Atlantis by David Gibbins Reviewed by Kez Russell Although Atlantis is an old myth, Gibbins' novel is given credence by the fact that the author himself is Cambridge archaeologist. So when his characters work out the position of Atlantis through underwater archaeology, classic texts and clues found on archaeological digs, it is believable. Unfortunately Gibbins ignores the huge scope of the sunken culture. His characters bypass the ancient citadel to fight against an 'enemy' that is a confused mix of cold war Russians and Muslim terrorists. With stereotypical and token characters and unimaginative writing, Atlantis is disappointing - not so much for its content as for its misadvertising.
