All Atlantis seeks the Jewel of Dunamis, which legend claims can overcome any enemy. Grayson James, human agent of the ultrasecret Otherworld Bureau of Investigation, has orders to keep it from the wrong hands—or destroy it. What he know is that Jewel is a woman, not a stone! But once he meets this precious gem, destroying her is the last thing on his mind….

Jewel, part goddess, part prophet, needs Gray's help to win her freedom. Gray needs wisdom to navigate monster-ridden Atlantis. But need blossoms into passionate love as they battle demons, dragons and vampires—and fight for a future that seems impossible….

An ancient organization more powerful than the federal government has targeted Washington. They'll stop at nothing to destroy the republic and raise an empire.

The adventure begins with a mysterious military burial at Arlington National Cemetery and a shocking legacy that has explosive implications for America's existence. Archaeologist Conrad Yeats discovers in his father's tombstone the key to a centuries-old warning built into the very design of Washington, D.C. Major monuments along the National Mall are astronomically aligned and are about to "lock" with the stars at a date foreseen by the Founding Fathers. Along with Serena Serghetti, a beautiful Vatican linguist with secrets of her own, Yeats explores the hidden world beneath the capital in a deadly race to save it. America has a date with destiny, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

In Antarctica, a glacial earthquake swallows up a team of scientists...and exposes a mysterious monument older than the Earth itself.

In Peru, archaeologist Dr. Conrad Yeats is apprehended by U.S. Special Forces...to unlock the final key to the origins of the human race.

In Rome, the pope summons environmental activist Dr. Serena Serghetti to the Vatican...and reveals a terrifying vision of apocalyptic disaster.

In space, a weather satellite reveals four massive storms forming around the South Pole...and three U.S. spy satellites disappear from orbit.

These are the end times, when the legends of a lost civilization and the prophecies of the world's great religions lead a man and a woman to a shattering discovery that will change the fate of humankind. This is the ultimate voyage, a journey to the center of time, as awe-inspiring as the dawn of man--and as inevitable as doomsday. This is RAISING ATLANTIS....

De vroegere topagent van de Franse Geheime Dienst, Paco Ribarez twijfelt aan zijn eigen verstand als hij op een nacht in de heldere maneschijn, een op een mens gelijkend wezen over de vlakte van het Spaanse land ziet zweven. Ook Pietro Germani, behorend tot de vaste staf van de Euro.5, de superraket van de Europese Coalitie, is getuige van dit onverklaarbaar gebeuren. Het codetelegram, dat Pietro germani ontvangt, doet hem met grote spoed terugkomen naar de Ardèche, de basis van de Euro.5. De Euro.5 wordt te hulp geroepen en voor een ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige opdracht ingezet. Nauwelijks is deze uitgevoerd of een nieuw alarmerend bericht doet de Euro.5 naar de Azoren snellen.
