The Atlantis Gene
The Atlantis Gene by A.G. Riddle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just finished this book and overall I enjoyed it. There were a couple of minor issue though. One there is technical point where the author compared a methane explosion to a nuclear weapon. I little research shows that the amount of methane to make an explosion that large is HUGE.
I also feel the ending was a little understated. I think there is an opportunity for a better cliff hanger to get me interested in the next volume. I think there should have been more build up during the conclusion to set the scene better for the next phase of the story.
Overall it was well written, the pace was good and the characters were interesting.

About Ray Jay P

I’m a retired Aeronautical Engineer who is trying to bring a different style to science fiction writing. I’ve always loved science fiction and I’m trying to write with deeper characters and create stories and situations that a reader can relate to. The be honest I love a hero that has amazing weapons, takes on hundreds of aliens and can survive anything, but I also want to read a situation and be able to relate to it. An extrapolation of what might really happen with a little less stretch in my imagination. I’ve been fortunate and I flew in the US Air Force for 10 years, during which time I flew C-130’s and visited 27 countries, then I flew T-38”s and trained the best pilots in the world, as well as the first female US Air Force pilots. I then was fortunate to spend 28 years in a major aerospace firm and worked on some of the best programs in the world including the F-23, F-35, B-2, Global Hawk and many I can’t tell you about…. I hope I can bring my real life experiences into my writing so you can appreciate my work.
