About this ebook

May 1st: the Earth is scorched by a stray asteroid, wiping out almost all life. Almost, but not quite all. Three thousand souls aboard a cruise ship visiting the north pole are spared by a freak of nature. 

The ship’s first officer, Jake Noah, was looking forward to getting back to dry land once and for all. But then the world ended, and now he finds himself reluctantly in charge of the last handful of survivors of the human race. 

The limited resources on board mean that just staying alive will be a struggle. With the threat of mutiny ever present, can Jake rise to the challenge and lead his crew and their passengers on a quest for safety, or will he take the easy option and leave anarchy and chaos to prevail?

Survivors is the first book in the thrilling action / adventure series, Noah's Ark.

Ratings and reviews

Noah's Ark sounds like, from the title, it will be coming from a Christian point of view. Nothing could be further from the truth. The author's only portrayals of Christian characters are as nutjobs who are trying to kill everyone to "finish God's work" who beat and kill their wives and see women as only fit for breeding. He doesn't even try to portray any other faiths or religions, and most of the characters are two dimensional, uninteresting, and unlikable. Frankly, I just wanted everyone to die already.

Incredibly boring. Full of stilted language and clunky sentences. If you had seen the whole world come to an end, as well as other passengers/crew get destroyed, wouldn't you have some emotion or feelings? wouldn't you be upset that all your loved ones at home have been decimated? Apparently not, not one single character gives a hoot about family. Just a bog basic first draft mistakenly published without the benefit of being edited.

Reads like a movie or TV show, which is fine if there weren't so many cracks left in the story. Still, if you are looking just to pass time and not have to waste brain power,, go for it.
