    The first two thirds or so of the book were great. The chapters alternate between two main characters, & we're made curious about what the relationship between the two is & what has happened/is happening to them. Once those two questions are answered, however, the story slows & becomes full of technobabble. There's a surprise ending, but by the time I got there, I was too bogged down & ready for the book to end to be shocked by it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Made for the big screen
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2013

    This review is cross-posted from Papyrus Independent Author Reviews.

    Alex Latham is hiding - from what, he doesn't understand. Why - he doesn't know. The streets are empty, but still dangerous and time seems to be running out, for him and for the Ark.

    The world of "Noah's Ark" is a multi-layered one, but it takes a while for the author to start peeling the onion. The reader is presented with an environment as familiar as the suburbs but with an eerie stillness, where one man tries to make sense of the empty houses, gangs of strangely vacant marauders and a menacing military presence.

    I liked how the author let me inhabit the space without really understanding its significance. I knew that a revelation was coming, and when it did, I was introduced to the Ark.

    I think it's probably unreasonable to delve too deeply into the details of the plot in this review, as part of the enjoyment is to experience the unveiling, but I can discuss how effective it was for me.

    I found the storyline to be clever and an interesting blend of a few science fiction sub-genres. It may not be totally original, but I think the author provided it with enough individuality for it to stand on its own.

    The mood of the first part of the story was both uneasy and confused which I thought put the reader in the perfect state to enjoy the story - off-balance. As the pieces start to fall into place, the revelations lead to more questions. The uneasiness makes way for an adrenalin rush once the two main characters meet, and from there it's a non-stop thrill ride.

    The story closes with a scene worthy of rendering on the big screen and a twist reminiscent of one of my favourites (I won't name it here).

    So with all of that good stuff, were there any issues? Well, yes. Because this story played out through two separate points of view, there was some necessary back and forth, at least until their paths converged. The combination of very short chapters and an almost religious swapping of points of view every chapter made the progress particularly frustrating in the early part of the book. I felt like I wasn't getting enough time with each character, which ended up not only making the characters feel less developed to me (rightly or wrongly), but the pace also felt a bit stop/start as a consequence.

    There are two main characters: Alex, who prowls a relatively deserted suburban wasteland and Michael, a patient or subject in an undisclosed facility.

    Because of the nature of the story, the reader doesn't really become intimately knowledgeable of either character. However, we experience what they experience and we witness the Ark through either or both pairs of eyes. I didn't really have a problem with this approach as I thought the plot was paramount in this novel, with the characters being disposable assets. I wasn't unsympathetic towards either, but I was quite happy with any eventuality that provided me with a interesting story.

    Potentially, the novel itself might have had a greater impact if a stronger connection was established with one or both of the characters, but the missed opportunity wasn't heckling from the sidelines in my reading. Perhaps others felt differently.

    Other than some early pacing issues that I've already referred to in this review, there really wasn't much to complain about with the writing in this novel. It was clear, seemed to generate the right atmosphere and was relatively error free.

    In the end, I was left with a very entertaining sci-fi post-apocalyptic thriller, with a touch of cyberpunk and a dose of zombies (of all things), conspiracy on a grand scale and a partridge in a pear tree. It's a movie I would want to go and see at the cinema.

    Interestingly, the author has started work on a second (unrelated) novel which he is posting in instalments on his website. So look him up and have a bit of a read. Regardless, you could do a lot worse than lining up "Noah's Ark" on your e-reader of choice. I certainly have no regrets.

    5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting story
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014

    This story was different in a good way. So this place makes a virtual reality for people that are selected. They go into this until earth is safe again and war or what ever is going on is over. Well chaos breaks out in the virtual reality and there is a virus spreading. It makes everyone weird looking and ultra smart and attacking others. Well even though it is a virtual reality it still affects the people in real life and they start physically changing. One of the main charters is asked to go back into the virtual world to save the person that developed the program so they can try to fix it and save the people. Mind you everyone in the virtual world is changed except the developer and the guy who is on the rescue mission. He saves him and they go on another mission to try to fix the program. There is a surprise ending, it was a great book and kept me interested throughout the whole book.

    Michael has to save Alex, a scientist, from a virtual reality trap so he can save a space ship of people. This book is way over written. The author has written paragraphs, nay, pages of extraneous descriptions which contribute nothing to story. The story moves slowly becaue of all the long descriptions. The writing is just ok and the mistakes are minimal. The characters are flat. I found myself not really caring about them at all. There are a few action scenes but they are poorly done. I skimmed a lot of the descriptions. This is not a book I could recommend.

    This science fiction / light horror book has an interesting plot with some twists and turns. However it doesn't take much time to explore the various opportunities that are presented by plot turns. As a result, it's hard to get immersed and lost in the book as the surrounding details just aren't there. As part of a lending program it's worth the read, but not on the same level as mainstream science fiction.

    The premise of his book is good and the way the story unfolds chapter to chapter, moving between prisoner's experiences was intriguing. The back and forth leads to a coming together of both story lines quite well. The ending was somewhat unexpected as you don't expect to have more than 1.
    There were some missing words here and there but none that would detract from your understanding the sentence. Also some syntax is in England English and thus can be slightly "off" for American readers. For instance tyres vs. Tires and petrol vs gasoline.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2014

    Here's an idea of the writing: I chose this rating because the writing is not good. Maybe it was written by a high school student.
    This book reads just like the above two sentences read. Stilted and unimaginative. The plot had some unexpected twists but not enough to make up for the dialog or character development or lack of backstories. I had a high school teacher that called a short story I wrote "canned". I wasn't sure what that meant until I read this book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars too bad, didn't read (at least, didn't finish...)
    Reviewed in Germany on January 25, 2014

    After suffering for about 15 % of the book, I just deleted it from my kindle. The author creates two storylines, completely different and not related to each other, which is absolutely confusing and really boring. Michael's fate is so twisted and mixed up (present and past) that you never know what is really happening!

    The book should have been about aliens (?) but before I could get to that part I decided that the book is confusing, boring, uninteresting and not written in a style that grips the reader!

    The funny part is, that I had already downloaded and begun to read this book once, but deleted it after a few pages. I didn't realize it and bought it again (fortunately for free!!!). But it didn't improve the second time, even with reading it a bit further.

    Don't waste your money and time on this (maybe the end is good?).

    I finished this, but that is all I can really say for it. Oh, and the story idea wasn't bad. The narrative is jumpy, the points of view and the verb tenses are inconsistent. I found it hard to empathize with any of the characters. Reading fiction requires a suspension of disbelief but I couldn't make that leap here.
