Review of The Last Ark
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Last Ark" by Guy Morris.]
Derek Taylor, a spy and a fugitive, travels globally in search of a missing DARPA AI while simultaneously trying to preserve his life from an adept assassin. An admiral’s suspicious death drives his daughter, Jenn Scott, to search for answers. The US encounters major problems, one of them being an incompetent former president seeking asylum for the sake of not facing his trial. In The Last Ark, by Guy Morris, all these stories interweave into one grand political, religious, murderous, and scandalous plot. From relics being discovered to truths being uncovered, each character, whether protagonist or antagonist, is in search of something. In the midst of all this chaos, one question hangs in the balance. Will Derek Taylor and Jenn Scott ever clarify their relationship?
I loved many aspects of this thrilling book. It wasn’t too violent, obscene, or vulgar. It maintained its breakneck pace, and the plot twists seemed endless. Since there were numerous chapters, the author made each chapter concise, which is something that I appreciated. Most people are aware of the renowned rapper, Drake. In the book, there was a news anchor named Drake Rapper, which is nothing short of a pun and quite funny. This is one of the many comical aspects in this novel. As the reader, I was taken around the world from Wales to Ethiopia to Israel and was exposed to so many different cultures.
There was nothing much to dislike about this book. The only minor inconvenience was trying to remember the numerous characters despite the author providing a list of all the characters in the beginning of the book.
This book had a remarkable balance between research and imagination, and fiction and reality. The Eye of Horus in a triangle as the book’s cover conflicted me. On one hand, it made me curious as a conspiracy theorist. On the other hand, I was sceptical of the nature of the book, as those symbols are often associated with Freemasonry and the Illuminati. However, reading the book was worthwhile, and I don’t regret giving it a chance. It was enjoyable and well edited. This book isn’t perfect, but it definitely is one of the best books that I’ve read. Therefore, I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves political thrillers, action-packed books, and murder cases. Those who are interested in religious studies and conspiracies will also find this book enjoyable.
