About

In the 1980’s, Dr. Arthur M. Evans helped bring the discovery of Noah’s Ark to the world, only nobody believed it. Thirty years later, he is an Oxford tutor who’s sworn off adventuring… until his old archeology partner sends him new research and a dire warning. Meanwhile, his gifted sixteen-year-old grandson has started uncovering family secrets, which have caught the eye of an eccentric millionaire myth-hunter, an enigmatic man in a suit, and a Kurdish paramilitary group. Now hunted themselves, the Evanses have been thrust into an ancient quest that will connect lost places of the ancient world throughout a conflict-riddled Middle East primed for revolution. They have the chance to solve a mystery that will link Gilgamesh, Eden, Noah’s Ark, and the Minotaur’s Maze in ways that could change history forever. If they can survive long enough to prove their discoveries.

The Chaos Spiral is an intricately woven historical mystery: part action-archeology, part family adventure, part international conspiracy. To solve the mystery and save their lives as well as their teams’, the Evanses must dive deeply into the world’s oldest flood and creation myths, as told from four different traditions. They will travel from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the drought-parched Middle East during the tense preamble to the 2011 Arab Spring. The quest promises to take them to Ugarit, Antioch, Crete, not one but two alleged resting sites of Noah’s Ark, and finally, just maybe, the shores of Eden itself.

Book Reviews
The book is very well written and keeps the excitement level high keeping the reader turning the over 700 pages. It’s hard to stop reading, it’s like Indiana Jones searches, full of action and adventure. People chasing them wherever they go. It’s based on some truth in that Wyatt Aarons did find something on Mt Ararat and has made that finding popular. Many of the characters elevate all the creation /flood myths above the Bible’s Genesis. If reading this as a Christian, as I am, you must be VERY strong in your faith or you may be caught up in all the myths. Do you seek proof of Noah’s Ark or the Garden of Eden? Or do you believe without seeing? There was some truth towards the end: If you can believe Genesis 1:1, the greatest miracle of all, then you can believe everything that comes after that. I did enjoy the book, it was fast paced!
