From the back cover: "The Treasure-Noah's Ark-the world's greatest mystery, the earth's most precious relic-long held in the icy grip of an ancient glacier.
The Mountain-volcanic, dark, and treacherous-where a gust of wind can lift a man like a piece of lint.
The Expedition-a precarious mixture of cultures and faiths, mingling Turkish soldiers with mountaineers, doctors, scientists, and Islamic holy men...and among them is a traitor.
When natural forces melt the glacier and Noah's Ark is discovered intact on desolate Mt. Ararat, the job of rescuing it for the United States falls to Reg Danson. Yet, as he nears the landing place, having braved the bone-chilling winds, battled the Russian and Kurdish saboteurs, and lost several men to the evils of the mountain, he questions the significance and impact of his mission.

It is whispered in the hovels and villages of Mt. Ararat's shadow that the one who would find the Ark of Noah holds the key to a profound power - a secret that could change the course of history and the future of humanity." 349 pages. This book is in large print and easy to read.
