Selected Praise For A.G. Riddle

“This is apocalyptic sci-fi at its best.”
—Daily Mail on The Solar War

“...reads like a superior collaboration between Dan Brown and Michael Crichton.”
—The Guardian on Pandemic

“I finished the book fast because I just couldn’t wait...”
—WIRED GeekDad on Departure

“Riddle... keep(s) the focus on his characters... rather than the technological marvels”
—Publisher’s Weekly on Departure

An Extended Look at The Atlantis Plague

In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality: the human race stands on the brink of extinction. A pandemic unlike any before it has swept the globe. Nearly a billion people are dead—and those that the Atlantis Plague does not kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve. The remainder devolve.

As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. Industrialized nations offer a miracle drug, Orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world. But Orchid is merely a way to buy time. It treats the symptoms of the plague but never cures the disease.

Immari International offers a different approach: do nothing. Let the plague run its course. The Immari envision a world populated by the genetically superior survivors—a new human race, ready to fulfill its destiny.

With control of the world population hanging in the balance, the Orchid Alliance and the Immari descend into open warfare. Now the last hope for humanity is to find a cure. Kate alone holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the Atlantis Plague. The answer may lie in understanding pivotal events in human history—events when the human genome mysteriously changed. Her journey takes her across the barren wastelands of Europe and northern Africa, but it is her research into the past that takes her where she never expected to go. She soon discovers that the history of human evolution is not what it seems—and setting it right may require a sacrifice she never imagined.

Outstanding - from page 1

Reviewed in Australia on 26 February 2014

Congratulations, and thank you to A.G Riddle for so quickly churning out a quality sequel to the Atlantis Gene. The Atlantis Plague fills in more of the history around the historical events and mysteries unearthed in the Atlantis Gene whilst progressing the narrative to what lies in store for the human race. This book is again fast paced, with action and twist elements and events beautifully woven into the narrative. Again a great blend of historical/scientific fact and science fiction. I was particularly pleased that the slightly confusing and numerous resurrections at the end of the Atlantis Gene (probably my only criticism of the first novel) weren't perpetuated in the sequel.

I agree with some reviewers that, based on the already large basis in fact, that the believability of the series may be stretched if drawn out too far with what appears to be [SPOILER ALERT] an imminent alien invasion.....but then I don't have the benefit of knowing what will come next so I could be completely wrong there.

Looking forward to book 3.

Very medical

Reviewed in Australia on 20 May 2015

Verified Purchase

As with the other books in this series, the premise was quite good. However the medical/scientific/historical jargon tended to, at times, become overwhelming. While the main characters were well fleshed out, the heroine's refusal to leave two small children behind at the cost of quite possibly saving the rest of the world's population was staggeringly stupid. As Spock said 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one'. A scientist of her renown should know this.

Atlants Plague - SciFi Thriller

Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Riddle has done it again, a gripping exciting thriller. I was desperate to start the second book in the series but had things to do, so I managed one day of work before I began. Then I couldn't put the book down. It didn't disappoint, it had me gripped from start to finish. I love this new Atlantis gene and plague idea, the use of science with history (as we understand it to be) and mixing fact and fiction. The fact that I feel it's so real with a solid story and characters is testament to the authors's ability to draw you in with such a believable plot. I was hoping the second book would be a good as the first and it surely was. Once again AG Riddle very well done, can't wait for the next one, please don't take too long in creating this terrible new universe including our world. Hope I am one to survive. Sue

Pandemic to wipe out human life

I read this at the time of the corona virus outbreak, so really interesting comparing the spread of both.
I got lost a bit with all the technical jargon regarding DNA and such but not put off.
Thoroughly enjoyed this series and found hard to put down.

Great read! Left me wanting more... exciting and a real page turner....I couldn't put this book down just like the first book in the series....taking many twists and turns...I never quite knew where it was heading, yet satisfying when I got there!
I hope the next book pulls it all together....

I liked both books

Reviewed in Australia on 28 February 2014

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed both books so far. As one reviewer said, the first was probably a little better overall, but both have kept a good pace and keeping me entertained is all there is!
I have been impressed with the background to the stories. The historical plagues, the volcanic winters and the 'human endogenous retrovirus' aspects have all given a lot more substance to these books than I have come to expect in my recent Kindle readings, so I am glad to give a positive review.
I'm keenly waiting the next one.

Fast Paced & Intriguing

Reviewed in Australia on 22 May 2016

AG Riddle is no Tolkien or Tolstoy. But who needs Tom Bombadil or 500 different characters in a thriller. Book 2 was just as enjoyable to read as the first in the Origin Mystery Series. Great if you want to escape from everyday life for a few hours.

Definitely one for the post apocalyptic fans. Solid characters and a fast paced story. I wanted to keep reading which is always a good sign. Have already purchased the other books in the trilogy.

Off-putting to read during the Corona virus crisis!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I must admit, reading this book while in the middle of the Corona virus crisis is a little spooky but never the less I enjoyed it.
Having flown through the first book I went straight into this one and the pace of the plot doesn't ease, it motors along at a hectic speed which takes some effort to keep up with at times.
I didn't find the links to historical events quite as interesting or intriguing as the first book but I did enjoy the way the characters changed due to the events surrounding and effecting them.
Once again some of the writing was a bit corny and clumsy but on the whole very good.
The best endorsement I can give this book is that its one I couldn't put down, I found myself up way too late reading without realizing what time it was.

Atlantis Plague Book 2

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2020

Verified Purchase

The book continues from exactly where Book 1 finished, and did bring in some new characters into the mix where some of the them are the baddies, some on the side of Kate and David and humanity. You need to read to find out who is who......

I enjoyed book 1 more than I enjoyed this one, but overall I like the juxtaposition between artistic licence and myth / science and the questions that rise from, how did we get here, what was the trigger for the "Great Leap Forward" - a term for when the other 3 known human subspecies died off (Neanderthals, Denisovans, Hom Floresiensis) and our species had the change of brain re-wiring (debate amongst scientists on whether this was a sudden change or gradual change).

It is interesting to read that the two pandemics (The Plague of Justinian in the sixth Century and the Black Plague - 14th Century) which resulted in the most deadly plagues in recorded history were both caused by the same pathogen (Yersinia pestis) and both were directly preceded by a massive volcanic eruption in present day Indonesia.

Whilst reading, I did compare to the Dan Brown catalogue, specifically the Da Vinci Code, due to the history / artistic licence / subject, but where I have found Dan Brown's books to be very formulaic, I've not found this to be the true yet for The Atlantis books.

If you like a bit of history, myth, science and artistic licence in your reading, this is a great trilogy to read. If you go onto A G Riddle's website, you can look at the fact vs fiction contained within all Riddle's books. A great add on and a great way to learn some history without really knowing you are learning about history!

Can't wait to get stuck in to Book 3!

A decent yarn

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed the 1st book in the series but found this one a little flat. The characters that I had invested in before were all changed in ways that I found difficult to sympathise with. To give credit to the author, he didn’t just stick with a formula, endeavouring to progress the story onward. The plot however didn’t really add anything from its predecessor, it really felt like a movie sequel as opposed to a new progressive chapter in the story. Overall it is a decent book to pass the time but not one to really lose yourself in. Will I read the final part of the trilogy? Probably, but I’ll wait awhile.

Not the best sequel but worth a read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2020

Verified Purchase

This carried on where book 1 finished.
But in some ways it got more intriguing but in other ways more convoluted and unbelievable.
Extra characters were introduced and the ones we thought we knew had changed and therefore it was had to emphasise with them
I found this book a bit harder to get through after enjoying the first one.

A good sequel - not easy to put down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2013

Verified Purchase

Author A.G. Riddle keeps up a fast and furious pace throughout this sequel to The Atlantis Gene. It has an intricate plot that initially seems somewhat confusing, but as the story unfolds, the pieces start to fall into place and it becomes a riveting read. As with the Atlantis Gene, there's a blurring of right and wrong, good and bad. The characters have to make the best compromise they can, given the two possible outcomes for humanity that they can bring about. The science behind the fiction is once again well researched, the book is well written, and the author has cleverly left the way open for a further sequel.
The only criticism I have is that I felt there was a bit too much combat action and not quite enough scientific detective work. In this respect I feel it doesn't quite live up to The Atlantis Gene.
Nevertheless, I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Atlantis Plague. If you liked the Atlantis Gene, you will like the sequel.
