This is a novel set around the notorious sinking of this passenger liner by a German torpedo in 1915. While the author has clearly done his research well and the book is full of details about naval warfare and the limits of American neutrality and other key issues of the time, I don't think by and large this worked as a novel. I thought the main characters - two US journalists and two nurses travelling to Europe - were rather flat and one-dimensional and the underlying plot about the discovery of the presence of munitions on board the ship not very clearly drawn out. The final few chapters on the actual sinking were dramatically recounted and the fate of the main characters was ambiguous. The author might have been better to have written a non-fiction account of this tragedy. (
