About the Book

Kevin Emerson's The Lost Code, first in the Alanteans series, tells the story of 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 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. He will also have to leave the bio-dome that keeps him safe and brave the post-apocalyptic wasteland beyond. Teens fascinated by the dark dystopian world of Divergent and mythology of the Percy Jackson series will want to read The Lost Code.

Review :
"In a future world where our atmosphere has been destroyed, Owen, a normal average teenage boy goes to an old-style summer camp. He nearly drowns but develops gills and finds out he is one of the chosen descendants of the ancient Atlanteans. The Lost Code is full of fast-paced action, mystery, and that right mix of fantasy/sci-fi. Readers who loved Percy Jackson or The Ranger's Apprentice will love this older read and will be waiting impatiently for Book Two of The Atlanteans." - Becky Anderson, Anderson's Bookshop "The dystopian landscape of a world decimated by climate change would be hopeless were it not for the likes of Owen, Lilly and Leech. Readers who self-identify as lovers of adventure stories will find plenty of action, characters who are beyond brave, and technological bells and whistles, including robotic butterflies with cameras for eyes. You may hear an occasional cheer for the good guys, or an anxious "Get 'em" as your young teen reader follows the action of the defenders of Camp Eden and the world beyond. When does Book Two of the Atlanteans arrive?" - Sally Oddi, Cover to Cover Book Store "Let me start with saying THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending me The Lost Code! I was up until 2 in the morning finishing it last night, and would have happily read through the night if needed. The only word that came to mind was WOW! This book feels like the start of something huge, and I can't wait to see where the rest of this series goes. The Lost Code is absolutely worth a spot on the bookshelf next to Divergent and The Hunger Games. I'm already raving about it to the other booksellers here. Once again, thanks for sending this book -- I totally loved it." - David Bryce, Joseph-Beth Booksellers "I finished The Lost Code last night at 3AM. Believe me when I say I had no intention of staying up that late. I'd read the first half over the weekend, and once I started the second half there was no stopping the train I was on. This thing is that special. There's a ton of quirky, smart turns-of-phrase in it, bringing the book's strange world vividly alive. The heart and soul of the story is the coming-of-age part, where we get to see the boy grow into his own (maybe even mutant) skin, where he can accept his place in society and perhaps tweak it a little more to his liking if circumstances compel. This stuff is especially well told and is the thing that endears us to this protagonist, this no-longer-reluctant hero the most. That all this happens on an earth growing more inhospitable by the moment is fun pressure to have. I just loved it, and I cannot wait to introduce it to boy and girl readers. Congratulations on a great book. I cannot wait to read the next installments!" - Suzanne Perry, Secret Garden Bookshop "Okay, I couldn't put this down and found myself eking out just one more minute's worth of reading until I was late getting to work two days in a row. I LOVED it. What an amazing world Kevin has extrapolated from our own! A ruined Earth, with a few domed Edens holding the majority of the population, includes a group of children at a 20th century style summer camp. The Lost Code may scare you into leaving your car at home from now on, but you will not be able to stop reading as Owen and his friends try to save themselves and our world from certain destruction. Thanks for letting me read it. I can't wait for the rest!" - Rene Kirkpatrick, Third Place Books "Thanks so much for sending me the manuscript of The Lost Code: Book One of the Atlanteans. I really enjoyed reading it, but I really need some more pages asap. Will it be a long wait until the next one? The Lost Code was a great read with plenty of action, fantasy and plot twists. There was a good use of science to make the story plausible, but it was well balanced with mythology to give it mystery. Owen and Lilly are good strong male and female characters and are a great team to root for. The book has a great pace and I was hooked on page one. I think this book has a good mix of everything needed to capture young teen readers. I look forward to hand selling this one.... " - Jennifer Brenninger, The Doylestown Bookshop "The ending of the book leaves plenty of room for the sequel, and readers will likely be intrigued enough to continue." - School Library Journal "The Lost Code will satisfy teens' thirst for post-apocalyptic dystopian novels with just the right amount of suspense, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, and romance, but without the brutal violence found in other stories. Readers will eagerly devour Owen's tale and look forward to its continuation." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "This is a perfect book by Kevin Emerson for all those readers who want to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins but find the murder and violence in those books too heavy and graphic for them. Kevin Emerson's book will especially grab the most reluctant reader and take him for an adventurous mythic ride to the finish line. Then this reader will be demanding the sequel as he reads the last page of The Lost Code! I can't wait to hand sell The Lost Code to my customers...thank you again for this privilege." - Sue Nevins, Mockingbird Books "A smart dystopian adventure packed with mind-blowing fantasy and characters you'll love." - Michael Grant, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Gone series "The Lost Code will stop your heart with scenes of passion and power, as it draws you in to a group of kids who are the only hope in a dying world of artifice and desperation. What happens to them is like nothing you've ever read." - Peter Lerangis, NYT Bestselling author of two books in the 39 Clues series, and co-author of Somebody, Please Tell Me Who I Am "The broad strokes of conflict and characterization make this a movie-ready action flick at heart; with an easy romance and a social world primarily built on well-trodden summer camp tropes, it's a lighter alternative to the bleak post-apocalyptic waterworld of Bertagna's Exodus or Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker (BCCB 6/10) and an accessible entree to the dystopia trend." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The broad strokes of conflict and characterization make this a movie-ready action flick at heart...an accessible entree to the dystopia trend." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The high-stakes narrative moves forward with momentum, and a romance between Owen and Lilly is gracefully unveiled." - Publishers Weekly
