Testament (Jack Howard, 9) by David Gibbins

I wanted to like this book... but didn't quite connect with any of the characters and frequently felt like it was reading a lecture on a topic

Atlantis by David Gibbins

5.5/10
A very slow start and a whiz-bang final half/third of the book.

A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks by David Gibbins

David Gibbins deep dive into maritime archaeology is masterful and entrancing-This is big history at it best. Absolutely fascinating, beautifully written, and impeccably researched.
