A search for Atlantis across the Sahara

Dylan Clarke’s unfinished PhD takes a back seat as his fixation on Atlantis draws him into a nonprofit well-drilling project in the Sahara. He hopes the work will bring him closer to his former girlfriend, Holly, and to the Eye of the Sahara, which he believes may be Atlantis. By the time he reaches Africa, Holly has returned to the United States, while Dylan is committed to staying for six months. The story traces his journey from campus life through Egypt, Algeria, and Mauritania, then back home, combining a personal pursuit with a route across several countries.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fictional quests tied to the mystery of Atlantis.

Book overview

Dylan Clarke has become obsessed with Atlantis.

 

All Dylan needs to complete his PhD is to write his dissertation, but he is preoccupied with Atlantis. Then his former girlfriend Holly shows up. She has been working for a non-profit that drills community wells in the Sahara. Dylan signs up. This would put him closer to Holly and to the Eye of the Sahara-a site he believes was the location of Atlantis. But when he arrives in Africa, Holly is no longer there! Her contract ended, and she returned to the US. But he's contractually stuck there for six months. Will he at least be able to visit the Eye of the Sahara while he is there?

 

Follow Dylan from campus life, to Egypt, Algeria, Mauritania, and home, again.
