A NIGHT TO REMEMBER by Walter Lord (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

"One of the most exciting books of this or any year." (New York Times)

The unsinkable Titanic was four city blocks long and equipped with the latest safety featuresbut with only twenty lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers and crew on board. Gliding through a calm sea, disdainful of all obstacles, the Titanic brushed an iceberg and left only 705 survivors behind.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

___________________
The unsinkable Titanic was four city blocks long, with a French sidewalk café, private promenade decks, and the latest, most ingenious safety devices but only twenty lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers and crew on board.

Gliding through a calm sea, disdainful of all obstacles, the Titanic brushed an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later, she upended and sank. Only 705 survivors were picked up from the half-filled boats of the ship that God Himself couldnt sink.

Walter Lords classic minute-by-minute re-creation is as vivid now as it was upon first publication sixty years ago. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audio presentation will bring that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of readers.
