The Oracle of Atlantis

But rest is not in the cards for Charlie. Distressed by the destruction of the Atlantean base, Charlie fears his parents, having disappeared, are gone forever. With Uncle Merl held captive by the enigmatic super-Atlantean, Nimue, Charlie becomes the heir to Merl’s vast fortune. Despite unimaginable wealth and power, Charlie is at a loss as to what his next move should be and how he can help the people who matter most to him. But then the kidnapping of his girlfriend Rhea and the revelation that his parents are alive in ancient Greece charges Charlie with a new mission.

Charlie’s quest takes him and his friends into the past on an adventure reminiscent of the heroes of ancient legend where he must battle or outwit Lemurians and their hideous creations to save his parents, Rhea, and the world.
