A famous diving duo turn their investigative skills to the question of why the Titanic sank as quickly as it did, describing how they assembled a team of experts and dived to the wreck of her sister ship, Britannic, and discovered previously hidden flaws.

Bradford Matsen is the author of Descent: The Heroic Discovery of the Abyss as well as many other books abou the sea and its inhabitants. He was a creative producer for the television series The Shape of Life, and his articles have appeared in Mother Jones, Audubon, and Nature, among other publications. He divides his time between Seattle and New York City. John Chatterton and Richie Kohler contributed to the research of Titanic's Last Secrets, as they did for Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers, the 2005 Book Sense Nonfiction Book of the Year.
A nagging question about the sinking of the TITANIC is why the ship went down so fast. The authors, experienced wreck divers, explore the theories and visit the wreck, and its sunken sister ship, to find answers. The book also includes extensive technical history of the ship and the original investigation of the sinking. Henry Leyva does a workmanlike job with the narration. His clear voice is easy to listen to, a quality that is especially important in the technical passages. He occasionally adopts an accent for speakers, but only ones he can do well, so the technique doesn't seem forced. Leyva also captures the excitement and awe of wreck-diving.
