The way the review describes the intricate balance between historical accuracy and imagination has me sold! I love the idea of dual narratives and the focus on Noah's flood. This book seems like a must-read for history lovers.

This is another compelling narrative where the modern and ancient worlds collide, leading to significant discoveries. These revelations create a shift, and I’m eager to uncover what was revealed about Noah’s story and the wiping out of humanity. History and research can sometimes feel tedious, and I can understand the challenge of the author frequently switching between multiple characters. I share your initial concerns and am curious to see what changed your perspective on them. I hope to enjoy the book as much as you did. Thanks for the insightful review. Congratulations to the author for being selected BOTD.

This is a complex, yet rewarding tale that mixes ancient speculative history with modern issues. The novel illustrates how thorough research can enhance storytelling, providing depth and credibility to the narrative. A rich, detailed and well-researched story by the author.

The combination of ancient history, modern timelines, and thorough research sounds compelling. I’m excited to see how the characters and their journeys tie everything together across different eras. Adding this to my TBR.

If the story is as well researched as your review intimates, then I am sure I'd enjoy reading an academic enquiry into Noah's flood. This sounds like an excellent book. Well done on the review.

Very informative review; appreciated! This excellent book offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of global disasters, both natural and human-made, and their significant effects on human civilization. Trevor Daffyd's writing is outstanding, allowing readers to engage with the content until the end without feeling overwhelmed. Each part of the book flows easily! Congratulations on the Book of the Day accolade!

You have no idea how pleased I am to receive a complete trilogy of my favorite type of literature! Offering an adventure full of "historical mysteries and speculative theories" is the best gift I could have ever got and this intriguing journey to research the "intricate connections between the ancient and modern worlds" is just the activity I would gladly dedicate my free time to! Most sincere congratulations on BOTD!

I like that the book is a blend of history and fiction and how Paul Vaughan and his son, Jared, worked together on the research of Noah's flood.

The fact that Trevor has developed his characterisation of this book well will enable readers to resonate with each character's motivations and thought processes. Thanks for you thorough review.
