And yet, \u003ci\u003eAtlantis Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e, with its prehistoric monsters, futuristic machines and subterranean lost civilisations, stands in stark contrast with \u003ci\u003eS.O.S. Meteors\u003c\/i\u003e, the action of which takes place entirely within Paris and the surrounding countryside. A falsely mundane environment that demonstrates Jacobs's ability to summon adventure anywhere!
