Summary

"The ship's prow pointed down toward the deep. It looked as if the ship's nose would hit the seabed hundreds of feet below. Green waters swallowed the decks, devouring the remaining passengers who had been clinging to her to the last second. With an audible groan the ship turned over onto its starboard side and disappeared. 'Dear God!' Dora thought. 'It couldn't have been more than a few minutes since I left the engine room after the first explosion sounded and rattled the decks . . . fifteen or at most twenty . . . no more . . ..'" What was behind the second explosion that finally sank the Lusitania after it was torpedoed by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915? Dora is about to find out in a tale that spans the First World War from May 1, 1915 to the bitter end in Paris in 1919. Her experiences take her from the Irish Sea to the battlefields of Gallipoli to the Arab Revolt of Lawrence of Arabia and span three continents. Dora must find her own hard won peace. Those Who Dream By Day is the first of a series. The second volume, The Seven-Pillared House, will soon be available from Cheops Books.
