Liked It1 of 2 members found this review helpful “This is one of the best books I've read. Absolutely great thriller, exceptionally well written. The author combines real & fictional events along with real & fictional technology...you spend the entire book mesmirized by the events. Could this, would this actually happen? I would recommend...” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It2 of 4 members found this review helpful “I just couldn't get further into this book. Seemed a bit slow moving. Had several significant events, but it took nearly 100 pages to explain these events. Lot of gunfights, explosions, and shooting. This always comes with unrealistic action and predictability. Just didn't seem to move along as...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This was an intriguing thriller. I really liked how Morrison chose to reinterpret the story of Noah's Ark, a new take on it. The characters where engaging and the action heightened the plot. ”

“Boyd Morrison tries to do what Dan Brown does so well, and he does a pretty decent job of it for this being his first novel. Some of the dialogue was a little cheesy at times but for the most part, I enjoyed the story.”

“Vrvi napuhanim futurističkim i nerealističnim tehnologijama (ipak je autor radio u NASA-i). Inače vrlo napeto pisana..nešto a la Indiana Jones. Ne bih je svrstala u vrijedna i kvalitetna djela, ali vrlo je zabavna i opuštajuća. (Odlično paše nakon Goniča zmajeva i tamošnje surove realnosti ;) ”

Before he dies he tells her a secret--her father has found The Ark and it is where her father died. The Ark contains a secret ant-dote to a deadly plan to wipe out civilization. .Debra and Tyler are super heros. Some of the more fantastic scenes and narrow escappes remind one of being in an X-Box video. It's fantastic and humorous the way these high tech gadgets magically appear on hand to save the day. It wasn't a great book, but a good, light read for the airplane or the beach.”

“Ovo je najgluplja knjiga koju sam pročitala u životu. Tyler Locke je najantipatičniji fikcijski lik, a Boyd Morrison jedan od najlošijih pisaca koje sam imala priliku pročitati. Slijedeći put kad bude htio nešto objaviti, moja preporuka mu je da to djelo da bilo kome na čitanje prije tiskanja. O prijevodu i tipfelerima da ne govorim.

Žao mi je izgubljenog vremena. A i 29.90 kuna koliko sam dala za ovu knjigu je samo 29.90 kuna više nego što vrijedi.
Da se ukratko osvrnem na knjigu. U ovoj knjizi su svi superheroji i svaka rečenica je kako je upravo ta osoba najbolje treniran vojnik koji je kompetentan za raznorazna čudesa. O glavnom liku Tyleru da ne govorim- od raznoraznih borilačkih vještina (u kojima je naravno najbolji), do stručnjaka za eksplozive, vožnju aviona... bla bla bla... do toga da je visok, zgodan, dobro građen, emotivan, sluša klasičnu glazbu i rock, ma da ne duljim- san snova svake žene. Da ne govorim da je nenormalno bogat i da je vlasnik firme (ili nekoliko njih?). I još mu se i duga ukaže kao da je on sam novi Noa!
Junakinja koja se pojavljuje je, također, čudo neviđeno, predivna prezgodna, prepametna arheologinja, Dilara. Osim što iskapa raznorazne ostatke, ona poznaje većinu starih jezika čiji zapisi ne postoje. Ma što poznaje? Čita ih na licu mjesta! Da ne govorim kako u slobodno vrijeme trenira borilačke vještine i rukuje sa raznoraznim vatrenim oružjem.
Da ne duljim, ovo je najveći promašaj ikad! Žao mi je papira i tinte koja je potrošena na ovakvo smeće.
Jedina pohvala je što ta arka nije zapravo arka nego nešto drugo. To je sve što mi je u knjizi ok.
Jednom riječju- bljak!”
“When an archaeologist claiming her father discovered Noah's Ark approaches Tyler Locke for help, he can't be sure she's telling the truth. One thing he does know, though, is that the woman is in terrible danger and he's entered the crosshairs now as well.

An action/adventure read in the vein of James Rollins and Steve Berry. Great fun!”
“OMG! What a fast, exhilarating ride/read. For a first novel, this was amazing.

I thought when it began it was kind of formulaic like Cussler/Rollins with a little Dan Brown thrown in on the side for the spiritual component, but as Morrison got warmed up, he forgot about all that (if he was even thinking about it) and just lived his story. He dern near wore me out! I finished it with a book light in bed (the power was out) and my adrenaline was pumping so much it took me forever to fall asleep.
I felt like Morrison's writing was very uncomplicated and clean, which is what fooled me to begin with. By the end of the book I could see that was his style. He has his own version of Cussler's Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino team in the guise of Tyler Locke and Grant Westfield. I hope he will be "living through them" long enough to give them as much of a history as Dirk and Al.
Great book. Every element of the adventure genre was present and more than accounted for!”
“If you love action-packed thrillers, you'll enjoy the debut thriller from Boyd Morrison. Dr. Dilara Kenner is an archeologist who's looking for her missing father. When her father's friend is killed and previous attempts are made on her life, she goes to see Dr. Tyler Locke, an engineer at Gordian Engineering, and tells him about Noah's Ark, her father's discovery. The two of them are finding shocking answers to suspicious hidden targets, like a mysterious plane crash to an attempt on a cruise ship. And they're up against Sebastian Ulric, the leader of the Church of the Holy Waters, who wants to annihilate the human race and start a New World of his own people. It's up to Dilara and Tyler to stop him, before time's running out, when the prion disease is released to the world. What a wild ride!
