"This best-seller adventure was fourth of Cussler's Dirk Pitt series, was originally published in 1976, and adapted into a feature film released in 1980. In the years before Bob Ballard's expedition located the Titanic in 1985, and found otherwise, it was the common conviction of Titanic experts that the wreck would be found in one piece on the sea floor.

Other than this unforeseen gaffe, all the essential historical details known at the time are honored, and add a great deal to the mood of the story that the movie didn't have time for."

"Needless to say, not exactly pertinent to Titanic, but still of interest to Titanic fans as the main prose adaptation of the Douglas Adams game of the same title. The titular Starship Titanic is also mentioned briefly in Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" novel series."
