Lamar Jimmerson is the leader of the Gnomon Society, the international fraternal order dedicated to preserving the arcane wisdom of the lost city of Atlantis. Stationed in France in 1917, Jimmerson comes across a little book crammed with Atlantean puzzles, Egyptian riddles, and extended alchemical metaphors. It's the Codex Pappus—the sacred Gnomon text. Soon he is basking in the lore of lost Atlantis, convinced that his mission on earth is to administer to and extend the ranks of the noble brotherhood.

Sometimes, a novel is misunderstood and under-appreciated in its time. In this case, I think it got exactly the lukewarm reception it deserved. Later generations inexplicably came to see in it a comic brilliance. This may say more about the paucity of contemporary comic novels than the actual quality of this one.
What if “The Illuminatius Trilogy” was boring?
