Great book to read June 24, 2019 Definitely a great read. I loved everything about it, and hope there could be a sequel or even a trilogy. Great pre-apocalyptic read April 18, 2019 LOVED THIS BOOK! I read the kindle version. It was a great doomsday preparing book about a group of people getting ready for survival. It kept me wondering as to what was going to happen and what they would find when they awoke. I would love to read a book 2. Great Book. April 18, 2019 I don't know if this is this author's first book but it was one of the best books I have read in a while. I hope it's not too long before he writes another one. Great Find April 18, 2019 Loved it! Would love series which highlights what life was like after the re-build. Interesting and exciting April 10, 2019 Like the book from the very first page. Got right into the story with interest and expectations. This is my kind of book. Yes April 9, 2019 Well thought out, great characters, riveting to read. After reading so many depressing post -apocryphal stories, this was a most welcome read! Bravo, Mr. Coates. Great Read! This One Has It All! March 27, 2019 Thoughtful, intense and thoroughly realistic tale with plenty of action under dire circumstances. By the time the first chapter ends, you know you're not going to be able to stop reading until the end and you'll wish it were twice as long! No mistaking that this is an author with immense talent that creates his characters with loving care. You'll find that it's impossible not to care about them too! The Ark March 27, 2019 Totally found myself immersed in this story. The characters are interesting and the dystopian plot was well managed and hopeful. If you like this type of story, please read this one. I am positive that you will be impressed and want more. Triumph February 10, 2019 Despite adversity, humans faced with an impending disaster manage good planning. Not all goes according to plan, but humans being what we are manage ways to find workarounds. Not all is rosy but humans can survive. Page turner, I couldn't put it down. February 6, 2019 Wow, this book was great. I was pleasantly surprised at the storyline and pace of the story. Great detail and description, this book really makes you think. Chris Coates is a fantastic writer and I will be picking up his next book. |
The Ark is the first book in a 2 part series
In the not too distant future, technology has developed to the point where a person can be placed in a Sleep State, which is a cross between suspended animation and a drug induced coma. Theoretically, a person can be put to sleep for any length of time and age only a couple of days for each year that they are asleep. At about the same time that the longest sleep trial to date is being completed, it is discovered that there is a very unusual comet approaching Earth and almost everyone will be killed by the powerful radiation that it carries. Immediately, the government proceeds, to build a sleeper facility large enough to hold as many specially trained men and women as possible. During the preparations, the government must finish the facility, select the team of sleepers, and at times take drastic steps to maintain secrecy. A time is pre-set to awaken the sleeper team, but, upon awakening, they learn that things have gone wrong. They now must find ways to carry out their mission in the new and strange world in which they find themselves. |
