Synopsis

Kevin Emerson’s The Lost Code, first in the Alanteans series, tells a story of survival in a near-future earth ravaged by global climate change. Owen Parker is about to learn that it isn’t the first time the planet has been near destruction. Owen’s ancestors were part of an ancient race with a secret history, whose advanced technology once almost destroyed the world.

With the help of a mysterious, enchanting girl named Lily, Owen will have to understand his history and his genetic code to prevent global annihilation. In this thrilling teen science fiction adventure, he will also have to leave the bio-dome that keeps him safe and brave the post-apocalyptic wasteland beyond.

Fans of the dark dystopian world of Divergent and the ancient mythology of the Percy Jackson series will be captivated by The Lost Code, a compelling YA dystopian series about climate change survival.

Can one boy decode his family’s dangerous legacy in time to save the world?

• A Post-Apocalyptic World: Explore a planet ravaged by climate change, where humanity survives in fragile bio-domes while a desolate wasteland waits outside.
• An Atlantis Retelling: Discover the truth about Owen's ancestors―an ancient, technologically advanced race from a lost civilization who nearly destroyed the world.
• A Dangerous Conspiracy: Owen's own genetic code is the key to preventing a new apocalypse, but the people in charge of his bio-dome may have their own plans for it.
• A Hint of Romance: With only a mysterious and enchanting girl named Lily to guide him, Owen must navigate not only a dying world but his own growing feelings.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

In the year 2086, Camp Eden promises summer "the way things used to be," back before the oceans rose and modern civilization sank into chaos. Located inside the EdenWest BioDome, the camp is an oasis of pine trees, cool water, and rustic charm.

But all at Camp Eden is not what it seems.

No one will know this better than fifteen-year-old Owen Parker. A strange underwater vision, even stranger wounds on Owen's neck, and a cryptic warning from the enchanting lifeguard Lilly hint at a mystery that will take Owen deep beneath Lake Eden and even deeper into the past. What he discovers could give him the chance to save the tattered planet. But first, Owen will have to escape Camp Eden alive. . . .

Kevin Emerson's thrilling novel The Lost Code is Book One of the Atlanteans series.
