Just imagine this:
There's a pyramid under 1000 feet of ice, they drill a shaft that goes down to it, find an OPEN entrance and there's no ice inside the kilometers of shafts and hallways? 
The main character falls down a 100 foot shaft, hooks himself up to a line as he falls, in total darkness mind you, and stops 20 feet short from the ground, without being hurt. (I must be stupid because I broke an arm from a 5 foot fall) Then he cuts his line to jump to the ground, again without being hurt. Oh, the preceding bad guy who fell in the same hole found himself impaled on an obelisk, and our hero manages to miss it?
The hero and heroin find themselves in a control room and start a mechanism that has been unused for TWELVE THOUSAND years, read this THOUSANDS, and it works without a glitch. I just wish GM knew something about this technology.
I could go on and on like this for a long time. There is a far fetched action or improbability every two pages. 
That makes it bad fiction to me, because it defies natural and physical laws.
But... I do like the subject of Atlantis and am curious about what he imagines for the rest of the story. So I'll soldier on although I rate this ebook immediately a 2 out of 10 stars. 
Sorry Mr. Greanias... |
Damn! Oh well, never look a gift horse in the mouth; I'll try reading it later
