Review

In this highly speculative book, Ottawa author T.W. McCabe outlines his
rationale for seeking the funds, information, and manpower necessary to
build a scale replica of Noah’s Ark in anticipation of an impending
cataclysmic flood that will eradicate much of the world. According to
McCabe, this world-ending event will result from a dramatic and sudden
shift of the north and south poles over the earth’s crust; similar
shifts have occurred throughout history, resulting in giant tsunamis,
horrendous earthquakes, and even ice ages.

To support his theory, McCabe draws on Charles Hapgood’s pole shift
theory and a wide range of other sources: biblical passages, the
Sibylline Oracles, Madame Helena Blavatsky, Mother Shipton, Nostradamus,
Edgar Cayce, Count Louis Hamon (Cheiro), and Gordon Michael Scallion. He
also discusses various religions, cults, and philosophies; scientific
disciplines and a number of scientists he has met; the myth of the Great
Flood; the merits of homeopathy versus physiotherapy; and the
shortcomings of modern technology.

His candid autobiographical revelations include information about his
“criminal career,” which resulted in a three-and-a-half-year
incarceration; his participation in an eight-year alcohol rehabilitation
program; his friendships with

like-minded individuals; the breakup of his family and his subsequent
stint as a single parent; and his financial destitution. An entire
chapter is about “sharing air with Shelley,” his current partner.
This book will appeal to those interested in end-of-the-world
prophecies.
