I love books that make you think, make you wonder "What if?". I'm a huge fan of James Rollins, and to find another author who writes similar books is such a treat.

1) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars (probably closer to 3.5)
2) Genre: Thriller
3) Synopsis: Noah's Ark has been lost to the world but has it been found again? Is it possible that the Ark will be needed again to save people from the end of the world?
4) Feelings: I am a sucker for a good thriller. I liked this book and the idea behind it. Bringing in a biblical artifact always adds some familiarity to the story. This book had plenty of action and puts its main characters in extreme danger.
5) Final recommendation: If you are a thriller fan this book is a fun read. Just what you expect from a good thriller. Can't say I really liked the main character but I did want him to win in the end. I am planning on getting the next book in the series. You should give it a try too.

Na naslovnici je navedeno da je napetije od Da Vincijevog koda, a sli?nost s istom je minimalna, pa ako se netko dvoumi upravo zbog toga sli?nosti, slobodno je uzmite jer se radnja lako prati i konstatno razvija
Ukratko: Arheolog pronalazi Noinu arku a njegov hm 'pomo?nik' Ulrich odlu?uje uzeti stvar u svoje ruke i kreirati Novi svijet po svojoj mjeri pomo?u smrtonosnog virusa. U cijelu pri?u se uple?e i arheologova k?er Dinara koja uz pomo? vojnog in?enjera Tylera Lockea poku?ava zaustaviti Ulricha i prona?i Noinu arku.
Moj dojam: vrlo dobar triler koji ni zbog nadolaze?ih ispita nisam ispustila iz ruku

Highly recommended for people who like James Rollins, Indiana Jones, and things that are exciting and good.

I wanted to put this book down half way through. I kept thinking maybe something would actually surprise me, so I kept reading. For a book supposed to be full of action and twists, I sure wasn't ever left guessing. The writing was juvenile, I didn't connect with any of the characters, and I should have trusted my judgement and stopped reading it. It was a waste of time - don't bother.

This book is a wild and original take on the Bible's Noah's Ark story - at times too wild for me, but it still made for an interesting story. At times my interest waned, but it was always recaptured. I'll give The Ark 3 1/2 stars.

When an archaeologist claiming her father discovered Noah's Ark approaches Tyler Locke for help, he can't be sure she's telling the truth. One thing he does know, though, is that the woman is in terrible danger and he's entered the crosshairs now as well.
An action/adventure read in the vein of James Rollins and Steve Berry. Great fun!

This is a thriller in the mode of James Rollins, Clive Cussler et al, involving a complicated plot, some nifty science, a little history, an evil group with a plan to take over the earth and a strong, damaged hero who solves the riddle and saves the world with the help of a beautiful exotic intelligent woman. Much of the book is derivative but the writing was quite good and it was a fun beach read. I don't think book groups are going to spend hours discussing the hidden meaning but I enjoyed the read. I'm giving it 4 stars based on its quality within its genre but don't think I'm comparing it to some of the truly great 4 star works of literature I've rated in the past.
