What to expect
A widower is set off on an amazing adventure by a man claiming to be a god in this epic fantasy tale that reads like Indiana Jones meets Clash of the Titans. Follow Dan Ryan through Egypt, Greece, and the Mexican jungle as he unlocks the keys to finding the lost continent of Atlantis and the gods imprisoned there.

From the debut of the Greek god Hermes to the pits of Hades and the rise of Atlantis, Ancient Rising puts you on course for action-packed fun.
