About The Ark of the Apocalypse: The Magellan II Chronicles
Earth was almost dead.
The polar ice caps melted long ago, and it’s been decades since the last raindrop fell. Ocean levels rise a dozen meters, and forest fires rage on a global scale. Eleven billion people dying of thirst wage water wars against each other as extinction looms.
Humanity needs a new planet. As Earth deteriorates, the nation states desperately work together to build a mechanism for recolonization. And so the Magellan II is born, the first starship capable of interstellar travel.
The future of the human race is tasked to ten thousand colonists—now homeless but for the vastness of space and the decks of Magellan II. A distant planet offers hope of survival, but it’s a strange, watery world inhabited by giant reptiles.
Humanity is starting over, but survival isn’t guaranteed.
Get the Book:
The saga spans thousands of years and heavily involves global warming, space travel, and dragons. Yes, you read that right. The funny thing is that these vastly different topics, locations, and story lines are all interconnected in such an ingenious way that nothing seems out of place. There is a red thread that sews everything together, even if the reader is kept in the dark regarding its purpose and outcome.
The many characters are properly fleshed out and I was on the edge of my seat all the way until the end of the book. It has an ending that rounds of the story well, while leaving plenty of space for one’s imagination to create a vast number of follow-up scenarios. Absolutely fantastic!

—Olivia Palloc (Author): “So Intriguing” -5 Stars
There are so many different and vital themes in this book. I find it surprising that someone had the nerve to take them on, especially in one book. Tobin Marks superbly accomplishes this and deserves an award for his recognition of them.
