The Midnight Watch:  A Novel of the Titanic and the Californian by David Dyer

As the Titanic fired eight distress rockets and slowly sank on April 14, 1912, the Californian sat idly by, just a few miles away.  This is a fictional account of what may have happened on the Californian that night and the resulting fallout for the captain and the second officer of the SS Californian.  This exploration for some valid reason as to why the Californian did not provide assistance to the Titanic fueled the author’s many years of research, while utilizing his own experiences as a lawyer and a ship’s officer to complete this novel.  Overall, this is a very good read and one that will stay with you and is highly recommended for those interested in learning anything more about the Titanic.
