High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Poseidon Adventure is an American adventure novel by Paul Gallico, released in 1969. It concerns the capsizing of a luxurious ocean liner, the SS Poseidon, due to an undersea earthquake, and the desperate struggles of a handful of survivors to reach the bottom of the liner's hull before the ship sinks. The book attracted little attention at the time of its first publication. The New York Times gave it a one paragraph review, noting that "Mr. Gallico collects a Grand Hotel (a reference to the 1930 Vicki Baum novel) full of shipboard dossiers. These interlocking histories may be damp with sentimentality as well as brine—but the author's skill as a storyteller invests them with enough suspense to last the desperate journey." In the spring of 2006, Penguin Publishing was set to re-release The Poseidon Adventure in paperback and audio CD formats, in anticipation of Warner Bros' re-telling of the disaster story.
