Acerca de esta escucha

Based on the remarkable true story of the Carpathia—the only ship and her legendary captain who answered the distress call of the sinking Titanic.

Just after midnight on April 15, 1912, the passenger steamship Carpathia receives a distress signal from the largest passenger liner ever built, RMS Titanic, which is on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York.

Captain Arthur Rostron is awakened to an enormous maritime emergency with little information to guide his actions in answering the call for help. Is the dire threat to the unsinkable Titanic accurate? His ship is more than four hours away; will Carpathia hold together if pushed to never-before-tested speeds? What if his ship also strikes an iceberg? How many of Titanic’s 2,200 passengers will the Carpathia be able to accommodate? And with the freezing temperatures, will there be any survivors by the time the Carpathia arrives?

Kate Connolly is excited to join her sister in America and proud to be traveling on the grand Titanic, which was built in her Irish homeland. As a passenger in third-class accommodations, she is among the last to receive instruction and help after Titanic hits an iceberg. Among the chaos of abandoning ship, the chances of her securing a spot in a lifeboat appear grim. With the help of several men, also from Ireland, Kate finally reaches the upper decks and feels lucky to board Lifeboat 13, although no one knows if or when a rescue ship will come. She fears the icy water and wonders if they’ll all freeze to death. After seeing their magnificent ship submerge into the abyss, and hearing the cries of hundreds of fellow passengers drowning, it is almost too much to bear, and Kate fleetingly thinks succumbing to her ordeal is the easiest escape.

Told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Captain Rostron on the Carpathia and Kate Connolly on the Titanic, this historical novel is a compelling, heart-pounding account of two eyewitnesses to an epic disaster. Rostron’s heroic and compassionate leadership, his methodical preparations for rescue, and his grit and determination to act honorably and selflessly to save lives and care for the survivors, sets the course for this awe-inspiring story.

Brilliant Historical Fiction!

Wow! This book was incredible! The detail and story were heart wrenching. I was brought to tears many times while reading. Whether it was in the Titanic’s point of view, or the Carpathia’s, I felt like I was there with them. Freezing on a life boat or struggling to get to the survivors. So wonderfully told and I will definitely be telling everyone I know to read it!

Very good

So nice to hear the story of the events of the Titanic told from a different perspective. This story was very well written and preformed.

History presented at it's best

the author sites all her research in notes at the end. These notes validated my emotion, dismay and tears as I listened to this well narrated story... History not to be forgotten.

There is still hope for us humans…

Congratulations Mrs Rebecca Connolly!!! Precisely in the present days when the world is facing wars, and people whose values have changed so much in such short time. A historical novel that extracts from a terrible catastrophe, the best of human nature.
It is so good for the heart and mind to hear this type of facts that really happened not so long time ago.

Interesting and Enjoyable

This was a very interesting and enjoyable story the narration was outstanding although sometimes the volume is a little low. While it is a fiction novel, it is based on a lot of historical facts.

Engaging Story

I thought the tale was well told. I'm surprised that some people were put off by the fact that some of the people in the story were religious. I am not at all religious, but didn't feel that there was much Jesus-speak, just references to people who were of faith. I could've done without that part with the singing, though. I advanced the book 30 seconds at a time--something that I never do--and my cat ran out of the room. As is usual with me and most books, I thought there were good ending points before the story actually ended. I DID appreciate the length of this book. A lot. I am recommending it to others.

The story writing and narration were brilliantly done! A standing ovation!!!

I have always been fascinated with the Titanic. Such a tragic but fascinating event. I truly enjoyed the audible version of this historical fiction story. I applaud the author and both narrators for their work!!! If you enjoyed the Titanic movie you will truly enjoy this story!

Great story

I’m a big Titanic buff and this book is very good. The story kept me interested and I didn’t want to stop listening. I’d like to thank the author for writing this book.
