30. I have two Atlantis - themed books on my to read shelf

Actually, I have three archaeology/adventure series that I have been reading for a couple of years. Interestingly, the characters in all three series may hunt for the same artifacts at some point in their adventures but the storylines are all different enough that you don't feel like you are reading the same story over and over.

Echoes of Atlantis: Crones, Templars and the Lost Continent (Templars in America Series Book 6) another David S Brody. This series deals with settlers, explorers, artifacts and Templars - all in the pre Columbian period.


Atlantis Lost (A James Acton Thriller, #21) (James Acton Thrillers)
J. Robert Kennedy
Archaeology Professor James Acton has a knack for getting into trouble…

The mysteries of yesterday demand to be solved, but in the world of Archaeology Professor James Acton, sometimes it's safer to leave the past alone. Enter a world where the past and present confront each other, where friends and enemies aren’t always clear, where history invades the present with a vengeance, and where no one man can survive without the help of the woman he loves.

There are 32 of these so far. High Adventure. These two end up at the Vatican often enough that the Vatican security folks duck when they see them coming. They also have a Delta Force team at their beck and call.

The third series: the Sean Wyatt Archaeological Thrillers by Ernest Dempsey Each book deals with a race to find a particular artifact or treasure, very nasty enemies, secret societies, conspiracies. These are edge of the seat up all night books. There are 21 Sean Wyatt books plus two other series. I have several that I need to read.

A blurb from book one "The Secret of the Stones": (this is book one of a trilogy actually)
THE GREATEST WANT OF MAN ISN'T WEALTH OR POWER. IT'S IMMORTALITY.

After a historian is murdered while investigating an ancient text, a former government agent learns his best friend has also gone missing. He soon discovers his friend has been abducted in order to uncover a 4000 year old mystery buried deep in the southeastern United States.

If this secret is uncovered, it could bring about a pandemic unlike anything the world has ever seen.

And that's exactly what one man wants. So he can remake the human race in his image.

Welcome to the International Archaeological Agency.
