The high-octane thriller that inspired the Academy Award-winning film. On a sinking cruise ship, passengers fight rising water—and each other—to survive.
On its maiden voyage, luxury ocean liner SS Poseidon is capsized by a massive undersea earthquake. A handful of survivors must fight for their lives—struggling to make it from the upper deck of the ship to the hull, the only part above water, before the ship sinks. Faced with rising water and the violence of desperate passengers and crewmembers, the group must do everything it can to survive—before time runs out. Adapted into an award-winning film by Irwin Allen, The Poseidon Adventure is a thrilling tale with timeless suspense and excitement.

Quotes

  • nataliabakhmutovahas quoted4 years ago
    Poseidon was now farther down by the head, so that the upturned keel slanted perceptibly. Only the indomitable Germans still held connection with her. Their lifeboat towing the strand of rope, now doubled, had reached the side of the freighter and was being taken aboard. There was something ridiculous yet courageous about that absurd line snubbing her sternpost.
    The sight only irritated Rogo who said, ‘I hope she takes ’em all with her when she goes. They murdered my buddy at Bastogne.’

    The great and potent deity, Bacchus, had looked after his own again.
