Would compare to the work of Michael Crichton. Reminiscent of Andromeda Strain.
Really liked the Noah's Ark premise.

The action kept up, character building was performed but not at the expense of the pace. A very good read.

Her web site www.cherryh.com has been only mildly updated in recent years.
Part of this is because she develops/maintains it herself.
But now she has upgraded/updated and put on an interactive blog - wow you can realtime conversations with a fabulous Hugo-winning author. And Yes I REALLY like her work. And from reading her online journal for several years I really like her.
This woman has won two Hugos. Published well over 50 books.
She writes both hard Science Fiction and Fantasy.
And she is my favorite author - right there with Asimov, Heinlein and Steinbeck.
I kinda didn't want to publicize this because I wanted to keep it to myself. But you deserve to have the opportunity, if you want it.
I like you guys a lot too.

So if you want to it is at www.cherryh.com and the blog is titled Wave Without A Shore.....enjoy.]]> Mighty Hammer Down (Paperback) by David J.
