Wow, two for five here, "Assignment In Eternity" by Heinlein which is 
the prequel for "Friday", and "Operation Time Search" by Norton.

"Triplanetary" by E.E. Doc Smith spends a chapter on Atlantis being 
destroyed by nuclear weapons over 10,000 years ago in a previous 
civilization of Earth.

"Perry Rhodan" spends many books talking about a survivor of Atlantis 
named "Atlan" and how Atlantis was destroyed.
