I found this first book in the Thomas Lourds series very amateurish. Lourds is a bad cross between Ian Fleming's James Bond and Dan Brown's Robert Langdon.
Lourds finds himself in a race with a megalomaniac Catholic cardinal to find the lost continent of Atlantis. I did enjoy the author's views on the importance of language as well as the African history he included, but I tired quickly of the evil cardinal, his crew of deadly assassins, and Lourds' bed hopping.
