 Description                                                       

The Atlantis Plague, published in November 2013, is a sequel to A.G. Riddle's blockbuster bestselling novel, The Atlantis Gene. Plague is the second book in The Origin Mystery trilogy that has sold over 3 million copies worldwide in 20 languages. This sequel is also filled with real science and history with shocking plot twists and revelation that keeps its reader stay up late to find out what the Immari have in store for David, Kate, and Dorian.

In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality that the human race is standing on the brink of extinction. A Pandemic, unlike any before, is sweeping the globe. Nearly a billion people are already dead--those the Plague doesn't kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve and the rest devolves. 

The race to stop the Atlantis Plague has begun. As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. A clandestine clique has spent millennia planning for this moment. Industrialized nations have the offer of miracle drug, orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world. But, Orchids treat the symptoms of the plague and merely buy time but never cure the disease. 

Immari has a different approach to the plague: 'Do nothing, let it run its course'. The Immari envision a world populated by genetically superior survivors-- a new human race, ready to fulfill its destiny. With the control of the world population hanging in the balance, the Orchid Alliance and the Imaari descend into open warfare. Kate Warner, the geneticist, alone holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the Atlantis Plague. Finding a cure is the last hope for humanity. Her journey takes her across the new wasteland of Europe and northern Africa, but it's her research into the past that takes her where she never expected to go...And setting it right may require a sacrifice she never imagined.

"This is apocalyptic Sci-Fi at its best."-- Daily Mail on The Origin Mystery trilogy
