DAN KOTLER IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE’S TACKLING ONE OF THE OLDEST MYSTERIES IN HISTORY
The second Dan Kotler archaeological thriller!
1914—Thomas Edison stands and watches his West Orange laboratory burn to the ground, taking his life’s work with it. And he smiles. In his pocket is a stone that is the key to untold mysteries, and with it he will start fresh, and create wonders beyond any of his previous work.
1974—Two US Army Special Forces officers uncover a lockbox filled with invaluable enemy intelligence that can turn the tide of the Vietnam conflict. Among the papers and maps is another stone, nearly identical to Edison’s. With this, the two officers will build a financial empire, corrupt to its core but powerful enough to elude even the FBI.
TWO STONES, FOUND SIXTY YEARS APART, AND BOTH HOLDING CLUES TO WHAT MAY BE THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS
Today—Dan Kotler, independent researcher and archaeologist, is winding down from the events surrounding the theft and recovery of the Coelho Medallion, and discovering that the fallout of this history-altering adventure reaches further than he’d imagined. As academic colleagues shun him and the press hounds him, Kotler finds himself looking for a new purpose. When Gail McCarthy, granddaughter of one of Manhattan’s wealthiest real estate moguls, brings an ancient stone to Kotler’s attention, he finds himself embroiled once again in intrigue, jeopardy, and mystery. This time he may uncover one of history’s oldest secrets—if he survives long enough. Working with his friend from the FBI, Agent Roland Denzel, Kotler strikes out on a quest to uncover and solve the Atlantis Riddle, and once again rewrite history as we know it.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kevin Tumlinson is an award-winning and bestselling novelist, living in Texas and working in random coffee shops, cafés, and hotel lobbies worldwide. His primary work is in thrillers—including his wildly popular Dan Kotler Archaeological Thrillers. But he also successfully published science fiction, fantasy, and escapist fiction.

Kevin grew up in Wild Peach, Texas, where he was raised by his grandparents and given a healthy respect for storytelling. He often found himself in trouble in school for writing stories instead of doing his actual assignments, and he doesn't regret that in the least. And as Wild Peach was in no way metropolitan, or even approaching suburban, young Kevin had plenty of time to put his imagination to work crafting entire universes of characters, settings, and artifacts that would later inform his adult career choice.

Kevin's love for history, archeology, and science has been a tremendous source of material for his writing, feeding his fiction and giving him just the excuse he needs to read the next article, biography, or research paper, visit the next city or country, and embark on the next adventure. Kevin and his wife, Kara, can often be found traveling as van-lifers, along with their little chihuahua terrier, Mini.

A woman named Gail McCarthy approaches Dan Kotler in an underground garage with an intriguing story and an artifact. Dan is immediately interested and takes on another quest. He pulls his friend FBI Special Agent Roland Denzel into the hunt for, of all things, Atlantis.

Soon Dan is approached by a shadowy figure who calls himself Aslan. He has kidnapped Gail and demands that Dan and Roland assist him in finding the second half of the artifact and a map that is supposed to lead to the location of Atlantis.

This leads the men on another adventure and into danger. This is another action-filled quest that has surprises in store for the reader.

The book is well written and plotted. It is an easy and enjoyable read. One event follows another in a logical manner so that even though the central idea of Atlantis might be incredible, the reader is buying into the story all the way.

Next book, please, Mr. Tumlinson...

I love series books so I usually give the first book a chance to keep me interested enough to get the second and so on. I BOUGHT THE ENTIRE SERIES...all at once...not one book at a time! There is suspense, action, historical education, human emotion...I can't put them down.

Kevin Tomlinson delivers an exciting story with awesome academic interest as well as some really good action. He keeps the mushy stuff to a minimum, but allows his character to be human and have feelings as well as intellect and just all-out great skills of many types. I want to be Dan Kotler wen I finally grow up ( and I'm a girl!) Only I will cook like a boss on top of it all because I already have that skill:) The story is well written and paced so that I didn't want to put it down until I finished it, so I read it in one sitting while riding in the car to return my daughters to their respective colleges. It kept me happily occupied the whole trip. I want more!

This is the second in a series about Dan Kotler. I never read the first but don't feel cheated. This book stands on its own. Any references to the first book are appropriate and not necessary for this one.

With that stuff out if the way I can get to the story itself. It was interesting. A pretty blonde comes to Dan with a sad story about her dead grandfather's search for Atlantis. She held an artifact that was part of a puzzle which would lead them there. Thomas Edison himself leads the charge, but don't take that to mean there is time travel or immortality. However, little could have happened without him.

There are plenty of lies and betrayal. They find something but it isn't the end of their journey. The end sets up for future books but there is no dangling plot.

I really liked the book. I think it would be worth it to find and read the first book. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting thriller/mystery by talented author Kevin Tumlinson
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2016

Kevin Tumlinson is an extremely talented author. He is knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects and uses that knowledge to make his books believable. Including the Atlantis Riddle, I have read nine of Kevin's books, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every one.

His characters are well described, leading the reader through the plot. The plots have sub-plots, guiding the characters through the twists and turns. As I was reading this story, I felt like I was pulled along, wondering what was next in this exciting mystery/thriller.

Dan Kotler, the primary character, is well fleshed out. He spends most of his time doing whatever is necessary - crawling in caves, digging in the dirt, brushing dirt off objects, etc. - to find treasure, especially antiquities. His most recent project is the Coelho dig site where, among other treasures, they find the "Coelho Medallion", named for Dr. Eloi Coelho, a good friend of Kotler's.

Kotler becomes involved in an FBI case that is being investigated by another friend, Agent Roland Denzel. As the investigation progresses, more characters are added - some good and some very bad. Some are very misleading in their intentions.

For a time, Dan and Roland are taken hostage. There are shoot-outs. Will Dan and Roland survive? Will they find the treasure? Please read this exciting book for the outcome. I think you will thoroughly enjoy it.

I did not read book 1 in this series (as far as I remember anyway). The premise was somewhat interesting--Thomas Edison having found Atlantis and having left behind a map and some stones that are now held by various owners. The writing was a bit dry for my taste. I was left guessing as to who was on what side through most of the book..

This was a fantastic book! I couldn’t wait to finish it. It was intriguing, exciting, fascinating, and full of interesting characters. Not to mention that historical information was given and really makes me want to do some serious research into Thomas Edison! I highly recommend this book and it’s completely set up for another book, which I’m going to search for now!

Dan and Roland Denzel are pulled into yet another adventure. Gail McCarthy contacted Dan with some unusual stones which spiked his interests "Atlantis". There was a story behind them of her father and another of the special forces band of brothers who found the stones and a map, that was the beginning, Van Burren and her father became partners in smuggling and other illicit acts they became very rich, her father now dead but she doesn't want to continue the partnership with Van, Dan said he would be able to keep the stone safe which involves FBI Denzel. Not wanting to spoil the story nothing is as it seems nothing is straight forward not even people are who they seem. Twists and turns the plot takes you on a not too safe a journey life threatening through out red herring clues oh boy makes for a very exciting read. I recommend this book

Well, Kevin Tumlinson scores another coup of a yarn around the fictional Dan Kotler - our intrepid explorer/archaeologist star. These are superlative stories where even beautiful women can be the villain. I love when that happens. So beware, you're about to enter a mesmerizing yarn that'll have you absolutely thrilled you ever got involved, and then you wind up looking forward to more of this exceptional individual's stories. A very believable story - except this guy is smarter than all the rest of us put together, with great logic in his thinking process that keeps you right on top of whats going on, and in the middle of the action.. This lets the story stay completely in perspective. You'll be thrilled to smithereens you got this book.
