Lucas Forester didn’t hate his wife. Michelle was brilliant, sophisticated and beautiful. Sure, she had extravagant spending habits, that petty attitude, a total disregard for anyone below her status. But she also had a lot to offer. Most notably: wealth that only the one percent could comprehend. For years, Lucas has been honing a flawless plan to inherit Michelle’s fortune. Unfortunately, it involves taking a hit out on her. Every track is covered, no trace left behind, and now Lucas plays the grieving husband so well he deserves an award.

The mark appeared while I slept and can’t be ignored. I must present myself to the consulate, and from there, I don’t know what happens. While I’ve been taught the mark is an honor, I have no idea what it means. Questioning isn’t encouraged. I must obey. My change in status exposes me to a violent side of society that I never suspected. Brings me to a strange and wondrous place known as the "surface", where I am immersed in a different way of living. I discover pleasure. I am involved in intrigue and learn about lies and different perspectives of the truth.

Story
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

A Labyrinth of Intrigue
- By Jean on 12-22-18

Publisher's summary
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.

An unforgettable story of children in wartime, of heroism at sea, and - above all - of courage and the power of the human spirit. On September 17, 1940, at a little after 10 at night, a German submarine torpedoed the passenger liner S.S. City of Benares in the North Atlantic. There were 406 people on board, but the ship's prized passengers were 90 children whose parents had elected to send their boys and girls away from Great Britain to escape the ravages of World War II. They were considered lucky, headed for quiet, peaceful, and relatively bountiful Canada.

Believing that they had won, the citizens of the galaxy rebuilt. The Inner Worlds, which had escaped the worst of the war's ravages, became even more insular, while the Rim worlds adopted a free and easy way with law and order.

Which seemed reasonable until architect Pietro Indelicato began critically watching her every move. From the sweeping ocean views to the scent of the lemon trees, there's nothing Pietro loves more than his hometown. And after seeing too many botched jobs and garish design choices, he's done watching from the sidelines.

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.

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.

Historical fiction that’s more history than fiction.
I was excited for this book because I love historical fiction. However, it read more like history with a little bit of description added rather than fiction. The characters are incredibly one dimensional, there is no theme or arc other than to simply follow the events of the sinking of the Titanic and the subsequent rescue. Which is all really interesting stuff. And honestly, if it were just a non-fiction book about that, I might not have picked it up. But, because it was billed us historical fiction, I was interested. If you go into this book thinking you’re going to read a lot of details about the rescue of the passengers on the titanic, thinly veiled with some point of view characters, you’ll be fine.

An old fashioned book- for better or worse
if you read the other reviews of this book you will find it to be a referendum on old-fashioned values and writing style. The all of the major characters in the book are devout christians (of various stripes) and the book devotes several chapters exclusively to religious services in which they participated. The book also has an almost Victorian sentimentality that those who prefer a more modern style may find mawkish. Readers not put off by the book's religiosity and it's turn of the twentieth century sentimentality will enjoy a fresh retelling of the Titanic's sinking from a different viewpoint. The book is very well researched and very lightly fictionalized. It might have been more exciting if she had invented more characters to provide drama; Almost everyone in the story behaves very well in a trying situation and none of the major characters have demons against which to struggle.
As to the performances, the book contains several hymns that run to several verses on the text and the female narrator has a fine voice and did very creditable Acapella renditions.

A Brilliant Night of Stars and Ice
Plot. The sinking of the Titanic, told primarily from the viewpoint of a 3rd class female survivor. Focus is on the Captain and crew of the Carpathia, the ship that responded to Titanic's distress calls and raced to assist in rescue. The book does not address technical details of the sinking, but rather human tragedy, heroism, and loss of life. Although the fundamental history is known by most, you'll learn a bit. For instance, the Carpathia navigated dozens of icebergs hundreds of feet tall to reach lifeboats. There was also an immediate blame-game furor by many, including the United States Senate.
Liked: It's a good recounting of events, some fiction, but most is a well-researched history.
Not so hot: Gratuitously maudlin in areas, especially with regard to religious aspects - the narrator sings hymns.
Written by Rebecca Connolly, narrated by Alana Kerr Collins and Antony Ferguson, just over eight hours of listening in unabridged format, released in April 2022 by Shadow Mountain.
