Book Description
In this thought-provoking and lyrical debut novel, a young woman's only hope for survival in the dystopian future is a ship, a Noah's Ark, that can rescue 500 people. London burned for three weeks. And then it got worse. . . Young, naive, and frustratingly sheltered, Lalla has grown up in near-isolation in her parents' apartment, sheltered from the chaos of their collapsed civilization. But things are getting more dangerous outside. People are killing each other for husks of bread, and the police are detaining anyone without an identification card. On her sixteenth birthday, Lalla's father decides it's time to use their escape route -- a ship he's built that is only big enough to save five hundred people. But the utopia her father has created isn't everything it appears. There's more food than anyone can eat, but nothing grows; more clothes than anyone can wear, but no way to mend them; and no-one can tell her where they are going.

Book Description
The first book in a seafaring fantasy trilogy that George R. R. Martin has described as “even better than the Farseer Trilogy—I didn’t think that was possible.” Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships—rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtown’s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia. For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Althea’s young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the Vivacia, the ship is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship—and the Vestrits—may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will. Don’t miss the magic of the Liveship Traders Trilogy: SHIP OF MAGIC • MAD SHIP • SHIP OF DESTINY

Book Description
At the turn of the twentieth century a race was on between the European shipping companies to build the largest liners in the world. From Cunard had come the Mauretania and Lusitania, from White Star the Olympic, Titanic and Britannic and from the Hamburg Amerika line came Albert Ballin's trio of liners; Imperator, Vaterland and Bismark. The first of these three Hamburg Amerika liners was, when launched, the largest ship in the world, capable of carrying 5,000 passengers in varying qualities of accommodation from emigrants in steerage to millionaires in her suites. Imperator had a short useful life of only one year before war started in 1914. Docked for the duration she was, at the end of the war, passed to the British Government and sold to Cunard as a replacement for the ill-fated Lusitania. Recomissioned and overhauled she became the flagship of Cunard and was renamed Berengaria, after Richard the Lionheart's wife. She joined her new consorts, Aquitania and Mauretania on the Atlantic shuttle service and was a common sight on the Atlantic for the next seventeen years. Sent for scrapping in 1938, she was broken up to the keel by 1939 and the hull was scrapped after the Second World War.

Book Description
In the one short year of life allotted to it, the carrier Hornet placed itself in the illustrious company of such ships as the Constitution, the Merrimar, the Monitor, Admiral Dewey’s Olympia, and the iron-clad Oregon. Untried and still on her shakedown cruise, the Hornet was plunged into the Battle of the Pacific with orders to defend by attack while the main power of the Pacific fleet was being resurrected from Pearl Harbor. How she did it is attested by her casualty lists at Midway, her raids on Japanese supply lines, her breathless ferrying job to within 800 miles of Japan with Doolittle’s bombers. She left the wreckage of 18 enemy ships and countless enemy planes behind her in the course of her short career. Alexander R. Griffin tells his throbbing story with restraint and true affection. It is an adventure narrative that out-thrills fiction. “This book is a distinct addition to the literature of the war. It tells a magnificent story in sharp and realistic fashion; and all the officers and men aboard the Hornet throughout her career are given their just due. It is from books like this that the American public must piece together the real history of the war.”—Lincoln Colcord, The New York Times Herald Tribune “A swift-paced narrative of history and humor, of biography and battle of salt-spray, tropical dawns and fighting young yankees...it is one long spectacle of action from the day the Hornet emerged from Hampton Roads on her shakedown cruise to the fateful afternoon of her death thousands of miles distant and over in the Pacific.”—Charles Lee, Philadelphia Record “Here is much naval history that has not been told before. Mr. Griffin, writing from a detached viewpoint, does not get the reader all entangled in the rigging. A SHIP TO REMEMBER is a must for those who like to read their history contemporaneously and get it straight.”—Foster Hailey, The New York Times
