With Earth doomed, a select few are sent into space to start a new future for humankind...but madness and murder follow.
As the waters rose in Flood—inundating entire continents and displacing two-thirds of the world’s population—high in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains the U.S. government, funded by a coalition of the super-rich, was building an ark. Not an ark to ride the waves of the soon-to-be-submerged Earth, but an ark that would take a select few people out into space to start a new future for humankind.
Holle Groundwater is one of those chosen for the years-long mission, having been trained for this purpose since childhood. But as she prepares to endure life aboard the ark, she realizes that, far from escaping the troubles on Earth, danger has only followed close on her heels...and that madness and murder have not been left behind.
Ark is Stephen Baxter’s epic sequel to the acclaimed Flood—a stirring tale of what mankind will do to survive and the ideal introduction for new readers to one of SF’s greatest tropes: the generation ship. Written by one of the most significant SF writers of the last 30 years—a man considered to be the heir of Arthur C. Clarke, with a unique ability to popularize science and science fiction for the largest possible audience—Flood and Ark together form a landmark in modern SF.
