Synopsis
A MODERN-DAY INTERNATIONAL THRILLER HAILED BY JAMES ROLLINS AS âÈêONE OF THE BEST DEBUTS IâÈçVE READ THIS YEAR . . . HERE IS A NOVEL THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOLDING YOUR BREATH UNTIL THE LAST PAGE IS TURNED.âÈë 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 NoahâÈçs ArkâÈ'the artifact her father had long been searching forâÈ'and the possible death of billions. Before Sam can explain, he collapses. With his dying breath, he urges Dilara to find Tyler LockeâÈ'a man sheâÈçs 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 rigâÈçs 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 TestamentâÈçs great mysteries.
