<b>'Gripping... The authors skillfully capture the fear and claustrophobia. A riveting real-life drama.' <i>Kirkus</i><br><br>'<i>Cabin Fever</i> is riveting, taut, and extensively researched.

Martin Dugard, #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling </b><b>author of <i>Taking Paris</i></b><br><b><br><i>'</i>A gripping account of how an invisible stowaway - the Covid-19 virus - transformed a fun-filled luxury cruise into an unimaginable nightmare.' Sara Gay Forden, bestselling author of <i>House of Gucci</i></b><br><br>In early 2020, the world was on edge. An ominous virus was spreading and no one knew what the coming weeks would bring. Far from the hotspots, the cruise ship <i>Zaandam </i>was preparing to sail from Buenos Aires loaded with 1,200 passengers - British, American, Australian, European and South American tourists, plus 600 crew. Most passengers were over the age of 65.<br><br>There was concern about the virus in the news but that was oceans away. Escaping to sea at the ends of the earth for a few weeks seemed like it might be a good option. The cruise line had said the voyage would go ahead as scheduled and it would be safe. <br><br>Within days, people aboard the <i>Zaandam</i> began to fall sick. The world's ports shut down. <i>Zaandam</i> became a top story on the news and was denied safe harbour everywhere. With only two doctors aboard and few medical supplies to test for or treat Covid-19, and with dwindling food and water, the ship wandered the oceans on an unthinkable journey.<br><br><i>Cabin Fever</i> is a riveting narrative thriller, taking readers behind the scenes of the ship's complex workings, and below decks into the personal lives of passengers and crew who were caught unprepared for the deadly ordeal that lay ahead. It is a story layered with moments of peril, perseverance and kindness. A remarkable tale that is filled with individual acts
