People of the Flood
They try to tame a world, but fail to tame their hearts.
Eight terrified men and women, four families, survive the raging Deluge. They land on an empty Earth, with strange winds that howl across the desolation of the world. Every thought should focus on survival. But the passions suppressed in the Ark now boil into feuds that pass on to their children.
Gaea—the mother of all, she strives to maintain unity.
Kush—proud and stubborn, he courts a love that could shatter his heart.
Ham—trains his sons to dominate, laughs at his drunken father and receives a terrible curse.
Deborah—beautiful but cunning, she can’t decide which of Noah’s grandsons should taste her embrace.
Beor—loves beauty and possesses the courage of a giant. His goodness brings him the evilest treachery.

I was born in Canada and remember as a small boy crawling in my snow-fort. I closed my eyes, and when I tried to open them, they were frozen shut. I didn't panic, but wiped away the ice crystals, unglued my eyes and kept on building my tunnel. Those were great days! I moved to Central California before seventh grade and couldn't believe I lived in a land where oranges grew on trees and you could pick grapes from the vine.
I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, what kind of work specifically. I was miserable not knowing and bordering on desperate. Then one day a friend gave me his typewriter. I began working on a novel. A different person told me it was much easier on a computer, so I bought one and began getting up at 4:30 A.M. each morning before work, writing for three hours. My eyes were unglued once again as the pang of misery left my gut. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: write. So now that's what I do, I write, and write, and write, and I love it.

The story of the post-flood sons of Noah continues with focus on the clan of Ham, son Kush, and grandson Nimrod. Very engaging Biblical historical fantasy fiction. The slaying of the dragon and the formation of Nimrod s Hunters is brillliant.

The establishment of villages by patriarch.
Writer develops opinion of how God separated men to pour the earth. Brothers fight amongst themselves. Woman bought as wife turns to cause strife among cousins. Curse comes into play because man's sinful nature reemergence.

I loved this book. Really gave an interesting insight into the very short snippets into the lives of Noah, and the first few generations of the Ark.
