even if it means destroying the very people he rules? Will the truth about what really happened a thousand years in the past be enough to stop total war? Or will Noah and his friends need to find another way to bring down a ruthless dictator who will do anything to keep himself in power. With only a time-traveling ship full of animals and a General from the history books (who is more comfortable riding a horse than in a spaceship) the Zarc family has to stand against the full might of a highly trained army of attack-drones, and a fleet of battleships armed with enough firepower to take out an entire planet. even if it means starting a war?Īs battles rage across the solar system, Noah Zarc must work to unite a rag-tag bunch of miners, farmers, and scientists who would rather just live in peace than fight a war which could set humanity back to the dark ages.
Ages 6%E2%80%9312.Can Noah Zarc keep peace across the solar system. Pease's strength as a storyteller lies in his ability to connect multiple time periods imaginatively, as well as Noah's excited, fast-paced narration. The story also includes a revelation about Noah's true parentage and explores his friendship with a girl from the Ice Age. Attempting to quash their mission to repopulate a revived Earth with the animals is Haon ("Noah" spelled backwards), who clashes with the Zarcs in a theatrical showdown. The vessel is filled with thousands of animals that the family has rescued by traveling back hundreds of years to before the Cataclysm destroyed life on Earth. The premise is an occasionally hokey but entertaining spin on the tale of Noah's ark: born a paraplegic on Mars, 12-year-old Noah Zarc now lives on a massive spaceship called the ARC (Animal Rescue Cruiser) with his siblings and scientist parents.
The first book in Pease's SF series is a sprawling story that hurtles back and forth in time and space, reaching as far back as 8512 B.C., and as far into the future as the 31st century.
