. The true stories stand the test of time, at least that is what the people from the sea say.
More interesting events, more errors in the plotline. Between the same inconsistencies with the greenhouse incident in the first book, repeated conversations and observations from previous books, and a completely new backstory for Otto, I just don't understand what was going through the author's head while writing this. Were they looking at the wrong draft of the earlier books or something? Because the story makes total sense without the changes, and some of the alterations completely mess up the plotline. There have legitimately been some very interesting twists in the story and very interesting character developments, and I do love the story as a whole, I just wish the author would stay consistent with everything already written in the series.
Miracle after miracle are experienced by the Atlantis Allegiance as they make their way towards the purported birthplace of The People of The Sea. As well as much violence as the cadre of enemies continues to multiply and block their every step. Jaxon finally experiences the homecoming she has longed for for as long as she can remember. It seems as if she's found the one she can trust with her biggest secret. Or can she? You'd better keep reading!
Again, the author has produced a book that is very readable. This volume carries the series forward to what one can only desire will be an exciting conclusion.
Book 5 brings Jaxon closer than she's ever been to finding out her origins, but there are new threats not only against her, but her friends, and all those who share her heritage. Definitely a cliff hanger.
