I love the cover of the book. It seems to depict the description in the review very well. I imagine the hardships encountered leading up to the colonists trying to leave earth. Looking forward to reading it.

I love the storyline. I am curious of the way the selections for the new planet were made and what happened to the people left behind. I am adding this one to my shelf. Thanks for the amazing review and recommendation.

The plot sounds intriguing but I'll pass. I don't want to read about the apocalypse. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. This book doesn’t sound like it’s for me, but I will definitely recommend it to science fiction fans.

I think I'll like to read the backstories of the Yanbeyev and Nagasaki families. Sounds like there's a good story there.

This book has a nice apocalyptic backdrop that seems worth exploring. But I have to admit I was thrown off by the book cover. Feels like there's an imminent copyright issue coming for it. Makes the book feel like a spinoff of something already established.

Well, that was interesting. I feel like the vibe coming off from that beautiful book cover and the plot matches. I hope the author's writing style and storytelling technique would do the same, too.

The Ark of Apocalypse seems to portray the biblical Ark of Noah. The whole story sounded like it.

It is a shame that the novel could have gotten a perfect rating was it not for the numerous errors found in the book's pages. I particularly liked how the reviewer mentioned that the title is event-driven since I know that is an essential information readers would want to know beforehand. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This sounds good. I'm into sci-fi and World War. They are the most interesting gente ever. The closest to that genre that I read was Miss Peregrine's, although it's more on the fantasy side than sci-fi. Anyway, I'm thrilled and very excited to read this. Thanks

This sounds like a fantastic read! I love sci-fi and I am finding myself intrigued by more historical-based plotlines, so the sample pages for this novel have me itching to read the rest! Great review!

As a sci-fi fan, I found this intriguing and interesting as well. Each character defines their role. The cover threw me off. There might be a second thought to this.
