On Saturday, May 1, 1915, Dora shivers on the Cunard dock in New York. The Germans have printed a warning in the newspaper trying to scare Americans away from the Lusitania. Her parents and the other first-class passengers scoff at such uncivilized scare tactics. But that very night at dinner the waiter delivers her a note under glass. A stranger signed Doom orders her to come to the first-class lounge at midnight. The man pulls a gun on her. She barely escapes with her life. The next day she bumps into a fellow passenger who was assaulted for catching the saboteur in the engine room playing with an incendiary bomb. The Lusitania sinks on May 7 after a mysterious second explosion. Even in the English countryside at Ware House, Dora cannot escape the killer. He trashes her room as he trashed her cabin on the ship. Her fianc disappears on a secret mission to the Arabian Desert. He is followed by assassins as she is being hunted down back home in Pittsburgh. As a friend comments to her, It's a World War, isn't it? Dora must sift through clues everything from an antique humidor, to a girl behind veils hiding in a house in London who conceals valuables in her bookcase, to cryptic Hittite script on the bottom of a box, to the elusive smile of a blond-haired, blue-eyed colonel wearing an Arab keffiyeh. Everything conspires to drive Dora to that fateful meeting in Paris in the spring of 1919 during the Peace Conference that makes her understand what four years of hard fighting has been about.… (mere)

This book was a disappointment from start to finish. It sounded as if it was going to be a great read, but it was so poorly executed it failed miserably. ( )

Soooo disappointing. The description / premise sounded so promising, I was really looking forward to reading this book. The main character, Dora, was not very likable. Actually most of the characters came across as just plain foolish. It was a good idea, just very poorly executed. ( )

I got this as part of the ER program, and probably wouldn't have bought this on my own. It was an okay read for a quiet day, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. ( )

This is a story of survival from the Lusitania. A story about a conspiracy about why the Lusitania was torpedoed and the aftereffects of that, particularly on one person, Dora, who is haunted by some strange people in both England and America.

Dora was a bit of a brat throughout and didn't appear to learn from her mistakes but compounded them, not offering any support to the men in her life fighting on the front.

It didn't quite grasp me but wasn't a bad read. ( )

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from reading this book and as it turns out, my first opinion was the right one. The story is about Dora who tries to find out why the Lusitania was sunk during the first world war. It was an interesting plot but I feel the authors didn't develop it enough. Some of the writing appeared very simplistic and to be quite honest I still have no idea what age group this is aimed at. I believe that this may be a series so, if it is to be successful I think the authors really need to sit down and develop both their storylines & character profiles in more depth. ( )

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible . . .
