Praise for David Maine and "The Preservationist" " Brilliant... Think "Life of Pi" thousands of years earlier with a much larger cast of characters." ---"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) " Part domestic drama, part supernatural thriller, Maine' s unsettling retelling of Noah and the ark feels as realistic and suspenseful... as any modern tale." ---"TimeOut New York" " Envisions the events in Noe' s life with awe and realism, and with a voice that is clear, distinct, and (remarkably, under the circumstances) dry... An elegant, inventive book, and in no way a cynical one." ---"The" "New York Times" " Smart, engaging... Maine gives readers a pertinent, wittily real, and unexpectedly moving portrait of simple faith, flawed humanity, familial infighting, and nagging doubt." ---"O" magazine " We can reencounter the hoary Old Testament icon afresh as a sensual, fallible human being and really appreciate his greatness and his sacrifice." ---"Time " " Maine' s writing is pithy and smart, and his characters have convincing voices, reverent and irreverent, humorously dry and compassionate." ---"New York Post" " Outstanding... A treat both for believers and for those who consider themselves devout only when it comes to discovering good books... A great story, told remarkably well." ---"BookPage "Maine, David is the author of 'Fallen' with ISBN 9780312328498 and ISBN 0312328494.
