From AudioFile

Are the remains of Noah's Ark resting on a mountain in Iran? The answer is still a mystery, but Robert Cornuke, a former policeman turned biblical explorer, definitely has "ark fever." Kevin King reads Cornuke's first-person account with a feverish tone that sometimes gets a little too "gee whiz" but also reveals the person behind the search as he deals with Middle Eastern authorities, injuries, hikes through terrorist strongholds, and, in one instance, a guide who shares the explorers' food with the hungry, leaving them scrambling for sustenance. With an approach that provides insight into the quest for knowledge, Cornuke's account is intriguing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ark Fever is contagious and compelling!, December 20, 2005

Thankfully, there is no vaccine for Ark Fever! Robert Cornuke takes readers on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to find the remains of Noah's Ark. Every page is packed with excitement. Written in a passionate first-person voice, this book becomes a dynamic documentary.

During World War II, an American soldier stationed in Iran, was brought to the frozen summit of a mountain range. Below him was an enormous object, which resembled a battleship stuck on a sandbar. The local people believed it was Noah's Ark, but its exact location has been kept secret for both political and religious reasons.

The testimony of this soldier sparked an intense search for this historic treasure. The pages of this book carefully lead readers through the planning stages of several expeditions to this area. In many ways, this adventure is a real-life mystery, with clues being gathered from Scripture, memories, and maps.

The mountain ranges of Turkey and Iran were the sites of their searches. The men on this mission had to hazard not only the dangers of the climb, but also officials in those countries who didn't appreciate outsiders. Yet, they continued their chase, fueled by their courage and convictions. Their stamina, skill, and steadfast faith are an inspiration. This book is written with clear and compelling details that make each expedition a breathless venture. Political intrigue, narrow escapes and dire disappointments keep the pages turning.

In addition to the author's powerful and persuasive commentary, the book includes maps and color photographs. Robert Cornuke has given readers a chance to see and experience an adventure of a lifetime. -- Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com

I usually don't read a book through in one night but did this book. Cornuke does a great job writing of his adventures to find Noah's Ark. His fortitude and commitment were commendable and rewarding. I hope there is a follow up to what he has discovered. Cornuke also gives an inspired insight into salvation. This is a must read.

Ark Fever by Robert Cornuke is a very good and exciting read. Cornuke a retired detective, went on to become a real life Indiana Jones. Who went all over the world searching for Biblical relics, such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Ship Wreak of Paul, Noah's Ark and many others. This book Ark fever is about His search for Noah's Ark, as well as the why people search. It involves dangerous Mountain Climbing in Dangerous CONDITIONS IN dangerous COUNTREYS (IRAN AND TURKEY). This is a guy's book (action packed) for sure, and I think, anyone would like it. tales of near falls and falls, terrorists to avoid, Hostel Government's and secret Police. The book is very well written, being a former detective Cornuke is very detail oriented, the book will grip you and not let you go, I think I have Ark fever now. Should I give away the end, does cornuke find the Ark? Let's just say; some will mock, some will not care and other will rejoice.
