Book Description
EXACTLY WHAT DID THE CAPTAIN HEAR?
For Century Airlines Captain Jake Adams, it's been another routine flight. Well, as close to what can be considered routine given circumstances of late. For a long period, Adams has approached a specific spot of the ocean with dread....been plagued with physical painss....and has encountered numerous mechanical problems with his aircraft. And, at the fear of sounding certifiable to his peers, he has neglected to mention any of the strange radio signals he picks up on his headset as the plane soars high over the Atlantic ocean, just south of Newfoundland's Grand Banks.
Dit, dit, dit...dat.dat, dat....dit, did, dit...
The faint, almost ghostly call is instantly recognizable: "SOS" followed by three distinct call letters: "MGY."
Jake's heart races when he hears the signal....it's not a coincidence as the deep ocean that they pass over contains the grave of the legendary RMS Titanic.
Jake's connection to the lost liner cannot be a coincidence as the incidents grow increasingly stronger with each of his transatlatic flights. And then....the dreams start. What is his connection to the lost liner and its First Officer William Murdoch?
Titanic is, indeed, calling to Jake. But what does she want? And will her secrets be revealed before Jake and his crew, as well as the passengers on his plane meet the same fate as the legendary liner did over eight decades before them?
Calling is a masterfully written novel that will dazzle the reader with the splendor of the long-lost Edwardian era. Author Diana Bristow meticulously researched the politics of the era, as well as customs and etiquette to produce this page-turner of a novel. The story cuts between present day Century Airlines and 1912 to capture a glimpse of the demise of Titanic. The plot is riveting, weaving historical fiction with psychic undertones and reincarnation.
Titanic Calling is an adventure for the Titanic enthusiast or the casual reader!
About the Author
Diana Bristow is the author of Titanic Calling. When she started writing the novel in the early 1980's, there were many aspects of the disaster that did not make sense to her. As a former Eastern flight attendant and pilot herself, Bristow could make no sense of Titanic's crew's actions. This lauched an investigation into the disaster which resulted in her to acclaimed Titanic books, "Titanic RIP: Can Dead Men Tell Tales," and "Titanic: Sinking The Myths." She also has two forthcoming books that will soon be available from Katco Media. "Captain Eddie's Finest" will tell of the golden age of Eastern Airlines and the story of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker; her new untitled Titanic work, which expands tremendously upon her previous two nonfiction books will be released in the spring of 2006. Bristow, a member of MENSA, lives in Southern Florida.
