Book Description:
A shocking discovery leads one scientist down a dangerous path in Brian Power’s compelling debut novel, Song of Atlantis.
When Amon Goro, the master architect of Atlantis, discovers a way to harness the earth’s forces into an infinite source of clean energy, it seems destined to change civilization as we know it.
But 4,500 years later, Atlantis exploration team leader Palen Golendar is brutally captured by a Native American tribe in modern-day South Dakota—derailing any hope Atlantis held of utilizing its energy secrets.
Eight thousand years in the future, Native American anthropologist Gordon Tallbear and his team of highly skilled researchers stumble across a connection between the recent discovery of Golendar’s remains and an intricate cavern system deep in the mountains of Antarctica…a connection that finally reveals the Atlantean secret of perpetual energy.
While Tallbear and his team plan to recreate the energy source that will change the world, a wealthy group with deep ties to carbon-based fuel producers decides this newfound energy source must be destroyed—and they will stop at nothing to assassinate the researchers in order to bury what they know.
Can Tallbear’s newfound knowledge survive?

My Review:
Song of Atlantis is an exciting debut novel by Brian Power. The book spans thousands of years involving secrets, discoveries and clean energy. Architect Amon Goro discovers a way that could change cultures forever. Fast forward forty-five hundred years, Palen Golender, an Atlantis explorer, is kidnapped and killed by a tribe of Native Americans in South Dakota. After that event, another eight thousand years passes by and the reader is introduced to Native American anthropologist, Gordon Tallbear. While on site in the caverns of Antarctica, he finds the remains of Palen Golender and discovers the energy secrets from the mysterious Atlantis. Gordon suddenly realizes he has brought himself into danger and has to fight to survive. Can he save himself and others from a group of assassins who will do anything to stop them from the using the knowledge of their new discoveries?
I liked Song of Atlantis. In the first few chapters, I was confused and had a hard time understanding as to what was going on, but once I caught on, I was hooked. I enjoyed the way the author used his imagination describing Atlantis and Antarctica. The story includes action, danger, adventure, secrets, mystery, discoveries and suspense. This is one book that I could never predict the ending at all. I never knew what would happen next.
I am giving Song of Atlantis three and a half stars. I would be interested to see what Brian Power comes up with in his next release. This one took me on a captivating and thrilling ride.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
