Review: Good Story, But...

This was a great story concept: What if The Titanic wasn't really The Titanic?  It starts with the crippling of The Titanic's twin ship, the Olympic, and goes on from there.  The story switches nicely between 100 years ago and now, with a connection between the firm for which Michael works and the White Star Line drawn.  What I didn't terribly enjoy was the addition of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the story, and the implication that in today's world a large corporation would be tracking one of its lesser employees (a food service man) and the folks involved in the Occupy movement.  Maybe I'm naive, but that connection seemed a little much for me.  Other than that, I did enjoy the book; it was a fast and easy read.
