That being said, about half way through when the author weaves through scientific and genetic theories it hit me, David is there for us, the readers, since everyone else in the story are already familiar those concepts, and this is the way the author chose to explain it. Strangely, the only fleshed out character is the one who wrote a diary.Īt first I thought the character of David Vale was completely wrong, he does not talk, or think, like any soldier I know. Whether or not he chose correctly is up to the individual, I would have been disappointed if I didn’t know that other books exist. Riddle chose to err on the side of explaining the theories and building his story. The characters in the book have some growth to do, but this is a series of six books, I can only assume that Mr. I actually had to go and do my own research because the theory was so far-fetched. I specifically enjoyed the author’s weaving of scientific and geological occurrences, like the Genetic Bottleneck theory and The Youngest Toba eruption which had nearly wiped out all humanity 70,000 years ago. It’s a fast story, which could be confusing do to the quick timeline and point of view changes. Riddle is a fast thriller, which stops here and there to explain historical occurrences and scientific theories. The Atlantis Gene (The Origin Mystery #1) by A. Riddle’s debut novel after working as an IT entrepreneur. Riddle is the first book in The Origin Mystery series, following an autism researchers that identified a gene which could be the salvation of the human race, about to be extinct.
