JACK HOWARD NOVELS

Over 3 million copies sold in thirty languages

The gallery below shows the UK covers of my eleven Jack Howard novels so far, from the most recent, Atlantis Legacy, published in 2024, to the earliest, Atlantis, published in 2005. The first ten novels were published in the UK by Headline and in the US by Bantam and then St Martin’s Press. The latest novel Atlantis Legacy is published by my company, Throne Tree Productions, and is available exclusively on Amazon as an ebook and large-format paperback; you can buy it on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and other Amazon sites. the French edition, entitled L’Héritage d’Atlantis, is published by Les Escales and available in ebook and large-format paperback, with the mass-market paperback out later in 2024.

My novels have been published in more than 220 editions and thirty languages. By clicking on the covers and opening the page for each book you can find links to those editions as well as background material about the novels, images and sample chapters. You can find out about Jack Howard and his adventures as a marine archaeologist - from the discovery of Atlantis to the search for the Jewish menorah and the Arc of the Covenant, from a remote lake in Central Asia to Egypt, Rome, the Mediterranean, the sunken cenotes of Mexico and a dive inside a melting iceberg. His adventures are grounded in my real-life experiences as an archaeologist and diver - my guiding principle is that there is nothing more amazing than the reality of what archaeology has to offer, and no need to look beyond real-life possibilities. Jack, his friend Costas and their team from the International Maritime University tackle the great unsolved mysteries of the past not just with the technology that divers now have at their disposal, but also with the courage and spirit of adventure that have driven maritime explorers throughout history.

My novels have been bestsellers in many countries. Atlantis was Newsweek No 1 bestseller in Poland, and they have been top-ten bestsellers in France, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Turkey, the UK and the US, including being London Sunday Times and New York Times top-ten bestselling novels.
