The first novel starts out at a slower pace than the second. This is due in part to the
need to orient the reader with the new world they have just entered. Chapter
Three (Leaving Sahada) gives you a glimpse at one of the continents surrounding
Atlantis, moves you across its southern end, and drops you at its western
islands. Chapter Six (Voyage to Atlantis) gives you some insight into how the
provinces (or etruscans) are divided up. It also introduces you to its largest
city, Tyrrhenian, located between the southern etruscan Mestor and the northern
territory of Ampheres. Just in case any of these directions have you slightly
confused, a map has been included in each volume as a reference.
There are many theories and archeological finds that place
Atlantis in various locations all over the world. An absolute verified location
for this lost continent remains for a future generation to discover. That said,
I have purposely designed the maps and descriptions with ambiguous terms,
leaving it up to the reader to determine in their own opinion where the continent might have been located. While
I drew my version of the actual continent from one of the oldest surviving maps (1669) showing
Atlantis and its islands, I did not include the same surrounding continents,
which place it in the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, I used vague surrounding
continents which may also be in keeping with some biblical-scholar's beliefs that
the continents were in different formations prior to the world-wide flood.
