Off the coast of Antarctica, a research vessel discovers a mysterious structure buried deep within an iceberg. Entombed for thousands of years, it can't
possibly be man-made. But a secretive and ruthless cabal think they know what it is... and what it means.
The Immari have spent millennia preparing for the return of humanity's ancient enemy. Faced with an extinction-level threat, they believe mankind's only
chance of survival will mean sacrificing 99.9% of the planet's population. It's a price the Immari are prepared to pay.
Geneticist Kate Warner and intelligence agent David Vale may have a chance to avert the looming catastrophe, but only if they can decode the secrets of the Atlantis Gene and unlock the truth about humanity's origins.

From the author of Elena Knows, finalist for the 2022 International
Booker Prize 20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns
to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt and
isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even
the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but
she’s still the same woman and it’s still the same place, and
as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide. A Little
Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy
line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and
small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place
she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters
and unanticipated revelations show her, and us, that sometimes life
is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it’s nothing more than a
little luck.
