Description:They sparkled with celebrity, the rich and famous of a sumptuous age, and chance brought them together on the Titanic: John Jacob Astor, a man who owned much of New York City, traveling with a pregnant young bride; W. T. Stead, England's greatest muckraker, occultist, theosophist, candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize; Isidor Straus, one-time Confederate agent who had won control of Macy's; Ben Guggenheim, aging playboy, black sheep of a grayish family, encumbered with a disgruntled French mistress; Harry Widener, handsome young American millionaire absorbed in Shakespeare's "The School of Night" and in the rules of poker; Archibald Butt, chief military aide to President Taft, on a mission from Pope Pius X that could alter the peace of the world; Frank Millet, artist and author, cynical of womanhood but a connoisseur of female beauty; Dorothy Gibson, glamorous lm star, looking for love. Titanic sailed through deluded times, carrying these now half-remembered lives with their dangerous baggage. Weaving among them are a famous detective known as "The Thinking Machine," and two secret agents in a contest that presages the coming World War.
