Publisher's summary

A mysterious man appears aboard the Titanic on its doomed voyage. His mission? To save the ship. The result? A world where the United States never entered World War I, thus launching the secret history of the 20th century.

In April 2012 Joseph Kennedy, nephew of John F. Kennedy, lives in an America occupied in the East by Greater Germany and on the West Coast by Imperial Japan. He is one of six people who can restore history to its rightful order - even though it would mean his death and the deaths of everyone he loves. A magnificent alternate history, set against the backdrop of one of the greatest maritime disasters of the 20th century.

David Kowalski is a medical practitioner, working in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Sydney, Australia. He has published numerous articles in various medical journals and textbooks. The Company of the Dead is his first novel.

Fun Romp. Meandering Story.

This creative alternate history is ideal for Titanic, Civil War, and alternate history/sci fi fans. Lots of details give an air of authenticity to the alternate history, however large sections (especially of the middle) are so overly descriptive that the story really bogs down. The payoff is substantially diminished as a result.

Sailing into an alternative history


I admit to bias as I love alternative history, historical fiction & extremely long books. Maybe because of these reasons, I really liked this author's writing. I plan to read it again, as I know I will find even more reasons to like this book. It was a great listen for me so I will come back later & read it again.
