I'm not into fantasy novels but the concept of this book sounds unique. Lack of food in a crisis may sound familiar but it's also unique because countries have been fighting for it. Thanks for a wonderful review.

The cover art is quite catchy but colonization is a touchy subject and I'm also not a fan of science fiction so I'd pass. Thanks for the nice review.

I enjoyed the drama in the beginning of this book. It’s too bad that it had some pacing issues. Thank you for a nicely-done review with great detail!

It'll be interesting to discover if and how the earth survives this one. I'd like to know how the first family plans to reclaim the earth; that seems like a preferable solution. Great review.

While I like its plot, I feel that the story might prove to have too much information and too little explanation. Nonetheless, congrats on BOTD!

Sounds like a well-written dystopian novel to enjoy. I am curious to know how one family intends to claim the planet using sinister means. Thank you for your detailed review recommendation. Congrats BOTD!

Generally, countries that have these natural resources tend to have an advantage over others. I would like to read this book.

The ark of apocalypse by Tobin Marks
The Arc of apocalypse is a science fiction intriguing novel that leaves readers captivated and astonished by the drastic change of events. It is about humanity and survival.
The novel is mainly about the Yanbeyev family, it takes place during the second world war, the novel starts when Mr Anatoly Yanbeyev,a metallurgist is brutally murdered by officers, Tanya his wife takes it on herself to raise their two kids Sasha and Irina. She aims to build a family legacy in the medical field.
The issue I had with this novel was how the scenes kept on alternating it was pretty challenging to keep up with the scenes, the scenes kept on changing drastically and this made it slightly hard for me to keep up.
Apart from that the authors language was somewhat unclear it was hard tell the timeline of the story.
All in all, feel in love with the character Tanya, I loved how determined and persistent she was.
In conclusion I give Ark of apocalypse 3 out of 4 stars. I love the novel so much and have recommended it to almost all my friends.

I mostly enjoy books that are well-described and poetic. This would surely be an example.

This is a vital interesting story. I like how the author emphasizes the importance of water which is very alarming at present.
Reading is a journey to the world.

This is a practical case of "don't judge a book by its cover". The content is completely different from what the book cover projects. But, from your review, it seems like a good read.
