This book is historical fiction about the Californian, the closest ship to the Titanic when she hit the iceberg. The author uses his research and knowledge of human nature to explain what happened. I found the explanation very interesting and plausible. To me, this book is for someone more interested in the historical part, which is extremely well done, than the fictional part, which seemed a bit of a distraction. Be advised that the focus of this book is the Californian and her crew, so if you're looking for Leonardo and Kate, this is not it . Recommend to readers of non-fiction or history, particularly maritime history.… (altro)
A three and a half star rating from me as I felt it became a little too repetitive and thus too long. Lots to learn in this interesting historical novel about the sinking of the Titanic. Could the death toll have been lower if nearby ships had responded to the distress flares? Was the Captain of a nearby ship in someway culpable for his inaction? If you like to “google” whilst you read, then this one is for you.
