Book Description

Publication Date: 19 Aug 2010

Do the remains of Noah's Ark really exist?

Before he dies, the father of ambitious young architect Dilara Kenner leaves her tantalising clues about the location of the legendary historical artefact - Noah's Ark.

The most fabled relic of all time, the search for Noah's Ark has obsessed many over the years. And when Dilara starts her quest - aided by former army engineer Tyler Locke - she rapidly becomes transfixed by the thought of discovering it.

But there are sinister forces gathering who have deadly reasons for wanting to be the first ones to get to the relic.

From a helicopter crash in the Atlantic, to a sinister sect in Arizona's Mojave desert, to the remote slopes of Mount Ararat, this thrilling page-turner blends nonstop action with fascinating historical fact.

Product Description

Review

Lightning-paced, chillingly real, here is a novel that will have you holding your breath until the last page is turned. One of the best debuts I've read this year (James Rollins )

The perfect blend of historical mysticism and clever, classical thriller plotting. Imagine the famed Ark rediscovered and reinvented to form the seeds of a modern day conspiracy. Boyd Morrison manages that flawlessly in this blisteringly-paced tale (Jon Land )

Like a thrill seeking ride in Disneyland, Morrison's thriller never pauses for breath... fast and furious with instant gratification (Daily Mail )

A bang-a-minute blockbuster (The Times )

Book Description

An explosive debut about the search for one of the most famous relics of our time

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stuff 12 Aug 2010
By JB
Format:Paperback
This is a great read. A full-on, fast paced thriller with lots of detail and intrigue, and a wonderful, implausibly good, protagonist. I downloaded this when it was a free download from the author's website, just on the off-chance that it might be worth reading, and was hooked right from the start. I've since read all of the author's other available work, and loved it all. Can't wait for the next one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Been there, seen it, done it.... and yet it's worth it 4 Feb 2011
By Viscount_Grey
Format:Paperback
OK so yes, this has been done before - many people are pointing to Da Vinci code, but I'm in agreement with those saying Cussler - although to me it puts me more in mind of Atlantis Found than Plague Ship.

Lots of similarities to be drawn here: the "compellingly attractive" Tyler not only has the same qualities manifested by Dirk Pitt, but even has the tragedy in a previous relationship.... Tyler is also accompanied by a trusty sidekick, often referred to as "burly" or "stocky" - in fact on some occasions I found that my brain had automatically added "Italian" to those references to Grant. The general theme was the same - Respected yet feared businessman with unlimited resources meticulously plans to take over the world, everything runs smoothly until a couple of pieces of grit serendipitously get caught in the wheels, leading inexorably to his downfall. Tyler and Grant working for highly respected agency, placing them with good connections which are enhanced from previous distinguished military careers allowing Special Forces assistance... the list goes on and on... BUT...

For anyone who is a fan of this genre it is well worth reading. The themes and characters may be identical in all but name, but Morrison's keeps the story moving, ignoring Cussler's penchant for taking interludes using sub-plots or the inevitable NUMA briefing sessions. It makes for easy, enjoyable reading and has a kind of irresistable quality that makes it hard to put down.

Certainly a very worthy debut novel, and while some will find it sameish, if Cussler is your genre, Morrison should prove to be a worthy successor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!! 15 Jan 2013
By margaret morgan
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my husband as a stocking filler for Christmas. He had already read a Boyd Morrison book on holiday, which he also rated very good. He says that The Noah's Ark Quest keeps you gripped and unable at times to put the book down. Highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking read. 8 Dec 2010
By B. Peyton
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was my first purchase via Kindle and what a great book to start with.

In the same league as James Rollins, Andy McDermott, Matthew Reilly and Scott Mariani. Good characters, good plot, explosive action and a brilliant debut from an exciting writer.

If you enjoy adventure thrillers then you won't be disappointed with this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be sued by Clive Cussler 4 Oct 2010
By Pete
Format:Paperback
First of all, and most importantly, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It races along at a great pace and is extremely entertaining.

However, I was astonished at the similarity to Clive Cussler's "Plague Ship". I won't go into details that would spoil both books but not only is the basic premise the same, many of the lesser points in the plot are the same. The only significant difference is the actual nature of the Ark itself. I'm surprised that Boyd Morrison hasn't been sued for this.

Still great fun though!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, maybe very good, but not excellent 10 Sep 2010
By Mr. I. Mcevansoneya
Format:Paperback
This is a far better book than many of it's ilk. The action scenes are well choereographed and although the author does often resort to well worn plot cliches it is done with a certain panache. The characters are engaging if rather predictable. (A typical feisty, but beautiful heroine, the rugged action man who doubles as an academic, the brilliant but pyschotic villian and the good and bad sidekicks with history between them) The theory of what Noah's ark actually was is entertaining, if rather unconvincing but unlike so many books of this type it does feel satisfying. Everything is wrapped up neatly - all villians killed by the correct "good guy", and there is the continuing sense that the whole book isn't taking itself too seriously. Not a book that will dwell long in the memory, but entertaining enough while it lasted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Adventure! 11 Oct 2010
By Zontania TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I loved this book, it had action, it had style, it was sheer escapism, but also made you think. The main characters were likeable and there was never a boring moment. It was a book you could read with ease and still sleep at night (unlike the gruesome novels by Tom Knox.)

The start was a bit awkward, I'll admit, and bits of the introductions reminded me of Chris Kuzneski's characters, but very soon the action kicked in, the pace picked up, and I found myself caught up in an amazing adventure.

A female archaeologist whose father has been missing for 3 years is called to a meeting with one of her father's friends. He only has enough time to give her some clues, some seemingly disjointed words that make no sense, but set the clock ticking against her as the baddies go after her. The first person she visits trying to decipher the clues does not take her seriously till his life becomes endangered. They join forces to find out what is happening. Clue by clue, the mystery unfolds and it is now up to them to save the world - literally! Will they be able to foil the plans of the sinister cult leader or will he live to wreck havoc another day? And what has Noah's Ark got to do with it all - did it ever exist, and what was it exactly? To find out the answers... read the book!
