Acclaimed "New York Times" bestselling novelists Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens once again bring their unique blend of relentless suspense and cutting-edge science to a page-turning story of adventure that spans the globe and millennia of human history, racing from long-buried ruins in Cornwall and the casinos of Atlantic City, to the ancient caves of the legendary White Island itself. With a mystery more profound than Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", and scientific speculation more provocative than Michael Crichton's "Next", "The White Island" is a ground-breaking novel that goes beyond wild theories of ancient astronauts and sunken empires to suggest a startling new vision of the birth - and future - of human civilization.
