First contact didn't go as planned.

Time Gate 8, one of humanity's portals between the stars, has been overrun by a mysterious alien intelligence, and the planet Luddeccea is now cut off.

Haunted by those she left behind, Commander Noa Sato is on a desperate mission to save her homeworld. Navigating the ancient Ark, she seeks a hidden gate that will transport her ship to Earth and the Galactic Fleet. But the Luddeccean system harbors dangers, and so does her crew.

The only crew member she completely trusts is James Sinclair, but he doesn't trust himself.

James isn't the man he once was. He has a hunger that is never sated, kills without regrets, and is fitted with extraordinary augments he doesn't remember getting. Can James control his augments, or will they control him?

In a future where almost all humans are augmented, James' answer and Noa's mission will determine the fate of the human race, and the enemy is already within the gates.

Pretty good for a new author's 2nd book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not bad for the second book of a new author.

This is also the 2nd book of her series: Archangel Project.

Too bad it's not really a stand-alone story, and relies on you reading her first book.

She never actually says what the Archangel Project is, or who was behind it, or why it was called the Archangel Project. But she gives enough information that you can figure out the first two questions.

Though not the third, nor why it (the Archangel Project) would be mentioned, in the middle of what was basically an encrypted conversation, in unencrypted Basic. There for everyone and their great-great-great-something-aunts to overhear.

Things that were heavily hinted at in book one are spelled out in book two.

I think that Noa could have been more confused and angsty, letting the truth blindside her a little harder.

Not bad writing, but depends too much on the previous and next books to answer questions.

Do not avoid this book.

The Archer

Good Stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed reading Archangel Down, but I loved Noa’s Ark. The second book is action-packed and provides answers to some of the questions raised in the first book.
This series, the Archangel Project, is darker than the author’s I Bring The Fire series, there’s no denying it. But Noa’s Ark has a satisfying balance between darkness and light. The relationship between Noa and James is luminous and at times joyful. The author makes good use of humor as well. Our favorite ten-legged mascot, Carl Sagan, is still on Noa’s team if not on her crew, helping whenever he can and providing entertainment. I am hoping that, at some point, the humans (or at least Noa herself) will recognize that his sentience exceeds their own and that he’s an “old soul”.
I enjoyed Gockel’s imaginative use of technology in Noa’s Ark. I can believe that much of the tech she is predicting will ultimately come into being in the real world.
My admiration for Noa as a strong protagonist and leader continues to grow. We haven’t begun to see everything that this young female commander can do.
As one of the beta readers for this book, I received a free advance copy of the final version in exchange for an honest review. I also bought the book after it was released. Three cheers for Carolyn Gockel and her Archangel Project!

Doing The Right Thing No Matter The Cost

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2016

This series must be read in order. The first book is Archangel Down. The second book is Carl Sagan's Hunt For Intelligent Life In The Universe (a flashback short story). This is the third book. I can't wait to read Heretic!

Noa and her crew aboard the Ark are doing their best to survive and get to the secret Time Gate hidden within the Kanakah Cloud in order to summon help from the Fleet. What is happening on Luddeccea is as bad, if not worse, than the atrocities committed by the Nazis. James is more important than he should be to her... And at times he really creeps her out. Who is he really? What is he? He resembles her dead husband more than is believable. She can't imagine life without him though, especially since her brother Kenji betrayed her. Why did Kenji turn her in to be sent to a concentration camp? Did he realize what he was doing? Can they repair the ship enough to fulfill their mission? Or will they be caught and turned in? What exactly is the Archangel Project? And how is she involved? Shouldn't she know? What does it have to do with James? Who can she trust?

I had read the first novel and had to try the second to see what happened to Noa and James and the rest of the members of the Ark. The story line was pretty engrossing for the most part. There were times when I thought I might abandon the book as nothing much seemed to be happening, but just as I was prepared to shelf the book, the story took a different turn and held me captive again. Now that I have finished the book, there are still unanswered questions, so of course, I had to buy the third book in the series. The author does a good job of dropping just enough hints about some things, but not enough for me to quite formulate answers to some of my questions...only vague guesses, so I guess I'll just have to keep on reading and see if my guesses pan out or not.

Great Sci-Fi Thriller!

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

It’s been years since I read a book and absolutely HAD to get the next one so that I could continue the adventure. Well, this is the second in this series and I absolutely MUST read the next one! All done without cliff hangers! This tale is action adventure at its very best with heart-in-your-throat tension on almost every page. The commander, Noa, is cool under pressure while still being touchingly emotional inside. Her colleague, James, is nervous and impassioned (especially about Noa) but loyally and efficiently does whatever is necessary when needed. All of the primary characters are so real that you want to reach out and touch them. Just go ahead and get the whole series now to save time.

Great sci fi story

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018

I'm nearly done with book 3, and continue to enjoy this series thoroughly. I'm very impressed with this author, she has been able to continue to put out high quality entertainment. The story has alot going on, yet remains true to its character focus despite the many subplots weaved together. The side characters are extremely memorable unlike many other books. Gunny, Shixtynine, and many many others are given just enough depth and plenty of entertainment value to make a reader enjoy them, without having to cling to the shoulder of the main characters the entire time. Reading is my only real hobby at this point in my life and having a chance to escape through good books makes life enjoyable, thanks again for many enjoyable hours in another world.

Lots of questions coming up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2018

I think my dislike of Si-Fi might catch up on me. I have sometimes problems following the technology and architecture of this future. And then again there are moments when I think “10 hours for a full system check? That's a bit long for such an evolved technology” or “Wouldn't the human brain totally overload with all this ethernet and internal app functionality”?
I would have thought that if humankind has developed all this advanced technology and uses their brains with so much input that some believes or motives would have to change too. Or maybe not, and this would be the downfall of humanity.
So, the archaic behaviours like racism (what does it matter if you are a “throwback” when you can change or select your genetics? And wouldn't it be seen as something special rather than “mistake”?) or the derogatory behaviour against bots (you have created them why feel like you need to diminish them?) has left me with too many questions.
All these good points to tackle in a book feel “old-fashioned” in the year 2400-something.
Though the core point, “what defines human” is nicely approached. Free will, love, compassion. But I would also add greed and forgiveness. Let's see how all this ends in the next book....

Engaging and well written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

The author (C. Gockel) has a great imagination and while there are some instances (noted by other commentators) that are a little weak technically I can forgive that. She writes well and is able to write male and female characters equally well which many other writers should emulate. The story is engaging and well written. Good science fiction is unusual to come by these days but this author is good at it.

A stellar read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

To get the most out of this book you have to have read Archangel Down and preferably Carl Sagan's Hunt for Intelligent Life in the Universe as well. Noa's Ark picks up right where Archangel Down leaves off and finds more room for introspection of how the heck they got where they are, as well as opening doors to new places and new adventures. The action is set at a slightly less frenetic pace than the first book which doesn't get your heart racing as much as book one but it's lovely to feel like you're unlocking what drives each individual. Definitely looking forward to the next book.

Good

This felt quite different to the first book, as the protagonists had all got together, and were now in space, and I was worried the original spark would be missing, but it was really good, albeit in a slight different way.

brilliant, loved all of it and was so relieved ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2016

Came across the first in this series by accident, brilliant, loved all of it and was so relieved to see that this one was already out. Can't wait for the 17th of January and The Heretic. Even the 'techie' bits kept me interested. The characters are well rounded, flaws and all, the plot is good and the pace about right, little slow in one or two places, but it still kept me reading. Great to have a strong female lead. So glad I found this author, will be trying some of her other work.
