The world ended while they were on vacation.
Now four thousand people are stranded at sea.
And survival may depend on who controls the ship.
Carter Davis boarded the luxury cruise liner Palisade Meridian expecting seven days of sunshine and family time with his wife and three kids.
For the first twenty-four hours, it’s perfect.
Then the world goes silent.
The internet dies. News broadcasts freeze. Fragmented radio calls begin naming cities struck by massive explosions across the globe. With communication collapsing and major ports potentially destroyed, Captain Elias Rane makes a chilling decision: the ship will not return to land.
Now four thousand frightened passengers are trapped in the middle of the Gulf with no clear answers, no safe harbor, and no way home.
As fear spreads and order begins to fracture, Carter realizes the greatest threat may not be the ruined world beyond the horizon.
It may be the desperate people trapped on the ship with him.
