Three people are in charge of Genesis I or the Ark: Colonel Kaleb Titan, Captain Melissa Deluzia and a biologist, Jessica.  They are travelling to Terra II with every species of animal from Earth.  Once the trio arrive they are responsible for delivering the animals to various diverse sites on Terra II. Their sister ship, Genesis II arrives in a matter of weeks with two thousand people to begin colonizing the beautiful virgin planet. 

Kaleb has managed to abstain from sexual interaction with Melissa and Jessica during the eight month voyage unaware that the women have routinely pleasured each other, wishing that Kaleb would join them.

Closing in on Terra II the Ark is forced to go through an unknown cloud minutes after Kaleb is bitten by a wolf in one of the holding pens.  He quickly figures out that something is very different about him.  Kaleb has been altered; his DNA now shows mutated human/wolf DNA.  Then, for some unknown reason, Genesis II arrives much too soon.  Before Kaleb can explain to the other ship’s captain about his altered genetics his new, stronger senses tell him that something is not right with the other command crew members. Something is off.  What should be a simple, straightforward colonization is turning into chaos.  Something is desperately wrong, but Kaleb, Melissa, and Jessica are on their own to save thousands of lives, human and animal, before it’s too late and they are all condemned to death.

Prepare yourself for dark and dangerous twists and turns as well as powerful primal loving in Last Flight of the Ark.  The main characters are intriguing in the way they handle all the problems, in particular the DNA mutation.  Kaleb is a tormented hero whereas the women are feisty.  Last Flight of the Ark takes unexpected avenues in the telling of this sometimes unnerving tale of human strength and grit.  Take the time to check out Last Flight of the Ark, it’s a hot and chilling original.
