5.0 out of 5 stars
Very intriguing, a great tale of human nature
This book is easily one of the better treatises on human behavior I have read. The plot is straight forward, the characters deftly sketched, and one of few post-apocalyptic tales that doesn't dwell on the evils of mankind and their :gasp: carbon footprints. Instead, the author lays out the ecological disaster as exposition rather than proselytizing and engaging in...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great concept!
This is quite possibly what we are coming to in reality where the surface is hostile and mankind is forced to retreat to enclosed bubbles of safety. In this story, one such bubble is below the surface of the ocean trying to survive and remain sain for a many centuries. This is a very interesting and ultimately hopefull account of the strength of the human spirit.

This review is from: Ark Liberty (Paperback)
This book is easily one of the better treatises on human behavior I have read. The plot is straight forward, the characters deftly sketched, and one of few post-apocalyptic tales that doesn't dwell on the evils of mankind and their :gasp: carbon footprints. Instead, the author lays out the ecological disaster as exposition rather than proselytizing and engaging in snotty moral superiority and "green" speak. The trials and travails of the 6 centuries Ark Liberty encompasses are snippets, tidbits, and tantalizing glimpses into humanity forced underwater to survive. There is not a lot of hard science here and in fact the whole premise of the ark is farfetched and ultimately impossible. But for discerning readers who can accept a story for what it is without nitpicking details (this is a science fiction book, after all, not a science reality one) will thoroughly enjoy riding along with the author in a tale of what might be.
