Meet Me In Atlantis

‘Turn Right at Machu Picchu is thoughtful and informative, a wry and genial account rather than the forced jock fest of too many populist, fish-out-of-water narratives.’ * Weekend Australian on Turn Right at Machu Picchu *
‘Frank, funny and informative, Adams delivers the best and worst of travel experiences for the armchair explorer. Verdict: history, adventure and humour in spades.’ * Courier Mail and Daily Telegraph on Turn Right at Machu Picchu *
‘An engaging and sometimes hilarious book.’ * New York Times Book Review on Turn Right at Machu Picchu *
’[An] entirely delightful book.’ – Jonathan Yardley * Washington Post on Turn Right at Machu Picchu *
‘A serious (and seriously funny) travelogue, a smart and tightly written history, and an investigative report into perhaps the greatest archaeological discovery in the last century.’ * nationalgeographic.com on Turn Right at Machu Picchu *
‘The collision between Adams’ youthful zeal and journalistic sensibilities provide an arresting dichotomy to an absorbing search…Fact or fiction, Atlantis, as the author ably demonstrates, still has the power to enthral inquiring minds.’ * Kirkus *
‘Adam’s informal prose acts as a remedy transforming an academic topic into a work of travelogue, investigative journalism, and serious philosophical examination.’ * Publishers Weekly *
‘Writing with the same jaunty style as Turn Right at Machu Picchu, Adams merrily entertains the lost-cities audience.’ * Booklist *
‘Adventurous, inquisitive and mirthful, Mark Adams gamely sifts through the eons of rumor, science, and lore to find a place that, in the end, seems startlingly real indeed.’ * Hampton Sides, author of In the Kingdom of Ice *
‘Adams maintains a journalistic scepticism and a buoyant sense of humour, making Atlantis a gripping journey.’ * Entertainment Weekly *
‘An entertainingly written guide to discerning history from myth and sorting out the knowledge from the nutjobs.’ * New Zealand Listener *
‘Never less than entertaining…touching and revealing.’ * Australian *
‘Meet Me in Atlantis is like a detective story that tries to assemble all the evidence in one place, but it’s also a travelogue and a comprehensive history…An informative and engrossing read.’ * Good Reading *
‘Funny, engaging and skeptical, Meet Me In Atlantis is the ultimate travelogue to nowhere.’ * Vacations and Travel *
