    About this ebook

    Richard and Robin Mariner are in Long Beach, California, to oversee the arrival of their container ship, Sulu Queen, before joining their friend Nic Greenbaum aboard his fifty-million-dollar motor yacht as he races his daughter Liberty in an Olympic-standard Katapult multihull down the coast to Mexico.

    But when an ARkStorm, with the potential to cause catastrophic devastation, overwhelms them, Richard is forced into dangerously unprecedented action. Turning Sulu Queen into a real Noah’s ark, Richard must guide her into the deadliest storm to come off the Pacific in 150 years as he fights to save those closest to him, as well as countless other lives.

      I have not read previous installments in this series. I picked this up for two reasons: 1. I'd recently read a book by a different author from the same publisher and enjoyed that one and 2. the word ark in the title reminded me of the Biblical story of Noah's ark and the back cover blurb promised a comparison.The story was too long on set up in the beginning. It's chapter 12 or 13 before they even get out to sea. By then, I was wondering if the big storm was ever going to come. For me, the characters weren't compelling enough for me to want to keep pushing on with reading, so if I had a chance to read a book I thought I'd like better, I was quick to do that rather than picking up this one.
