<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>Once seen as a prediction of the sinking of the<i> Titanic</i>, this novella was written 14 years before that ill-fated event of 1912--now, on the centenary anniversary of the <i>Titanic's</i> sinking, the striking similarities can be examined again in this new edition</b> John Rowland, a disgraced former Royal Navy lieutenant, has taken employment as a lowly deck hand aboard the largest ship ever to have sailed, the <i>Titan</i>. One night in deep fog, the ship strikes a gigantic iceberg and sinks almost immediately. Written 14 years before the <i>Titanic's</i> sinking, this novella has been hailed in equal measures as a prophetic work and the work of pure coincidence. Certainly the similarities are striking: two unsinkable ships steam ahead in treacherous conditions, carrying privileged passengers, with insufficient lifeboats aboard.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Morgan Robertson</b> (1861-1915) was an American author of short stories and novels, the best-known being <i>Wreck of the Titan</i>. <strong>Sam Leith</b></b> is the former literary editor of the <i>Daily Telegraph</i> and the author of <i>Sod's Law</i>.
