THE LAST CRUISE

Narrator Rob Shapiro's calm, confident tone and perfect pacing set up empathetic characters who are thrown into a life-threatening situation in this new adventure by the acclaimed PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of THE GREAT MAN. Shapiro delivers this high-seas adventure with both deadpan humor and heartwarming emotion. In particular, he captures main character Christine Thorne's independent spirit and razor-sharp mind. The conflicts play out in an opulent setting, the 1950s-vintage ocean liner QUEEN ISABELLA, and lead to a heartbreaking climax. The ship's last cruise, from California to Hawaii, is a not-to-miss listen. R.O. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
