I thought this was even better than Babylon Rising, again, despite the Christian-based themes. Again, it kept me wanting to finish the series.
Not the best written books in the world, but fun. If you like Indiana Jones you might like these...
Methuselah sends another criptic message to Michael Murphy leading him into a dangerous cave and beginning a quest involving Noah's Ark. Scenes switch from Noah's life to Murphy's in this fast paced and exciting sequel of Babylon Rising, with continued (and added) friends and enemies.
was not a fan of this book no where near as good as the left behind series, read more like a bad romance than an action adventure
great! amazing!
