A well written and suspenseful story about the Titanic and the few passengers involved.
Since we already know what happened with the ship back in 1912, the suspense was growing. The author's recreation of this time and introduction to the leading characters, was masterfully plotted. So much so, that you cannot help but to get on board without fear of drowning.
Though I did not understand the New Atlantis angle very well, I still could enjoy the buildup. Maybe this was explained thoroughly in the previous books of the series but for this one, the uncertainty created more tension; in a good way.
Each character's backstory was introduced to us with so much care that I really connected with each one on their quest to survive the life they had. Each had a reason that drove them to a spot on the ship which created the illusion even further. And the plot thickened.
The love between Max and Eilish was the highlight of the story. When two people connect in such a way you cannot argue with destiny. Even though the one came from the future. Their ability to adapt and love without restraint a marvel to behold.
Lizzie's story tugged the heart, Marco had so much to gain, Pia's story relatable, Max's was caught in a selfish marriage... each part vital to the success of the plot.
Really an enjoyable read from beginning to end. ( )

The sixth book in the “New Atlantis Time Travel Romance” series by Nhys Glover won the SFR Galaxy Award in 2013, and for good reason. One of the judges said: “Heroism and true romance set inside one of the most heart-rending tragedies of all time? Oh, yeah, that deserves an Award!”. However, those who haven’t read the first five books in the author’s series, should know that they are all standalones, so they can start with whichever they like. “The Titan Drowns” is a perfect start, especially since it is permanently free on Amazon.

The premise of this time travel romance novel is absolutely brilliant: a team of people who want to make a change in the world travel back to the past, on the Titanic, and their goal is to save all children by bringing them to the future. The three members of the rescue team couldn’t have been more different: Pia Rogaland is shy, insecure, and her only desire is to save the children, Elish Cork is feisty and loves adventures, and Karl Ontario is a lab geek who would rather spend the rest of his life in his medical facility. The fact that they are nothing alike makes them work together so well.

Their mission is by no means an easy one. Aside from the fact that they need to first identify the suitable targets, they also have to come up with a good explanation for their insane attempt of taking them to the future. It’s difficult to convince so many people that the unsinkable Titanic is nothing but a tragedy waiting to happen. Things get even more complicated when Pia falls in love with a man she is not allowed to save. Their romantic relationship plays out in a few, fateful days, and the fact that they are so perfect for each other makes the inevitable separation even more heart-breaking. What was supposed to be a rescue mission might turn into a death sentence for everyone involved.

Even though there have been so many books written on the Titanic theme, author Nhys Glover manages to bring something new and fresh to her story. Certainly, the best part is the romance, and fans of this genre will immediately fall in love with Pia and her lover from the past. There’s nothing more compelling in a novel than an impossible love story, and Nhys Glover has managed to take this theme to a whole new level. Readers will root for the characters and hope that a miracle will allow them to avoid the tragedy, and live happily ever after.

“The Titan Drowns” is one of those books which readers will want to reread and recommend to family and friends. It is one of a kind, and it is permanently free on Amazon, so don’t forget to download your copy.

Find it on Amazon.
