Paul I loved reading this book, Dan! Your narrative vividly contrasts the events between the frantic preparations of the Carpathia's crew and the saddening laziness of the Californian's crew during that tragic night. You are amazing in bringing a "frantic" feeling to the sequence of events as you tell a vivid story between ...hope (Carpathia) and doom (Titanic). You even present a chapter that illustrates the ideal scenario that would likely have happened "if a captain like Arthur Rostron" had been at the helm of the Californian and hypothetically responded to the early distress rockets (my words in quotes). I spent many nights engrossed in your book, so much that it felt like I was having a conversation with you. I have even reread the book at least 5 consecutive times to pick up additional details that I didn't immediately get from previous readings ... your narrative is THAT captivating! If you are ever in New Jersey for a Titanic discussion or conference, please let me know! -- Dr. Paul
Chapter 9 The British Inquiry Despite its intense and probing nature–-or perhaps because of it–-the United States Senate Investigation into the loss of the Titanic was neither well-regarded nor well-received in Great Britain; indeed it is still regarded today with disdain within some circles of ...

Sociopath captain let Titanic's passengers die without a qualm - FOR nearly a century debate has raged over whether he was the man who ignored the plight of hundreds who died in the sinking of the Titanic.
Becky Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I must admit I was caught off guard with the conclusion DAB arrived at but not in a bad way. Excellent read!
Greg Will definitely be picking this up soon. I just bought "Unsinkable" and I'll be reading that in the next few weeks!
The Other Side of the Night has been officially released by Casemate Publishing, as of May 19. It will be arriving at your local bookseller soon, and is available online at Amazon.com, Borders.com and Barnes & Noble.com.

Hi Dan - I just now spent more time reading and I checked out your web-site again. I managed, some way, to miss the fact that you wrote "Unsinkable." It is one of my favorites of the couple of dozen books I've read. I'll be doing something I rarely do - (shamefully) - buy a NEW book instead of waiting for the used b...ook store!
If the rest of you following this book haven't read "Unsinkable," I suggest you rush out and find a copy. Excellent read.
Becky
Dan - excellent writing. I'm anxious to get my hands on a copy of your book - any day now!!! Also anxious to see if you draw some of the same conclusions I have. ??
My grandson, who will turn 13 on Friday asked me a few months ago why I keep reading books about Titanic. "If you've read one, isn't that enough?" I ...responded, as a wise grandma should, "There's always something new to learn and always a different slant on the story."
Paul Lee Hi Dan, Hopefully I can get a review to you soon! I'd also like to take this opportunity to publicise my own book on the Titanic and the Californian at http://www.paullee.com/book_details.php

The Other Side of the Night A fresh excerpt from Chapter 7 has just been posted! Let me know what you think of it!
The Californian docked in Boston Harbor on April 19 virtually unnoticed and with no fanfare whatsoever. By coincidence it was the same day that the first hearings of the Senate Investigation into the Titanic disaster began in New York...
The Other Side of the Night A breathtaking new passage from Chapter 5 has just been posted. You're invited to read it and share your thoughts!
With the stranger, for whatever cause or reason, having stopped firing her rockets and apparently vanishing, Stone and Gibson resumed their watch. For the next hour nothing happened. Then at 3:30 a.m...
