Atlantis Stolen (Sam Reilly Book 3)
The meteor struck the Atlantic Ocean around 11000 years ago. The subsequent tsunamis flooded more than 95 percent of the world’s landmass, taking with it the lives of nearly all living creatures on earth. Those wretched enough to survive the initial impact, most likely went on only to die from starvation or the subsequent catastrophic storms which followed. Of the few human survivors, almost all lived in high altitude caves in mountain ranges, allowing them to escape the initial destruction and subsequent havoc that decimated the rest of the population.
These were the nomadic tribes who had survived as hunter gatherers for thousands of years, unlike the advanced civilizations built along the plains. Of the few who had come from the lowground, some tried to recreate their old way of life, but had insufficient numbers or tools to do so. Others tried to dedicate shrines to the old ones, while more still simply intended to document them. In the end, all returned to the ways of the hunter gatherer, or perished. Generations attempted to retell the facts of the advanced, lost civilization. These turned into stories, until at last all was forgotten, but the most persistent of myths.

Only a handful of people around the world are aware the same stellar event which happened 11000 years ago, was drawing near once more, and with it, the dangerous truth of Atlantis was about to irreversible change the lives of every living person on earth.
The question is, can Sam Reilly discover the truth in time to change it?

Nearly two hundred miles inland, the survivors came across the dilapidated remains of a monstrous ship, far bigger than anything the British navy had ever constructed. Through the meagre communication achieved with the ancient people, who lived in the land, the survivors learned that the ship had been there for a very long time… Maybe a thousand years?

In 2016, a mining exploration, searching for vast gold deposits, in an inland Australian town, take a core sample 500 feet below the surface of a deserted mountain.

Could the origins of this coin finally reveal the existences of the fabled, Mahogany Ship?
