A fascinating, well-researched read.
Kate Atkinson
Gripping, superbly well-researched...he ratchets up the tension as the doomed ship speeds towards the inevitable. Though you know it's going to happen, you keep praying that it won't, right up until the moment when the torpedo strikes. You feel this way because Larson makes you care...Thanks to Larson's vivid narrative, you are there with those passengers in the thick of it. It may have happened 100 years ago, but this masterpiece made it feel like yesterday.
James Delingpole, MAIL ON SUNDAY
With practised skill Larson confronts the emotional pathos of wartime tragedy.
Iain Finlayson, THE TIMES
Vivid...Larson tells his story well.
Andrew Holgate, SUNDAY TIMES
Larson's irresistibly pacey narrative moves between the various scenes of action, conjuring them up in vivid detail...the sources are remarkable...[his] detailed conversational endnotes are an added bonus.
Lucy Moore, LITERARY REVIEW
A gripping piece of narrative history which moves almost with the same speed as Schwieger's torpedo.
NAVY NEWS
Larson has an eye for haunting, unexploited detail...illuminating...suspenseful.
SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
The master of popular non-fiction...a gripping account.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Larson's page turner brings the disaster to life.
EVENT magazine
Larson's approach to history resembles a novelist's... a rattling read.
GUARDIAN
Gripping...absorbing...however, it is when dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy, along with the attendant conspiracy theories, that Larson breaks new ground. I found it very hard to put down.
SOLDIER magazine
Larson . . . writes non-fiction books that read like novels, real page-turners. This one is no exception . . . thoroughly engrossing
