The Atlantis World (The Origin Mystery, Book 3) Kindle Edition

A mysterious signal from deep space may hold humanity’s last chance of survival.

And could reveal the ultimate truth of human origins.

The race to unravel the secrets of the Atlantis world has begun.


The Atlantis World is the thrilling conclusion to A.G. Riddle’s blockbuster series, The Origin Mystery trilogy, which has sold over THREE MILLION copies worldwide (in twenty languages), received 30,000+ reviews on Amazon, been rated 20,000+ times on Audible, and garnered 120,000+ ratings on GoodReads. The trilogy is now in development to be a major motion picture.

With plot twists you’ll never see coming, The Atlantis World is an adventure across space and time that explores the history of the Atlantean homeworld and culture—a topic readers have discussed and theorized about since the release of the first novel in the series (The Atlantis Gene). Set aside some time—you’ll be up late turning the pages to finish the trilogy.


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

“Well-constructed and tightly-wound as a fine Swiss watch—DEPARTURE has non-stop action, an engaging plot and, of course, wheels within wheels.”
—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander


An Extended Look at The Atlantis World

Northern Morocco: Dr. Kate Warner cured a global pandemic, and she thought she could cure herself. She was wrong. And she was wrong about the scope of the Atlantis conspiracy. Humanity faces a new threat, an enemy beyond imagination. With her own time running out and the utter collapse of human civilization looming, a new hope arrives: a coded message from a potential ally.

Arecibo Observatory: Mary Caldwell has spent her life waiting, watching the stars, looking for signs of intelligent life beyond our world. When that day comes, Mary is thrust into a struggle older than the human race, with far greater stakes. She must decide whom to trust because there is nowhere to hide.

Antarctica: In the wake of the Atlantis Plague, Dorian Sloane finds himself a puppet to Ares and his mysterious agenda. When Dorian moves to take control of the situation, Ares unleashes a cataclysm that changes everything. As the catastrophe circles the globe, Ares reveals the true nature of the threat to humanity, and Dorian agrees to one last mission: find and kill David Vale and Kate Warner. There will be no prisoners this time. The orders are seek and destroy, and Dorian has been promised that his own answers and salvation lie on the other side.

With Dorian in pursuit, Kate, David, and their team race through the ruins of the Atlantean ship left on Earth, across Atlantean science stations throughout the galaxy, and into the past of a mysterious culture whose secrets could save humanity in its darkest hour. With their own lives on the line and time slipping away, Kate, David, and Dorian are put to the ultimate test.


Note: The Atlantis World is the third and final book in The Origin Mystery trilogy.

About the Author

A.G. Riddle spent ten years starting internet companies before retiring to pursue his true passion: writing fiction.

His debut novel, The Atlantis Gene, is the first book in The Origin Mystery, the trilogy that has sold over two million copies in the US, has been translated into 18 languages, and is in development to be a major motion picture.

His recently released fourth novel, Departure, follows the survivors of a flight that takes off in the present and crash-lands in a changed world. HarperCollins published Departure in hardcover in the fall of 2015, and 20th Century Fox is developing the novel for a feature film. 

Riddle grew up in a small town in North Carolina (Boiling Springs) and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. During his sophomore year of college, he started his first company with a childhood friend. He currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, who endures his various idiosyncrasies in return for being the first to read his new novels. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, on September 2, 2016.

No matter where he is, or what's going on, he tries his best to set aside time every day to answer emails and messages from readers. You can reach him at: ag@agriddle.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Read all 3, you won't be disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024

These books were fantastic! There were so many plot twists and turns, that at times it was hard to keep up, but it was well worth reading all 3 books. The story spanned not only generations, but millennia. I don't know how the author came up with such a complex storyline and timeline with such engaging characters. By the end of the books, I almost felt like I knew these people. Riddle made very obviously sci-fi concepts seem very real and believable. This story had me hooked until the very end - which I might add I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is not my usual read, but I will admit that I was totally captured by this trilogy. Kate, David, Milo (too adorable), Dorian, Sonja and all the rest really had my attention. I will admit the first book, even though it was wordy it had my attention. Nothing underwater about Atlantis in this story. Put a new spin on an old story. I would recommend this trilogy to anyone looking for a good read.

Riddle brings a scientific twist to science fiction. The books hold your attention and give a much needed escape from daily issues, much like a 'staycation'. There are moral lessons and society norms and values that develop with the entertaining story line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
Verified Purchase
The Atlantis Gene (1) I accepted as a fun brainless read. The Atlantis World (2) was, well, it really could use at least a half dozen more drafts. The Atlantis World (3) is kind of a mixed bag.

Pros: There is resolution for most of those thrown out there story arcs. I was interested and engaged and not actively tempted to throw up my hands for most of the book. It is a quick, brainless read.

Cons: I have strong personal objections when the writing lapses into a "here's a narrated recap of all the past events (of the last two books)" repeatedly. When that style extends into "here's two alien's memories outlining what happens", it makes the whole book read like a plot draft rather than a finished product. Character development is shallow at best. The science is rather sketchy, even with the -fiction tacked on.

Peeve: Serpentine Army = Ori? It's hard to escape the heavy overlap with Stargate Atlantis. I think some of the concepts are interesting and sound original, but some of them are remarkably similar to the TV series.

Overall I don't regret reading the series. It was entertaining. It was engaging. The author has talent and imagination. My biggest beef is that the plot twists come out of nowhere and are not built up to, or have any sort of foreshadowing, or clues laid in for, whatsoever, which keeps the books from being truly "good".

4.0 out of 5 stars in fact - to be enjoyed by a select group of readers
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014

AG Riddle himself wrote that he intended this book - the series, in fact - to be enjoyed by a select group of readers, rather than simply liked by a larger audience. I count myself in the group of "larger audience", but I can well appreciate that this series, having read to the end, will strike a chord with a select group of readers.

I liked very much the premise of the series. On initial reading of the first in the trilogy, I did not appreciate the plan for the unfolding story. It was only by book two that the basic premises became clear, and by this book I was highly entertained by the concept. An Atlantean civilisation, overseeing evolutionary processes and manipulating genetic sequences is, as a concept, brilliant. As a health professional myself, I found the genetic concepts interesting, and certainly our current knowledge of genetics remains primitive. Riddle has created a world that is believeable and consistent, and populated with characters that have substance.

I did not like so much the style of writing. I thought there were times when the action dragged. There was a lot of space dedicated to explaining the science, and this is proper so, but I would have preferred to be entertained by that science being drawn out by the story, rather than use the characters as teachers. I therefore spent some time dragging myself back to the story, to finish what is a very entertaining book.

All in all, I give this book, and the series, four stars. I look forward to further books.

I am huge sci-fi fan and I prefer watching movies/tv series, but amount of media they make is not enough to quench my thirst for sci-fi genre. This trilogy is mind blowing, very detailed, amazingly connected stories and always on edge. I generally have a problem with focus when reading books and after 3 pages I am sleeping lol. However this story was something I couldn't take my eyes off. Focus was at 100% all the time. Mr Riddle, you are an amazing storyteller, and I can't wait to continue with rest of your books. Thank you for existing
