The millionaires cruise

Description:

The author's unique take on an actual cruise in 1929 holding 300 millionaires who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. They sail away from their fortunes on the most luxurious cruise ever offered, believing the market could never fail. When they return sixty days later, the stock market has collapsed and their lives have changed. The story presents scoundrels and seducers, entertainers, idealists and other memorable characters. There are picturesque ports of call where drugs, sex and violence come as no surprise. As the market plunges, and fragmented, conflicting headlines create further chaos, the SS Malolo sails on, and as it sails provocative discussions of money, power and democracy enrich the story and test the reader's own beliefs.
