The Immari are good at keeping secrets. For 2,000 years, they have hidden the truth about human evolution. And they've searched for an ancient enemy - a threat that could wipe out the human race. Now the search is over.
Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel has discovered a mysterious structure buried deep in an iceberg. It's been there for thousands of years, and it isn't man made. The Immari think they know what it is, but they aren't taking any chances. The time has come to execute their master plan: humanity must evolve or perish. In a lab in Indonesia, a brilliant geneticist may have just discovered the key to their plan.
Four years ago, Dr. Kate Warner left California for Jakarta, Indonesia to escape her past. She hasn't recovered from what happened to her, but she has made an incredible discovery: a cure for autism. Or so she thinks. What she's found is actually far more dangerous. Her research could rewrite human history and unleash the next stage of human evolution. In the hands of the Immari, it would mean the end of humanity as we know it.
One man has seen pieces of the Immari conspiracy: Agent David Vale. But he's out of time to stop it. His informant is dead. His organization has been infiltrated. His enemy is hunting him. But when he receives a cryptic code from an anonymous source, he risks everything to save the only person that can solve it: Dr. Kate Warner.
Now Kate and David must race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about the Atlantis Gene... and human origins. Their journey takes them to the far corners of the globe and into the secrets of their pasts. The Immari are close on their heels and will stop at nothing to find the Atlantis Gene and force the next stage of human evolution - even if it means killing 99.9% of the world's population. David and Kate can stop them... if they can trust each other. And stay alive.

I really enjoyed this and need to read the other two books in the series. This is a long book but I was having such a good time reading it, I practically raced through it. The book is split into three sections, the first section sets the scene, things heat up in the second section and by the third section you'll have no idea what the hell is going on but won't care because you're enjoying yourself so much. The book tackles many bases; a bit of time travel, historical fiction, some romance, mystery and plenty of action. There are a lot of characters and so much happens but I didn't get lost because the book is so well written. I enjoyed the sci-fi elements as well. This is worth getting lost in.
