Thomas Greanias

Thomas Greanias, born in Illinois in 1965, is an American author recognized for his narrative explorations of ancient civilizations and apocalyptic themes. His most prominent work is the Conrad Yeats series, which follows an archeologist on a quest to uncover humanity's origins and avert global catastrophe. Yeats is often accompanied by Serena Serghetti, a Vatican linguist.

The initial novel in the series, "Raising Atlantis," was first made available through Greanias's website before its ebook and paperback releases in 2005. He continued this series with "The Atlantis Prophecy" (2008) and "The Atlantis Revelation" (2009), though the original plan was for seven books. "The Atlantis Prophecy" achieved recognition by appearing on The New York Times Best Seller list for mass market paperbacks. Greanias also expanded the narrative universe with "The Virgin City" (2007), a prequel to the main series, and related short stories like "The Virgin Sky" and "The Virgin Sea," which delve deeper into the characters and timeline.

The Conrad Yeats series forms the core of Thomas Greanias's literary output, centering on an archeologist whose mission involves understanding the origins of humankind and preventing its destruction. This grand narrative is often enriched by the presence of Serena Serghetti, a linguist affiliated with the Vatican. The series began with "Raising Atlantis," which saw an initial release on the author's website in 2005, followed by digital and print publications later that year. Greanias later introduced "The Virgin City," a story set chronologically before "Raising Atlantis," and short stories that explore the characters and timeline further, including "The Virgin Sky" and "The Virgin Sea." The series also includes "The Atlantis Prophecy" and "The Atlantis Revelation," with plans for more installments originally envisioned.

Greanias's work often delves into themes of ancient mysteries, prophecy, and the potential end of the world, particularly within the Conrad Yeats universe. The success of "The Atlantis Prophecy," which appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list, highlights the public's engagement with these subjects. Beyond the primary Conrad Yeats arc, Greanias has explored related narratives through "The Virgin Mysteries" series. He has also branched into other series, such as "Dominus Dei," "Sam Decker," and "The Alignment," the latter of which connects to the mobile game Ingress. Standalone novels like "The War Cloud" and "Red Glare" further showcase his range as a storyteller.
