The Lost Ark

Description

Sam Ward once had it all: a dream job with National Geographic, a fearless fiancée at his side, and a thirst for adventure that took him to the world’s most dangerous places. But a rockslide on Mount Ararat stole the woman he loved and left him a broken man, running a failing bar in the dusty back streets of Eastern Turkey. He has no intention of ever setting foot on that cursed mountain again—until Faye Roberts walks through his door. Smart, headstrong, and unshakably determined, Faye is an American archaeologist desperate to find her missing father, a renowned biblical scholar who vanished while searching for Noah’s Ark. The Turkish government has closed the mountain, the local guides are corrupt or incompetent, and the only man who knows Ararat better than anyone is Sam. But climbing Ararat isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly. Treacherous terrain, brutal weather, and armed soldiers guarding a forbidden expedition are just the start. As Sam and Faye push deeper into the mountain’s secrets, they’ll uncover conspiracies, rival treasure hunters, and the dark truth about the legend they’re chasing. From the rain-slick streets of Dogubayazit to the frozen peaks of Ararat, The Lost Ark is a pulse-pounding adventure packed with danger, romance, and ancient mystery—a must-read for fans of Clive Cussler, Steve Berry, and classic archaeological thrillers. "Gripping, adventurous, and romantic—J.R. Rain's The Lost Ark is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current-day headlines. Be prepared to lose sleep!" — James Rollins, international bestselling author of the "Sigma Force" series WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ★★★★★ "J.R. Rain weaves a tapestry of interesting, believable characters with a dynamite plot. You will root for the heroes, want to cry a bit in the ending chapters. This book makes you wonder, what if the ark really was found in this day in age. What would society believe as a whole after a find like that was authenticated? The Lost Ark has a lot of action for those of us that like that genre and plenty of mystery." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "I have personally been in the Land of Noah and have been mesmerized by the beauty and mystery of Mount Ararat. My adventure was calm and rather spiritual. J.R. Rain’s The Lost Ark is far from calm. It is a thrill ride from the first few pages! Reads like an Indiana Jones story. I read it in two sittings."―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ " The Lost Ark was riveting, you were rooting for Sam and Faye to survive while searching for her father and the lost ark. An excellent adventure story that I truly hope to see in a movie someday!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ " The Lost Ark by J.R. Rain is an excellent read! I love a book full of action and adventure and a great hero and heroine. This book has it all and the best of villains!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ " The Lost Ark is jam-packed with adventure, action, and a little romance thrown in for good measure. The main character, Sam Ward, is a typical J.R. Rain tough guy with an off beat sense of humor. I would LOVE to see a movie made from this book." ―Amazon reviewer Click BUY NOW or READ FOR FREE today!
