About this listen
Prepare for a cruise like no other.
When an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes Rose of the Sea, the pleasure cruise becomes a drifting nightmare. Powerless and desperate, the 1,100 passengers and crew must face their new reality: No one is coming to save them.
The first mate. The EMP destroys the captain's pacemaker, killing him in a heartbeat and Gunner McCrae is thrust into the top position. But no amount of training could prepare him for the savagery of desperate humans and an unforgiving ocean.
The anchor-woman. Gabrielle Kinsella should be reporting on the headline of the century. Instead she's fighting for her children's lives.
The acrobat. Held captive by a predator as a child, Madeline Jewel found freedom as the ship's acrobatic dancer. But being trapped in an elevator brings her worst fears back to life.
The gambler. Zon Woodrow won his ticket to the cruise in a poker match. With the ship's security system obliterated, Zon turns his attention to the casino's vault. And this time, the house won't win.
As resources dwindle aboard Rose of the Sea, the body count continues to rise. Will ordinary people survive an extraordinary disaster? Or will they drown in darkness?

Don’t get me wrong, it was slightly more gripping than elevator music, and although I guess I knew exactly how it was probably going to progress, there were almost no twists and turns in the plots, which would made one exclaim “well I didn’t see that coming!”
It's what it says on the tin, it’s pulp fiction with all the expected clichés and love themes, set piece villains, family reconciliations set in a dystopian world of a ravaged cruise ship.
Some of this was genuinely difficult to listen to, perhaps the schmaltz played well in the American market, but this was just cringe worthy to my English tastes and sensabilities.
I knew what I was getting, so my bad for enduring it, but TBH I felt somehow compelled to see this book to the bitter end and it even provoked me to write a review, which I seldom do these days.
But whilst it’s in the Plus Catalogue, then dig in, or not . . .
Pulp fiction at its finest . .
