About Ark of the Apocalypse
Earth is on the verge of becoming a dead
planet.
The polar ice caps melted long ago, and
it’s been decades since the last raindrop fell. Ocean levels rise a dozen
meters, and forest fires rage on a global scale. Eleven billion people dying of
thirst wage water wars against each other as extinction looms.
Humanity needs a new planet. As Earth
deteriorates, the nation states desperately work together to build a mechanism
for recolonization. And so the Magellan II is born, the first starship capable
of interstellar travel.
The future of the human race is tasked to
ten thousand colonists-now homeless but for the vastness of space and the decks
of Magellan II. A distant planet offers hope of survival, but it’s a strange,
watery world inhabited by giant reptiles.
Humanity is starting over, but survival
isn’t guaranteed.
Praise for The Ark of the Apocalypse
Rating: 5 out of 5. Each new and imaginative chapter opened doors
to situations and realities that were impeccably crafted as this epic tale
unfolded. It is hard for me to review this book in detail without spoiling the
ever expanding plot. If you’ve ever wondered what a hybrid book encapsulating
and blending the visions of Ray Bradbury, Tom Clancy and J R R Tolkien would be
like, read this novel. Amazon

Rating:
5 out of 5. I was spellbound the entire
time. Exquisitely written beautifully edited. A must read. I finished it in 3
days. It was impossible to put it down. And now I’m left feeling bereft because
book 2 is not out yet. Amazon
review
Rating: 5 out of 5. The many characters are properly fleshed out
and I was on the edge of my seat all the way until the end of the book. It has
an ending that rounds of the story well, while leaving plenty of space for
one’s imagination to create a vast number of follow-up scenarios. Absolutely
fantastic! Amazon
