Re Jana and her parents have heard stories about a man building an enormous ship in the desert, and decide to leave their home to go there and find work. Re Jana's father becomes the right-hand man to desert patriach, Noah. Re Jana, an attractive girl on the verge of adulthood, teaches the people the benefits of pure clean water and fragrant oils. Ham, Noah's youngest son, succumbs to her charms, confiding in Re Jana that his god intends to submerge the world and that only Noah and his family will be saved. When the Flood finally arrives, Re Jana is smuggled on-board by Ham. Life on the ark is gruelling and dangerous but, when at last the ship runs aground, a pregnant Re Jana realises she will be instrumental in founding a new dynasty in a new world.

They fled to the desert, following the trail of animals and people who had gone before them. And there, in the dry centre of the desert, rose the frame of a boat of unprecedented proportions. What was it doing there? And what could explain the city of industry that had grown up around it? The rumour of the flood to come is too terrible to be true, and like most, Re Jana does not believe it. How could a god - anyone's god - determine who deserves to live and who to die? *** Quantity Available: 5. Category: Fiction; Historical; ISBN: 0689872690. ISBN/EAN: 9780689872693.
