DATELINE ATLANTIS is a contemporary fantasy featuring a female Indiana Jones who dives underwater and accidentally finds what just might be the lost world of Atlantis. After she and her photographer document fabulous pyramids under the Caribbean sea, they return to their newspaper in the Los Angeles area, only to have all their evidence stolen. The sea rolls back and reclaims the ruins, and their photographer is kidnapped. Someone doesn’t want the undersea world found.
The simple news assignment becomes more complicated with each turn and takes the Amaryllis Lang (pen name Amy Quigley) on a whirlwind investigation to Chicago, Florida, Mexico, and the Bahamas.
All along, Amaryllis deals with a cold-case murder, a red-hot editor eager for a Pulitzer, two men who desire her love, deadly traps, and a chance to re-write history.
Dateline Atlantis eBook Lynn Voedisch
I found this to be a well written adventure story, the adventures and thrills ranging from Los Angeles to the Yucatan to Chicago to Bahamas to Florida. Characters were nicely developed, suspenseful, creative. Come on, this is FICTION! It does not have to be based on true facts to be a good read. Something about the writing style prevented me from getting so into the story that I found it hard to put down. Nor was I anxious to take it up, but I did enjoy reading it, it was fun with exciting cliff hangers and I wanted to see how it ended. This point is very minor, but the author needs to learn that SCUBA equipment does not have tubes. It has hoses. Neither do the air tanks have meters, they have pressure gauges. There are dive meters attached to the gear that are like computers, but the diver does not look at the "tank meter". But, that is minor, as I said. At least she did not call them "oxygen tanks" like so many others have! I recommend this for a run fiction adventure/thriller read (unless your fictional book requirements limit your tastes to non-fiction with a smidgen of fiction in them). Enjoy! I did.Product details

Dateline Atlantis eBook Lynn Voedisch Reviews
I like the idea of underwater ruins around current islands that open up options in history. The reason I gave the story 3 stars is because the author wrote it in present tense. That means everything is happening now. Just didn't always make sense to me.
This book was interesting, but not a page turner for me. Took me a while to get through it. I liked the idea behind it, but the characters weren't very deep.
It was a fun hypothetical book about ancient civilizations i.e. Atlantis. The story flows well and is exciting to read. Overall, I am ranking is 4/5 since it is simply "not awesome."
DID NOT like the writing style the author used to write. I deleated this book after starting it.The way it was written was hard to follow and SOME authors insist on writing this way.
A strong female protagonist, a rousing mystery that brings the legend of Atlantis into the 21st century, tropical locales, handsome love interests, and several narrow escapes this book has just about everything one could wish for in a good read. It would be a great "beach book" for a summertime getaway. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if I did pace myself by taking several days to read it instead of swallowing it in one gulp.
It was like a modern day Indiana Jones story with an heroine involved in several interconnected storylines. The characters were well thought out and although some of the scenarios that took place were a bit far fetched they were well woven into the story. I think this story would appeal to people on many levels, there is mystery, mayhem, romance, adventure, exotic locations. A great escape.
I love reading books about archeology and places that may or may not have been! The cover caught my eye because it is close to some of James Rollins standalone adventures, and since earlier this year I had been left wanting by a promise of underwater archeology in the infamous Byzantine Gold disaster I was really needing a good one, and I found one with Lynn’s novel.
Granted, it is not a group of archeologists it is a journalist who really wants to land THEE story of a lifetime! AP pickup, pulitzer prize etc… Conspiracy, ancient ruins which seem to rise from the sea, buried caves full of pyramids and a gem which speaks of the past. As she tries to find the pieces to put the past together for a story, she has to find her own pieces of her own past. Yep it is one of those books! Fun!
The story really has it all for an action /adventure, but labeled as a contemporary fantasy! The fantasy aspect comes in with the crystal she finds which speaks to her as she dreams. I love the fact that is full of a secret kabbalah of scientists, academics and religious leaders who will go to any means to prevent the truth of Atlantis coming to light…including… ohhhhhhh nope! NADA!… spoilers, Sweetie!
Spoilers-sweetie….
It was a fun read and it read fast. Perfect for this summer. The authors journalism background really lead strength to much of the story. But the one thing that journalists need to do, which is TELL, she overcame and she did a wonderful job of SHOWING us the world that her protagonists discovered beneath the waves. It is a solid 4 out f 5 stars for me!
A few notes I want to bring up (may contain tiny peek-a-boo spoilers due to my opinion of the character) I am really glad I did not have expectations of a female Indiana Jones because I would have been upset. This is in no way one of those stories. She is not in anyway an adventurous archaeologist, she is a journalist. The crystal speaking through dreams etc is where the fantasy aspect comes from and though it took away from the story for me, I can give it props as a good story device to bring about a mystery from the past.
The initial “guide” (Gabriel) who ended up being a misogynistic jerk who I wanted to drown, was a good character who created a lot of intrigue, but … in truth? The best part of this was not the budding love story, not the lost city of atlantis, which seems almost to be the backdrop, but the implications of what happens if something is discovered which can change the foundations of faith’s toehold in what was suppose to be empirical evidence going down the toilet when the origins of “man” change? Oh… and of COURSE THE GOVERNMENT IS INVOLVED *giggling* LOVE IT!
Take it for what it is, a story. It is labeled as fantasy, so a bit of dispelling believe is needed! For me? I liked it! It was great! I had a fun time reading it and honestly read it from cover to cover for three days. That in itself says a lot. But it as not a fantasy for me, it was more of a conspiracy based mystery with love, intrigue, adventure, heartbreak, and personal growth.. with the Christian cult leaders, academia zealists and the government mucking it up for everyone. Again FUN!
I found this to be a well written adventure story, the adventures and thrills ranging from Los Angeles to the Yucatan to Chicago to Bahamas to Florida. Characters were nicely developed, suspenseful, creative. Come on, this is FICTION! It does not have to be based on true facts to be a good read.
