<p><b>A fascinating, revelatory novel based on the true story of the ship, and its crew, that failed to come to the sinking <i>Titanic</i>''s aid. Set on board the <i>Californian </i>during those terrible hours, and in Boston in the aftermath of the disaster, Antonia Senior has called ''historical fiction at its best''. A perfect read for fans of Robert Harris and CJ Sansom, which gives a whole new side to <i>A Night To Remember</i>.</b><br><br>On a black night in April 1912, fifteen hundred passengers and crew perish as the <i>Titanic</i> slowly sinks beneath the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. Charting the same perilous course through the icebergs is the <i>SS Californian</i>, close enough for her crew to see the eight white distress rockets fired by the <i>Titanic</i>. Yet the <i>Californian </i>fails to act, and later her crew insist that they saw nothing.<br><br>As news of the disaster spreads throughout America, journalists begin a feeding frenzy, desperate for stories.
