Review: Titanic 2012 (Curse of RMS Titanic - an Inspector Alastair Ransom title)
Rating: 5 out of 5

First off, the genre. The author himself describes this book as a "paranormal generational historical novel of intrigue, suspense, and horror," which covers a lot of bases, but I would add one more: mystery.Walker starts with the premise that Captain Edward J. Smith scuttled his own ship, thereby sinking the unsinkable. But why?Jump ahead a hundred years. A dive team, on the centennial anniversary of the day the Titanic sunk, sets their sights on plundering the rumored myriad riches lying on the bottom in water so deep that up until now, divers couldn't possibly leave a sub to pick off treasure. Armed with technology allowing humans to literally breathe like fish underwater, the team of treasure hunters are about to learn a horrific secret that not only took the Titanic down, but threatens the future of humanity on earth.Walker has taken the historical mysteries surrounding the sinking of such a spectacular ship on her maiden voyage, and weaves a riveting tale that lives up to its billing of intrigue, suspense and horror.This review by Jinx Schwartz, award-winning author of the Hetta Coffey Mystery Series
