Very intriguing, a great tale of human nature

This book is easily one of the better treatises on human behavior I have read. The plot is straight forward, the characters deftly sketched, and one of few post-apocalyptic tales that doesn't dwell on the evils of mankind and their :gasp: carbon footprints. Instead, the author lays out the ecological disaster as exposition rather than proselytizing and engaging in snotty moral superiority and "green" speak. The trials and travails of the 6 centuries Ark Liberty encompasses are snippets, tidbits, and tantalizing glimpses into humanity forced underwater to survive. There is not a lot of hard science here and in fact the whole premise of the ark is farfetched and ultimately impossible. But for discerning readers who can accept a story for what it is without nitpicking details (this is a science fiction book, after all, not a science reality one) will thoroughly enjoy riding along with the author in a tale of what might be.
