About this listen

Prepare for a cruise like no other.

When an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes Rose of the Sea, the pleasure cruise becomes a drifting nightmare. Powerless and desperate, the 1,100 passengers and crew must face their new reality: No one is coming to save them.

The first mate. The EMP destroys the captain's pacemaker, killing him in a heartbeat and Gunner McCrae is thrust into the top position. But no amount of training could prepare him for the savagery of desperate humans and an unforgiving ocean.

The anchor-woman. Gabrielle Kinsella should be reporting on the headline of the century. Instead she's fighting for her children's lives.

The acrobat. Held captive by a predator as a child, Madeline Jewel found freedom as the ship's acrobatic dancer. But being trapped in an elevator brings her worst fears back to life.

The gambler. Zon Woodrow won his ticket to the cruise in a poker match. With the ship's security system obliterated, Zon turns his attention to the casino's vault. And this time, the house won't win.

As resources dwindle aboard Rose of the Sea, the body count continues to rise. Will ordinary people survive an extraordinary disaster? Or will they drown in darkness?

Nail biting adventure

Wow what a story! I was hooked from the first few minutes and couldn’t wait to go back to listen to it. The characters are all interesting and relatable, especially Gabby, from a parents point of view! I loved it and can not wait to hear what happens next…

Mildly entertaining

Not too shabby but not a series that I’d carry on with but ok for a Plus Catalogue freebie.

Poor performance

Poorly written and female narrator is most annoying. I ended up skipping every chapter when the female was narrating

Dreadful

Absolute drivel - the crew are useless, the repeated incidents beggar belief. An interesting idea, but needed better plotting and writing.

The dreadful narration and storyline.

Not worth your listening time. Awful narration. Unsympathetic characters. Poor, predictable story. Listen to something else.

No story line ever seems to get finish, no clear point to the story.

Unfortunately poor. Lots of story lines but none really get finished. Some parts are rushed where others seem to take ages but go nowhere. Characters aren’t really developed. There are hints at back stories but they never cone out, characters are often superficial in present and no hint to the future. You seem to be left thinking what was the point of the story.
