David Maine gives an old wet story a new spicy twist, in this novel that re-imagines the epic adventures of Noah and the Ark. With help (a lot of help, because remember, he's a few hundred years' old) from his wife, sons, and remarkably resourceful daughters-in-law, Noah builds his boat and stuffs it full of all the things that walk, crawl, swim, and fly upon the earth. This novel is theologically serious - a philosophic look at faith, prophecy, and apocalypse - but also seriously fun-just picture you and your entire extended family trapped in a giant leaky canoe with all of nature frantically attempting to mate and eat each other. And you. And you definitely don't want to look at what's on the floor when you have to go to the bathroom.
