Charles Brokaw

Charles Brokaw is the pseudonym for an anonymous college educator, academic, and author from the Midwest of the United States. While not much is known about the enigmatic writer, we know that he has a fascination with archeology, human accomplishment, and history, and has had a rich and varied life. He is best known for the Thomas Lourds series of novels that has four titles of which the first, The Atlantis Code is the most popular. He began researching the first novel when he saw an article about the ancient lost city of Atlantis in a scholarly journal. According to the author, the article pointed out that some ruins in Spain had a striking resemblance to Plato’s description of ancient Atlantis, and satellite photos in the piece confirmed this. Given that the ruins were in a highly protected and popular national park, he thought their excavation was not even remotely possible. The realization got him thinking of what kind of treasures could be lying under the ruins. His thoughts of the riches that lay in the park is what gave birth to, The Atlantis Code, his first ever fantasy fiction thriller.
