Separating Fact from Fiction

The Last Ark is second in the SNO Chronicles Series, which features an intersection of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, political corruption and rising fascism, and end time prophecy.

 

With the Last Ark, we deal with several historical, archaeological, political, prophecy, and technology themes. In most cases, these story lines represent an accurate representation of the known facts. There are a few select places where I choose to augment fiction over the facts.
