THE LAST SURVIVOR

About the Book

WHAT HAD HAPPENED ABOARD THE RMS WINDSOR? The world’s most beautiful and exclusive passenger ship had made a successful maiden voyage from England to New York City. Amidst columns of press coverage she would carry 600 passengers and crew, destination, Cherbourg, France, then on to Southampton, England. Her passenger manifest listed some of the wealthiest and most famous personalities in the world. Five days later a Russian trawler found her floating listlessly in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. When she failed to respond to radio contact, the Russian ship pulled alongside and a small party boarded her. They made a shocking discovery. All aboard were dead. If the Russian ship had arrived several hours earlier, its officers would have learned the reason for this tragedy. For, at that time, there was one person alive aboard RMS WINDSOR who knew what had happened. That person was the last survivor.
