Explosion

In December, 1917, Halifax, Nova Scotia suffered the largest human-made explosion before the atomic bomb when two ships, one loaded to the gunwales with munitions, collided in Halifax Harbour. Jeremy Akerman's novel sets the scene through the eyes of admirals and lovers, harbour pilots and telegraphers, those who fought to avert the disaster and those who had no idea what was about to happen to them.
