Description

The Neptune was the largest cruise ship ever built. Twelve hundred feet long. Twenty decks high. Ten thousand souls aboard.

Then an engine room explosion capsizes the luxury vessel during summer break. And with rescue still days away, former Navy SEAL Jim Spencer reluctantly finds himself in charge of the survivors trapped inside the upturned maze.

But the explosion attracted attention from below.

Oceanic whitetip sharks, the most dangerous species for shipwreck survivors, begin invading the dying ship. Bold, persistent, and aggressive, they stalk the survivors across the flooded corridors, and there's no way out that doesn't go through the water.

The ship sinks lower every hour and the ocean keeps no monuments.

Based on real shark behavior and inspired by the USS Indianapolis disaster.

A Note From the Publisher

S.S. Whitetip is a standalone adult horror-thriller, 76,000 words: The Poseidon Adventure meets Jaws. This is the final published text, not a draft. It reads as a disaster-survival thriller first and a creature feature second; the violence sits a notch above Jaws in a handful of scenes, with no body horror. Content notes: shark attacks, drowning, medical trauma, a sacrificial suicide, combat PTSD, profanity, and animal death (sharks killed by survivors defending themselves). If you enjoy it, a cross-post to Amazon or Goodreads would mean a great deal to a debut.

"This is a great shark adventure. The story is fast paced, and you won't be able to put this book down. A fun one for sure!"

"This read very quickly, with characters you wanted to see make it through. The boy who had all the shark facts was a favorite... The story itself was not farfetched and in a crisis on a cruise ship, could happen."
