“Shelby himself had to pull himself together and not succumb to the sickening, almost childlike fear that he was no longer alive; that he was dead and in hell. For the men passed them by as though they were not there, sometimes brushing up against them as if they had been invisible. And indeed, in the gloom it was difficult to distinguish and had he not been so fearful, he would have noted that there was a considerable diminishing of light from the emergency bulbs.”
Gallico’s tense and dramatic tale of a gigantic ocean liner—a floating Grand Hotel—and its passengers' struggle to survive when bizarre disaster strikes at sea.
