Description

This is the book behind the upcoming Hollywood release Poseidon, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfuss. A relaxing Christmas cruise soon turns into a tragic accident as the luxury ocean liner, SS Poseidon, capsizes under a colossal tidal wave, and the passengers on board suddenly find themselves struggling for survival. A group of fifteen passengers face daunting obstacles, challenges and dangers, as well as a string of personal crises, in a fearsome race to escape the capsized ship. In a timescale of just ten hours, they face a life-changing physical and emotional battle forever changing the people they had once been. This extraordinary novel captures the true essence of human courage and spirit in a gripping fight for survival. First published 1969.
