Humankind has escaped a dying Earth and set out to find a new home among the stars aboard an immense generation ship affectionately name the Ark. Bryan Benson is the Ark's greatest living sports hero, enjoying retirement working as a detective in Avalon, his home module. The hours are good, the work is easy, and the perks can't be beat. But when a crew member goes missing, Bryan is thrust into the center of an ever-expanding web of deception, secrets, and violence that overturns everything he knows about living on the Ark and threatens everyone aboard. As the last remnants of humanity hurtle towards their salvation, Bryan finds himself in a desperate race to unravel the conspiracy before a madman turns mankind's home into its tomb.

There is so much good stuff wrapped inside The Ark: a locked-room murder mystery, bare-knuckle action, and the kind of hard-boiled science fiction that will make your brain pop. Climb aboard.
Adam Rakunas, author of Windswept
The stakes are high is this thrilling debut.
Kirkus Reviews
Fast paced murder mystery and science fiction thriller, that kept me guessing until the very end.
Books in Brogan
Deftly plotted, The Ark is an excellent work of science fiction. I eagerly await Trident s Forge, the next novel in the series.
Mutt Cafe
A murder on a spaceship is the ultimate locked-room mystery, and debut author Tomlinson has a lot of fun dragging his detective all over the ship as he investigates who killed Laraby.
Library Journal
This book is fresh, new, clever. I loved everything about this book, it ambushed me with amazing prose, and compelling characters. I read it in one sitting. I cannot remember when a book was this captivating, this enthralling. More Mr. Tomlinson, please.
Book Drunkard
The generations of isolation in the controlled society of the Ark have left them in a setting that makes this novel different.I also enjoyed the twists that were alluded to in this book that will bring some interesting turns in the anticipated future installments in this series. I give this novel a 4.4 out of 5.
John s Notes
This book has a bit of everything. Science fiction, mystery, and thrills along with some action thrown in as well. A very interesting read that kept me turning the pages up to the very end.
Word Gurgle
The story was compelling and I definitely will be eagerly awaiting the next novel, Trident s Forge. 5*
Brian s Book Blog
This is the story I wish I had written. Generation ship. Detective story. Tomlinson takes such discordant elements and weaves them into a fascinating story: a Manet painting, advanced probes, exoplanet imaging, and more. There are echoes of Robert Sawyer s Red Planet Blues here and I m hoping that this is the start of a new subgenre: detectives in space!
J. Daniel Batt
A solid read and one that I had fun reading. I really can t wait to see how future outings develop.
Falcata Times
Is it worth the read? If you re looking for a fusion of excellent hard sci-fi and action thriller, with a soupcon of mystery, then yes, absolutely. I m already looking forward to seeing what the next book in the series has in store.
SF & F Reviews
The Ark blends two of my favorite genres science fiction and mystery. There are plenty of twists and turns that keep readings guessing. Mystery and sci-fi fans alike will enjoy this exciting novel.
Sci-Fi Chick
Stunning world building, a plot that keeps you guessing and some totally old school in a new world case solving. Sci-fi at its best, a great read.
Random Redheaded Ramblings
"The Ark feels like a real place, complete with high and low society, political problems, and even a unique sport. The details felt logical and cohesive. This was a fun read and a damn solid first book.
Sarah Celiann
Oh my goodness, I SO enjoyed this book! It s got so many of the elements I look for in a good crossgenre a nifty mystery with the ultimate locked room (can t get any more locked room than a spaceship racing towards humanity s hope of a new home), a man who loves his job as a detective (largely because it s really, really easy), a dark scenario and yet some light humor and a potential end to our species.
Buried Under Books
The Ark is an extremely fast page turner, to both unspool the mystery, and immerse oneself in the main character and his plight.
Skiffy & Fanty
Stunning world building, a plot that keeps you guessing and some totally old school in a new world case solving. This is a great start to the series as the ending does leave you wanting more. Sci-fi at its best, a great read.
Heather Duff
I really enjoyed this book. I was entertained; I was interested and involved. And I really look forward to following these people as their journey continues.
Looking for a Good Book
The writing is excellent, the pace superb and it s one of those books that feels like a quick read until you look out the window and see the sun rise, realising you ve been reading for several hours.
The British Fantasy Society
The Ark and Patrick S. Tomlinson certainly deserve more recognition and I strongly urge you to become their next supporter.
