As the Titanic and her travellers sank slowly into the Atlantic Ocean after stunning an iceberg past due at night of April 14, 1912, a near by ship seemed on. Second Official Herbert Stone, in charge of the midnight watch on the SS Californian sitting idly a few mls north, observed the distress rockets that the Titanic terminated. He alerted the captain, Stanley Lord, who was sleeping in the chartroom below, but Lord didn't come to the bridge. Eight rockets were terminated through the dark time of the midnight watch, and eight rockets were ignored. The next morning hours, the Titanic was at the bottom of the sea, and much more than 1,500 individuals were dead. When they learned of the level of the tragedy, Lord and Rock performed everything they could to hide their role in the disaster, but, pursued by newspapermen, lawyers, and political leaders in America and Great britain, their terrible top secret was eventually disclosed. The Midnight Watch is a fictional informing of what may have occurred that nighttime on the SS Californian and the resulting desperation of Official Rock and Captain Lord in the aftermath of their inaction. Advised not only from the perspective of the SS Californian team but also through the eyes of a family of third-class travellers who perished in the disaster, the narrative is attracted mutually by Steadman, a tenacious Boston journalist who does not rest until the truth is available. David Dyer's The Midnight Watch is a robust and remarkable debut - the result of many years of research in Liverpool, London, NY, and Boston and informed by the author's own experience as a ship's officer and a lawyer.
