The juxtaposition of rich and poor, the gender roles played out unto death (women first), the stoicism and nobility of a bygone age, the magnificence of the great ship matched in scale only by the folly of the men who drove her hell-bent through the darkness. [...] when the feline ends up on the Titanic - with his owner, Johnny Trott, and a fun-loving heiress named Lizziebeth - will the humans who love him carry him to safety? (HarperCollins) "Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage," by Hugh Brewster: A lively tour through the lives of a handful of noteworthy first-class passengers - some of whom survived, some of whom perished. Among them: millionaires John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim; movie actress Dorothy Gibson; artist and writer Frank Millet; Maj. Archibald Butt, President Taft's closest aide; and Margaret Tobin Brown, who came to be known as "the unsinkable Molly Brown." A conspiracy thriller that pits a German financier, hoping to persuade America to join forces with Germany against Great Britain, against a handsome British Secret Service agent and a beautiful American agent. The story unfolds through the lives of 12 people caught in the disaster, including a ship captain, a domestic servant and a wireless operator.
