Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book for my friend's son and daughter whom both were fascinated with the tragedy of the Titanic.
This book is written in the spirit of historical fiction. It is based on the anecdotal account of a dog who was on the Titanic and who is said to have - by barking loudly - alerted the rescue ship Carpathia, which at the time was blindly barring down on a lifeboat of survivors drifting in the darkness of the frigid waters of the North Atlantic.
You may find that the style that this story is writen in is a bit unusual. That's because I've written it from Rigel's point of view. He, in fact, is himself the narrator.
