Liner by Chris Coppel
Morgan McCarthy has to go to work on a Sunday and he is not happy about it. When his computer screen at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Communication Centre gives off an anomaly sensor, he is less than pleased to have to report that. But there is something wrong with sensor No 47, and a dispatch team sets out to rectify the issue. What they find on the ocean floor will leave them baffled, and give them long overdue answers.
David Easton's life is ruined. He has lost everything: His wife, his children, his career, and his apartment. Completely broke and lonely, he decided to end his misery by taking his own life, and he has found the perfect way to do it. He buys a one-way ticket on the most luxurious liner of its time, the Oceanis, and plans to dive into the freezing water in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. What David did not plan for was meeting the lovely, free-spirited Diana Olson. Despite having her over-protective mother watching her every move, she and David manage to fall in love and uncover a life-threatening mystery that plagues the liner and threatens the very existence of the passengers and crew on board.
Will David and Diana be able to piece together the strange and mind-bending happenings onboard the Oceanis in time to save the fabulous liner and the people on board? And will they be able to find the happy ending that David so desperately needs, and Diana wholeheartedly wants?
This is the first nautical fiction I have ever read and Liner by Chris Coppel has turned it into an experience that I will not forget. Liner is exceptional with all the elements needed to create a suspenseful thriller. The characters are well-formed and you experience every emotion with them, making you feel like you know them, and root for them to have a happy ending. Chris Coppel manages to draw you into the horror of everything that is happening on the Oceanis while making you believe in the blossoming romance between David and Diana. The ending was unsuspected and gave the story the dramatic exit it deserves.
I could honestly find nothing wrong with this book. All the characters (David, Diana, Commander Hess, and even Andrew) were well-formed and the story was properly outlined with an immaculate ending. The fast-paced writing style that Chris used worked well for the action and horror unfolding on the liner and made for a suspenseful and dramatic read. There is nothing about this book that I did not enjoy. Everything about it is phenomenal.
I could not find a single error, therefore I believe it was exceptionally well-edited. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.
If you are looking for a fast-paced, nautical thriller, with a mix of love and romance, I will highly recommend that you read this book.
Trigger warning: This work contains themes of suicide.
