Summary: truly spell-binding account of the ever mysterious Atlantis
Review: This book is about a group of normal people on the outside, but on the inside they are mind-reading physics who are of Atlantean blood, but they don't know that. Sam Smith, one of Atlanteans is magically transported back into time when the Atlanteans ruled the world. One problem, a group of crazed people are set out to kill every last one of these people. This mystery/novel is a romantic, suspensful story of one man setting out to change the world with only two obstacles true love and murder.

Summary: I loved this book. One of the best I have ever read.
Review: This book is haunting. It echoes in your thoughts long after the adventure of reading it is over. The story and symbolism in this book are sheer genius. Suspense, mystery, drama, good and evil battling through time, aliens, gods, psychics--this book has it all! The ideas in this book resonate with our times and culture very well. I bought several to give to my book-reading friends. I can't imagine anyone who likes to read great stories not liking this book.

Summary: Atlantis Sinks - Plotline Treads Water!
Review: This engaging enough Atlantis fantasy reads extremely well for the first half, bogs down badly in time-traveling/reincarnation problems for the remainder, and suffers from a weak deus ex machina ending.Orphan Sam Smith has suffered from psychic phenomena his entire life, unsure how to interpret it and frequently thought crazy by those who witness it. Adopted by seaman Darian McCabe, Sam hears a siren's voice calling to him from the underwater reefs, and cannot resist it. He retrieves an oddly shaped diamond from the ocean bottom - and his life will never be the same. A wealthy industrialist wants the diamond. He belongs to the Consortium, a group who tracks down psychics with Sam's unusual blood type and kills them. The Consortium knows that those like Sam are reincarnated Atlanteans, and fears their potential power should they ever come together. The Consortium heads are aware reincarnates, themselves - of those who were responsible for the original decline of the civilization of Atlantis. Up to this point in the story, everything is quite gripping and exciting, but then Sam makes another dive, travels through a time portal, and ends up in Atlantis before its fall. His modern-day doctor, Cory Althorpe, is the reincarnation of the woman who was known as the goddess Athena, an Atlantean noblewoman whose voice was the siren call fetching Sam back. The two fall in love, endure some ugly adventures in the shifting Atlantean political base with Hades gaining ascendancy over Zeus and Poseidon, and escape to their separate destinies - which, of course, again intertwine, in the future - before Sam and the other Atlantean reincarnates in his own time gather, regroup, and dispatch their enemies with what might as well be a magic wand. The first part of the novel reads like an action-adventure/spy thriller, and is very good. The second half reads like a soap opera, and is too clever for its own good - it delivers too many pat explanations for the gods, the origins of various Flood myths, and the like. The psychic-bloodline angle is quite interesting, but makes most of the past Atlantean plot fairly unbelievable - these "gods" would sooner (and better) have utilized their power, and if not, the explanation for why not is simply not apparent. Not a bad read, just be aware what you're getting into before you start.

Summary: wonderfully entertaining
Review: This is a another great book by Cochran. She cleverly intertwines modern life and ancient history, and I loved her use of intertextuality. I had to read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Definitely a good read.

Summary: Wow, couldn't stop reading this novel. . . . . .
Review: Try reading this one on the beach! You will get the shivers too. I loved the whole story line about Sam, the orphan who is taken in by the old sailer, Darian. You too will try and figure out the connection between them and the other characters they encounter. The suspense about the other Rememberers fates was gripping. I love the way the story ties into Atlantis, the Greek Gods and the state of the current world as it relates to the lost world of Atlantis.
