Description
'The Poseidon Adventure' by Paul Gallico is a gripping survival novel set aboard the SS Poseidon, a luxury ocean liner travelling from New York to Athens. On New Year’s Eve, the ship is struck by a massive undersea earthquake, producing a huge tsunami that overturns the vessel and leaves its surviving passengers trapped inside the upturned hull. A small group led by the determined Reverend Frank Scott decides that their only chance of survival is to make their way upward through the inverted ship, searching for a route to the surface. First published in 1969, the novel combines disaster, adventure and psychological tension as its characters struggle against the sea, the ship and their own fears.
