LEGACY OF ATLANTIS
The Quest for Atlantis Begins on the Moon
​
Uprooted after the disappearance of his parents, Charlie Thomas moves to the Moon to live with his Uncle Merl—only to discover that “Merl” is actually Merlin the Magician . . . and that Charlie is an heir to Atlantis. Reeling, Charlie must adjust to his new environs, make some friends, and connect with Rhea, a girl he really likes.
But it could never be that easy for Charlie.
On a field trip to the Lunar surface, Charlie, Rhea, and his new best friend, Jamie, uncover the body of an ancient Atlantean astronaut. And when agents from the lost land of Lemuria discover who Charlie is, he is forced to flee the Moon.
The chase takes Charlie and Merl back to Earth. There, an attack on their ship leaves Charlie alone in an old growth forest in the Pacific Northwest. Lost and not sure what to do, Charlie is rescued by AB, a pipe-smoking sasquatch whose perspective on the world is unlike any Charlie has ever encountered. But Charlie is going to need much more if he is going to fulfill a destiny he has only recently discovered.
Threats are everywhere, but Charlie must learn to control his nascent Atlantean abilities with no time to spare. For he has discovered a Lemurian plan to use an ancient Atlantean artifact to destroy most of the Earth and enslave the remnants of humanity—and Charlie and his team are the only ones with a hope of stopping them.
Bursting with adventure, spirit, and camaraderie, Legacy of Atlantis is a utterly new take on a legendary tale, a story both timeless and as fresh as today.

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.

Global warming, monster hurricanes, skyrocketing oil prices, Arab terrorism and government conspiracies; that’s what Jason Graham must face in order to save himself, his family, his country and the planet.
Reviews
The Climate Institute (www.climate.org) recently endorsed Runaway, calling it “engrossing” and “brilliantly done” and rating it well ahead of Michael Crichton’s State of Fear and the movie, The Day After Tomorrow.
John Topping has transformed cold scientific possibility into a horrifying and addictively readable Armageddon scenario. Fascinating characters negotiate a maze of ego, power, and bone numbing fear as the earth spins toward a slow, agonizing death.

Reviews
"I think the book is great. My main gauge is whether or not I look forward to getting back to it if I'm otherwise occupied. Well, I couldn't wait to continue reading no matter what else I was doing. Fabulous idea and story. Some great characters and I believe your writing is somehow 'crisper' which is a good thing. If there's any justice at all, this will be published and rapidly climb the bestseller lists. It's certainly as good as the tomes put out by Ludlum, Cussler, Clancy, et al. I'd think this would be a sure sale to the Hollywood boys. It's a fantastic read."

A privileged football prodigy with wealth, power, and arrogance behind him believes the world exists for his pleasure. When Rocco Vitali joins a European school trip through Greece and Turkey, ancient ruins, mythic legends, and beautiful strangers seem like nothing more than a playground for his appetites. But in places where gods were once worshiped and oracles whispered fate, the past is never entirely buried.
​
As Rocco’s journey carries him from Delphi to Cyprus and finally to Istanbul, strange omens begin to surface—prophecies, serpents, and a mysterious woman who seems to appear exactly when he least expects her. What begins as a flirtation soon turns into something far older and darker than modern life can explain. In lands where myth and reality blur, Rocco may discover that the ancient gods still keep their accounts—and they always collect their debts.
