Atlantis Found

September 1858: An Antarctic whaler stumbles upon an aged wreck, its grisly frozen crew guarding crates of odd antiquities. March 2001: As a team of anthropologists gazes in awe at a wall of strange inscriptions, a blast seals them within the Colorado rock. April 2001: A research ship manned by Dirk Pitt and members of the U.S. National Underwater and Marine Agency is set upon and nearly sunk by a vessel that should have died fifty-six years before. Pitt knows that these incidents are somehow connected, and his investigations soon land him deep in an ancient mystery with very modern consequences . . .
