Atlantic Lockdown. Book 1 The Departure: 3,000 Passenger. One Ship. No escape. (en Inglés) - David Royall

Three days into a luxury Atlantic voyage, the passengers begin to realise they are not simply at sea. They are trapped.

Atlantic Lockdown: The Departure is the first book in a tense three-part thriller set aboard a vast cruise ship crossing the Atlantic. What begins as a journey of wealth, privilege and carefully managed glamour soon becomes something darker, as small signs of danger begin to appear beneath the surface.

Passengers arrive expecting fine dining, ocean views and a once-in-a-lifetime voyage. Behind the scenes, however, pressure is building. Security concerns are quietly dismissed. Unusual behaviour goes unnoticed. People with hidden motives move through the ship with purpose.

By the time the truth begins to emerge, it may already be too late.

As the ship sails farther from land, the passengers and crew are drawn into a crisis they do not yet understand. The danger is organised, deliberate and already inside the vessel.

Book 1 introduces the voyage, the key players and the first terrifying stages of a plan designed to turn a luxury cruise into a floating prison.

For readers who enjoy high-stakes thrillers, locked-room tension, political danger, hidden enemies and slow-building suspense, Atlantic Lockdown: The Departure begins a trilogy where every chapter moves the ship closer to disaster.
