It hit, the boat shook. Then the explosion. The other half of the boat blew up. I grabbed my bag and got to the top deck. I saw us sinking. All the chaos everything just going down. Everyone running, every thing hectic. I decided just to jump. The 40 foot dive was the longest time of my life. I hit the water so cold, so crisp and piecing at my skin. I see the boat going down under water.
All the men at the windows looking out. They are going down while I’m just sitting there looking. The faces just looking, knowing their fate. The look of despair knowing what will happen.
I looked back knowing that I was lucky. The ship went down, now the waters calm. The water so flet like nothing had happened. Then the bubbles came up escaping the grip of death. They had been lucky unlike the men on the ship. I was new on the ship not having any friends but I could the feel grief for my fellow shipmates. I knew that the ordeal wasn’t over for me. I still had to find a recue ship and get to land.
I sat on the top of the water looking at the top of the water. Suddely the water turned black. It was oil,” Oh crap”, I thought to myself. The fighting was stilll going on, and with a shot from an enemy palne the water would ignite and set the ocean on fire.
Have you ever thought that you could have prevented something from happening? Ever thought you could have done some thing in the world to prevent? In this book he did something. Duncan is 17 year old, between sophomore and junior year of high school. He lives in Toronto, Canada, in the “Jungle” apartment complexes. His summer job is the in “The Dungeon” of the Toronto lost and found (for the stuff people leave on the buses and the subway trains). He’s found a diary; it’s a plan to do harm. A man has planned, stalked and about to execute. He got to prevent it.
This book reminded me of 9/11, bringing the best and worst out of people. But this reminded me specifically about United 93. The people sitting their thinking,” What’s just happened what’s happening? What is this?” Then realizing where their headed, the White House or other targets around the US. They then got the courage to make a plan and execute it in less than 4 hours. They sacrificed there lives so then others could live. They thought it was better if other people lived other than them.
This also brought me back to timing is everything. My grandpa died the day before Valentine’s Day this year. I cried on what was supposed to be the most loving time of the year. In my book they get luck break from timing. But also they almost get something from timing. I also had my other grandparents get in a horrific car crash 5 days later. Luckily they didn’t get killed. They did get badly injured though. That was the worst timing in the year that that could of happened.
I would recommend this book who likes action and mystery books. I also recommend this book to anyone who likes happy endings. Don’t read if you like super long books with nothing interesting. This is one of the best books that I have read. You can’t not like this book it is amazing.

Frank woke up to the sound of foot steps. “Frank, Frank Holwater?” A man yelled out. Frank tried to hide in his sleeping bag. The man opened the tent flap. “Frank come out of your sleeping bag,” the man explained. “I can’t see you so you can’t see me,” Frank explained. “That doesn’t work kid, I know who you are and I can tell you about your parents if you come with me,” “Really, okay one sec I have to put my pants on,” Frank never slept with pants on only boxers. He grabbed his jeans put them on a ran out of the tent. He wws surpised to see only one man. ” Let’s go,” Frank felt a peicing pain in his neck, the next thing he knew was on the ground.
