TERROR ON THE TITANIC A MORNINGSTAR AGENCY ADVENTURE

A breath-taking,
spine-chilling historical fantasy featuring monsters, aliens, and much, much
more! ‘I turned to Genevieve, and my jaw dropped. She was struggling in the
arms of a great beast. The creature’s head was snake-like, its tongue long
and forked, a single eye, slit-pupilled, in the centre of its forehead. It
opened its great mouth as if it meant to swallow her alive’ In 1912, when
Nathaniel Brown, an agent with the Morningstar Agency, boards the Titanic,
his mission is simple: he must prevent the Eye of Empire, a stolen jewel with
untold powers, from reaching America. Nathaniel is a young man of many
talents, he can speak to animals, and he has incredibly sharp senses and the
skills of many jungle creatures. But between him and the jewel stands guard
the burning-eyed and inhumanly strong Bavarian; and on his trail are the
Parloks, horrific Beasts prepared to tear him to shreds in their quest for
the Eye. With the help of Genevieve, a distractingly beautiful Morningstar
agent with a mysterious past and an assortment of ingenious gadgets,
Nathaniel must overcome all obstacles and complete his mission. For, the fate
of the world hangs in balance. Interesting Facts Samit Basu is India’s
biggest name in science fiction and fantasy. This is his first book for

hold-your-breath-thrilling adventures.’—Wendy Orr, author of Nim’s Island
