Book Review: Ark of the Apocalypse by Tobin Marks

Ark of the Apocalypse (The Magellan II Chronicles Book 1) by [Tobin Marks]     Life on Earth is vastly different than what it once was. The world's temperature has risen along with the oceans. Life in the bays has diminished to almost nothing and man-kind's existence isn't far behind as there is almost no fresh water left. This rapidly dying planet's life span is about to get much shorter as Mother Olga has influenced the world powers (without their knowledge) and ignited a war. While Earth will perish she has a plan. Her great niece will travel with her husband and a few thousand people to a planet far away that has the ability to sustain life and continue humanity. 

    This new planet will have many struggles, such as surviving in an alien world that is dominated by giant dinosaur-like reptiles. Can this new world survive before humans and their self-destructive natures are gone forever? 

    I was given this eBook by the author in exchange for an honest review. While I am not normally someone who likes politics this book was done in a way that you don't feel like you are dealing with a political situation. The presidents of the United States in this story certainly don't know how to be diplomatic. But, because it doesn't feel political it was something that I enjoyed. For once, when someone set out to destroy the Earth they actually succeeded. There is also a precognitive and a dragon. 

    The thing that I don't understand is if she seen the future and what actions caused what reactions why she didn't try to deviate from an action and in doing so try to save people. But, I suppose blindly following what she refers to as the Path was what her family had done for generations. I also don't understand why her parents weren't with the others in the Order. Either I missed what their purpose was or it was as simple as meeting someone at the end. Which doesn't make any sense to me. 

    I think my favorite part of this book is the dragon. I have always had a small obsession with dragons and the fact that this one was able to communicate makes it all the better. All in all this book is worth all of the time spent on it and I cannot wait to find out what happens next! This book is available on Amazon for $7.99 by clicking here.
