Sunday, April 14, 1912 1140 p.m.
In less than three hours, the Titanic will sink.
Most passengers have retired to their staterooms after another glorious day on the world’s most prominent ocean liner. Little did they know, all would soon be lost when the unsinkable RMS Titanic slips under the surface for its final journey to the bottom of the Atlantic.
This is the story of the RMS Titanic’s first, and only ocean cruise. The story is told in a compelling countdown which ends with the survivors disembarking their rescue ship in New York.
The book describes the actions and thoughts of some of the leading players during those final five days including Mr. Hugh Walter McElroy–Purser, William McMaster Murdoch–1st Officer, Jack Phillips–- senior wireless operator, Wallace Hartley—Bandmaster, Thomas Andrews—Chief Engineer, and of course the principle characters in this story…
Captain Edward Smith–Why did he decide this would be his last voyage? How did he carry himself as he interacted with passengers, management, and crew? Driven by pride and ego, read how Captain Smith is pushed to make the run to New York in record time.
Bruce Ismay–Widely accepted as the person who made the fateful decision to reduce the number of lifeboats. Why litter the deck when the ship herself is a lifeboat? The lifeboat debacle. Only 20 were available, and those could only carry 1178 of the 2200 souls on board.
Daniel & Mary Marvin–Young newlyweds with a promising future. Why did Mary have misgivings? How did Daniel, brave beyond his years, ensure the safety of his beloved?
All would agree the RMS Titanic was a magnificent, awe-inspiring ship. Over 882 feet long, 25 stories high and weighing 46,000 tons, she was the largest moving object ever built. According to the White Star’s own brochure, the Titanic was designed not to sink.
Read about the unbridled enthusiasm as the Titanic departs from Southampton on April 10, 1912, bound for New York with some of the world’s elite onboard.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a deadly menace was lurking submerged in the water, waiting silently for the oncoming ship.
A new take on one of the most infamous disasters in marine history.
....the clock is ticking and, for the unsinkable Titanic, it cannot be stopped.

Although I would love to have had the book be longer I enjoyed what there was. I have read many nonfiction books about the fine lady Titanic, so I know much of this was fact. I enjoyed the take on people I had not yet read about. I think the author did a good job, and it was a speedy read with nothing jarring to slow you down. You could almost imagine yourself there with them in the days before the tragedy.Product details

Titanic 5 Days to Disaster History Retold JB Lancaster eBook Reviews
I am a huge Titanic fan and enjoyed this book. I wish it would've been longer and felt as if it came to an abrupt ending. The editing could have been better as I kept finding misspellings and inconsistencies. Enjoyable overall.
This book takes you onboard the Titanic and gives you a glimpse of what the crew and the people in first class may have experienced.
Little fact. Lots of conjecture. Thin plot.
Interesting summary of fatal sailing
Having read more than one book and article on theTitanic, I appreciated Lancaster' s introduction of the human aspect of strengths and frailties.
