In The Hunt for Atlantis, did you enjoy ...

... a clear, clue-to-clue mission to solve an ancient enigma while racing ruthless rivals?

Map of Bones by James Rollins

If you loved how Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase pursued Atlantis one breadcrumb at a time—decoding inscriptions, diving into booby‑trapped ruins, and outrunning mercenaries—then Map of Bones will hit the same sweet spot. Rollins sends Sigma Force on a breakneck hunt sparked by a church massacre and a stolen relic, leaping from forensic puzzles to explosive set pieces with the same goal-driven momentum that powered Nina and Eddie’s quest.

... nonstop, high-octane action set pieces propelling a treasure-hunt mystery?

Ice Station by Matthew Reilly

Miss the breathless pace of The Hunt for Atlantis—from ambushes to last‑second escapes, with Eddie muscling through firefights while Nina unlocks the next clue? Ice Station is pure adrenaline. When a discovery under Antarctic ice triggers a multi-national scramble, Captain Shane Schofield dives into relentless, inventive combat sequences that deliver the same pedal‑to‑the‑floor energy you felt during Nina and Eddie’s globe‑spanning gauntlet.

... the globe-trotting conspiracy that spans secret histories and landmark locations?

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

If the sweep of Nina and Eddie’s journey—decoding ancient clues and hopping from museums to deadly dig sites—was your favorite part, The Da Vinci Code mirrors that epic scope. Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu sprint through European capitals, unpacking encoded symbols and secret societies with the same big-canvas reach and ticking-clock intensity that made the Atlantis chase so compulsively readable.

... an archaeological thriller built around the Atlantis legend and real-world science?

Atlantis by David Gibbins

If the mythic hook grabbed you—the way Nina connects Plato’s legend to tangible ruins and modern science—then Atlantis doubles down on that blend. Marine archaeologist Jack Howard hunts for the same fabled civilization via underwater excavations, ancient inscriptions, and perilous dives, delivering the scholarly sleuthing and hazardous fieldwork that made the Wilde–Chase expedition so addictive.

... a fiery scholar–soldier partnership that grows from friction into trust?

The Alchemist's Secret by Scott Mariani

If you were hooked by the spark between Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase—the clash of academic insight and ex‑SAS muscle evolving into mutual reliance—try The Alchemist’s Secret. Former soldier Ben Hope teams with a brilliant historian on a perilous hunt tied to Nicolas Flamel, and their banter, protect‑and‑decode dynamic, and gradual bond echo the relationship arc that made The Hunt for Atlantis so fun.
