About this ebook

In the Singapore Strait, two giants collide. One is a city of glass. The other is a floating bomb.

Featuring a foreword by Dr. (Capt.) Vivek Jain, Master Mariner, Barrister-at-Law.

The Saipan Star, a luxury masterpiece, is gored by the Iron Titan tanker in a blinding monsoon, turning the world’s busiest shipping lane into a geopolitical time bomb. The Titan vents explosive vapours while the Saipan Star slowly rolls toward the abyss. Corporate instincts are useless against physics. While a mutiny brews among the terrified elite, a desperate, illegal grounding is the only hope.

First such fiction book on Cruise liner collided with big oil tanker in Singapore Straits. Fantastic story of suspense at bridge, engine room and passengers. When a passenger ship sinks, usually not much time to evacuate. Here the Captain grounded the ship to stay afloat, very good idea to buy time. Recommend all to read for maritime disaster

The kind of story never have chance to read especially collision disaster, not many author who have experienced on this subject. Lucky with a Master Mariner writing this, certainly added more intriguing and drama in the plots. Should have more of such books, I love to read. Highly recommended.
