### Product Description
On April ninth, thousands of people wake from the same dream, angels instructing them to build a biblical ark in their front yard, or the town square or little league field. Anywhere, to prepare for the worst natural disaster to strike the world since the days of Noah. A widowed California high school teacher risks everything to build a boat in the sixty days she is given. A homeless and self-proclaimed prophet of God preaches across Boston's waterfront, unaware that he is not alone in his visions. A young priest is torn between the signs around him and the skepticism of his Church. A physician’s plans for advancement are threatened by her husband’s dreams of a coming flood.
In the end, only thirty people may board each boat. As the world slowly comes to grips with events unfolding around them, they must weigh their own faith in the exceptional and identical visions of so many people. The skies are clear, without a hint of rain. But if the dreams are true, something terrible is looming on the horizon.
"...a quality work of fiction, written by a professional who knows his stuff. A gripping story about the power of faith. Though it moves slowly and takes time building its tension – and build tension it does – this novel is the mark of an experienced craftsmen. The characters are varied and engaging, prompting genuine sympathy in the reader. His success is that he does what spiritual fiction often fails at: he focuses on the human element, how humans deal and grapple with the difficulty – and demands – of faith." - Kevin Lucia, Shroud Magazine Reviews
"I couldn’t put this book down. Margaret’s Ark is a scary look at what might end the world someday. Dan Keohane, a finalist for the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel, has taken a different approach to the usual religious apocalypse stories. This is not the Rapture -- this is a natural disaster that will change the world forever. " - Sheri White, Terrorflicks.com Views: 70

Pediatric anesthesiologist Farris's debut is as sharp as a scalpel, a gripping, well-crafted novel of medical suspense offering more than the adrenaline rush of constant emergency room disasters. Surgery resident Malcolm Ishmail is working the ER in Glory, Ariz., when his 13-year-old asthma patient, Henry Rojelio, goes from amiably talkative one minute to comatose the next. Seven years later, Malcolm, now an "itinerant physician" working in a string of Nebraska cow towns, reflects on his disgrace. His affair with the attending physician in Glory, brain surgeon Mimi Lyle ("she was tall, classically beautiful, and, from my testosterone-hardened viewpoint, undeniably sexy"), was a serious mistake. Despite rumors of incompetence, Mimi is considered at the top of her profession, so Malcolm watches with mounting horror as she botches one operation after another. After reporting her to hospital authorities, he finds himself ousted from his residency, relegated to a succession of smalltown emergency rooms in the hinterlands and eventually threatened with criminal prosecution. Slowly he begins to piece together the succession of events that have landed him in purgatory, only to realize that the vengeance-seeking Mimi lies at the center of the mystery. But there's still one more lesson to be learned: Mimi's better with a pistol than she is with a scalpel. Views: 70
