A MODERN-DAY INTERNATIONAL THRILLER HAILED BY JAMES
ROLLINS AS “ONE OF THE BEST DEBUTS I’VE READ THIS YEAR . . .
HERE IS A NOVEL THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOLDING YOUR BREATH UNTIL
THE LAST PAGE IS TURNED.” When brilliant archaeologist
Dilara Kenner is contacted by Sam Watson, an old family
friend who says that he has crucial information about her
missing father, Dilara abandons her Peruvian dig and rushes
to Los Angeles to meet him. But at the airport, Sam speaks
instead of Noah’s Ark—the artifact her father had long been
searching for—and the possible death of billions. Before Sam
can explain, he collapses. With his dying breath, he urges
Dilara to find Tyler Locke—a man she’s never heard of. Two
days later Dilara manages to track down former combat
engineer Tyler Locke on an oil rig off Newfoundland. Her
helicopter transport goes down well short of the oil rig’s
landing pad and Dilara and those aboard nearly drown. No
sooner is Dilara safely on the rig than she convinces Tyler
the crash was no accident. Tyler agrees to help her uncover
the secret behind Noah's Ark and, more important, her
father's disappearance. As the picture begins to come into
focus, they realize they have just seven days to find the
Ark before its secret is used to wipe out civilization once
again. With a chilling premise and a blistering pace, Boyd Morrison
combines all the best elements of a blockbuster thriller
with an intelligent and fascinating exploration of one of
the Old Testament’s great mysteries.
