Product Description

Product Description

In a lonely bar in eastern Turkey, ex-National Geographic photojournalist Sam Ward is hired to find an eccentric professor who disappeared high atop Mount Ararat, fabled resting spot of Noah's Ark.

Accompanied by the professor's beautiful daughter, archaeologist Faye Roberts, Sam soon stumbles upon a secret stronghold — a base of operation for unleashing hell of earth.

Now running for their lives, Sam and company are about to come face-to-face with the greatest archaeological discovery of all time....



**Acclaim for the novels of J.R. RAIN**

"Gripping, adventurous, and romantic — J.R. Rain's THE LOST ARK is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current-day headlines. Be prepared to lose sleep!"
—James Rollins, international bestselling author of ALTAR OF EDEN and THE DOOMSDAY KEY

"I enjoyed MOON DANCE immensely. The protagonist, Samantha Moon, is a female vampire with a husband and children. Those predate her condition; six years ago she was attacked by a vampire and rendered into one. Now she's trying to carry on with family and private eye business, and she's a feisty, skilled person, so is doing mostly okay. It is not a horror story; she buys animal blood to eat and doesn't generally prey on humans. But her husband has an increasing problem with her coldness — not of spirit, but of body. 'You sicken me and scare the hell out of me,' he tells her. 'And when I touch you it's all I can do to not gag.' She replies, 'Words every wife wants to hear.' I love this! She really doesn't deserve to be frozen out of her marriage, yet his attitude is understandable. In the course of the novel she solves the mystery she is tackling for a client, and finds a new romantic interest. What makes it special are her character and nature. I sure wouldn't have kicked her out of bed. I recommend it as light reading, odd as that may sound."
—Piers Anthony, New York Times bestselling author of A SPELL FOR CHAMELEON and ON A PALE HORSE

"MOON DANCE is absolutely brilliant!"
—Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, author of UNDERSTANDING THE PLANETARY MYTHS

"MOON DANCE is a must read. If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, be prepared to love J. R. Rain's Samantha Moon, vampire private investigator."
—Eve Paludan, author of LETTERS FROM DAVID

"Impossible to put down. J.R. Rain's MOON DANCE is a fabulous urban fantasy."
—April Vine, author of THE MIDNIGHT ROSE

"DARK HORSE is one of the best books I've read in a long time! A great classic detective story with a modern twist. Unique and interesting characters (I think I'm half in love with Jim Knighthorse now!), a great plot that kept me guessing until the end, and some of the funniest lines I've read anywhere. Rain does an amazing job of blending suspense, mystery and humor in this fantastic debut novel destined for the keeper shelf."
—Gemma Halliday, award winning author of SPYING IN HIGH HEELS

"I totally loved THE BODY DEPARTED. As someone who communicates with those who are either earthbound or have crossed over — your descriptions and interpretations of the dialogue and circumstances could not have been written more accurately. My favorite scene is the one of Jesus stepping down from the cross and then the passionate and compassionate way it was treated as he went back to the cross. I will relive that for a long time to come. You're a wonderfully descriptive writer who paints a very creative, visionary canvass based in a paranormal pallet that only a few experience and many can enjoy. Thank you for your talent."
—Julie Belmont, author of THE PATH TO PERSONAL SUCCESS AND FREEDOM

The Lost Ark 25 Jan 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As the previous reviewer said I also didn't know what to expect from this book / Author. However, I based my decision to purchase it on the fact that the previous reviewer said it was like the work of James Rollins and Andy McDermott. I can completely agree. It is an adventure book set on a mountain where Noah's Ark apparently landed. The "hero" is a mountain guide/photographer who is hired by the daughter of an archaeologist who has gone missing on the mountain whilst searching for the Ark. Some parts are slightly far fetched but for those who enjoy the work of the above two Authors you will love it. Without giving anything away this book has all the makings of a great adventure book with bad guys, guns, mountain tunnels, glaciers, etc - lose yourself for a few hours - I did!

Well I didn't really know what to expect from this book as it is a genre I normally read but not a name I had heard of before.

I was really pleasantly surprised, the characters are well written and multi faceted, the 'quest' and premise I have read before from other authors but I really enjoyed this rendition and would recomend anyone who likes James Rollins, Andy Mcdermott etc will enjoy this. In fact I am off to see what else J.R. Rain has written in this genre!

Bit of a silly plot
The book started out quite well, enjoying and sympathizing with the main character Sam Ward, but the more the story went on the sillier the plot became.

Yawn
The book is somewhat puerile even in the category of 'fantasy reading'; it stretches credulity to the point of boredom.

I love the vampire moon series so thought I would give this a go. I found the writing simple, though the actual story is quite good the book could have been so much better.

Cheap action thrills but no great mystery
I hadn't heard of either the author nor this title, but 'bought' it because it was free on Kindle. The title and description implied a book similar to those of Scott Mariani (the... Read more

Surprised me
Got this at cheap price for my iPad running Kindle. Really enjoyed it a bit of India Jones, without the sillyness.

A vile habit, she said, motioning to the cigarette. I agree. Filthy. I shivered to show my revulsion. Then took another drag. Then why do you do it? A suicidal desire to know how Im going to die. &quote;
