With its Faustian, Conradian and Biblical echoes, this is a novel that entwines many strands...I am sure Noah's Pact will engage readers as much as it did myself.

Conrad Cryer is only eleven when the RMS Titanic makes its maiden voyage in April 1912. But the traumatic effects of the ship's tragic sinking will mark Conrad's life forever and lead him on a path of vengeance that will affect both everyone he loves and everyone he hates.
NOAH'S PACT is a thrilling and romantic sweep across the first half of the twentieth century. Robbie Book's debut novel tells the story of an ambitious young man, torn between his fierce need for revenge and his deep wish to master the seas and make the world a safer place.

'Period detail is excellent throughout. Whether it's the shipyards of Sunderland, the university settings, the legal proceedings, or the social conventions around courtship and class...it shows.'
