Once a celebrated Naval officer, John Rowland has fallen from
grace. After slipping into alcoholism, Roland is dismissed from the
Navy and shamed. Having lost everything, Rowland now works as a
deckhand on the Titan, operating deck machinery and keeping watch.
However, Rowland is just as shocked and horrified as the civilian
passengers when the mighty ocean liner collides with an iceberg,
beginning the ship's slow sink to ruin. As the Titan sinks, its
passengers are frenzied, as they realize that there are not enough
lifeboats for all of them. Amid the chaotic panic of the wreck,
Rowland finds the young daughter of an ex-lover and is immediately
drawn to protecting the child. Together, Rowland and the young girl
fight for their survival, rushing to escape the ship and hoping to
find a lifeboat. With their lives on the line, Rowland understands
that this is his chance at redemption-if he can find a way to save
them both. Filled with drama, suspense, action, and sentiment, The
Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson has remains to be engrossing
and fascinating to modern readers. First published in 1898, The
Wreck of the Titan has earned a place in pop culture with film,
television, and literary allusions, and is often compared to the
historic sinking of the Titanic. Since the Titanic wrecked over a
decade after Robertson's work was released, audiences have even
suspected Robertson to be precognizant, though the author himself
denied this and brushed off the similarities. This edition of The
Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson now features a new,
eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both
modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of The
Wreck of the Titan crafts an accessible and pleasant reading
experience for modern audiences while restoring the original
mastery of Morgan Robertson's work.
