About the Book

A lost world. An ancient code. A deadly chase.

Five ancient statues have been unearthed in South America, each containing a mysterious coded message hinting at an origin many thought impossible: the mythical world of Atlantis. As word of their discovery spreads, the prized figurines become a treasure bounty hunters will kill for.

CIA agent Heidi Moneymaker calls in the only team for the job: Guy Bodie and his posse of relic-hunting thieves. If they are to find the ancient civilization, Bodie and his team must decode a series of clues—starting with the cipher on the statues themselves—that will take them across the world and to the deepest depths of the ocean. But they are not alone in their mission.

Pursued by mysterious forces intent on keeping the legendary empire hidden, hunted by Chinese special forces and the relic hunters’ lethal foe, the Bratva, the team races to find the lost land—and Bodie’s enemies will stop at nothing to be the first to discover Atlantis’s secrets.

Review

Who is this mysterious Yasmine? What's next for the legendary "Relic Hunter team?" Heidi Moneymaker is a CIA agent running an off the books operation. So what happens when the hunt for Atlantis begins? Now every major power is gunning for Agent Moneymaker and her team. They will stop at nothing to steal the discovery of Atlantis or keep it a secret all together. Or is this an elaborate hoax for the Bratva to draw bodie out of hiding, the one person they want to kill most.

Who will win, in this game of cat and mouse, mixed with elaborate clues only the smartest minds can solve.

I loved this book to the very end. I have to say, "The Bratva," never give up. There will be times where you will be like,"Okay their safe, no their in danger, no their safe." David Leadbeater is a true author that knows how to craft a story. He maybe able to compare to James Patterson one day, in another genre besides horror. I would love to see his craft after another five years from now. I would recommend, " Atlantis Cipher" to anybody who loves a good mystery slash thriller novel.
