Maiden Voyage Roger Harvey

The biggest ship...

The greatest love...

The most dangerous secret...



Tyneside, 1904. Elegant Edwardian houses ring to sounds of celebration; in the brutal clang of the shipyards, work begins on what will be the largest and fastest liner yet to cross the Atlantic. While engineers and artists forge an exciting new century, young women like scheming Philippa and warm-hearted Maisie seize opportunities for freedom and romance, and a secret door in Mauretania's exquisite panelling conceals a plan that could change the course of hsitory as Europe marches towards revolution and war. Then the gigantic ship steams for New York at record-breaking speed...and into the gripping climax of this sweeping saga of power and politics, luxury and lust. Laden with passion and intrigue from the streets of Newcastle and the boulevards of Paris to glittering First Class on a stormy Atlantic, Maiden Voyage is your romantic read of a lifetime at full steam ahead.
