The luxury cruise ship Transylvania takes six days to cross the Atlantic - just enough time for the passengers to find their sea-legs and lose their heads.
Whether it's husbands pining for their mistresses back on shore, stewards with a raging cabin fever or mothers sweating to outshine their daughters, they transform the Transylvania into a floating purgatory of Pacific proportions. S.O.S. is Joseph Connolly's brilliant boat-bound comedy, a novel of holiday-makers and holiday-haters running aground on each other's lives and loves. 'Getting away from it all' is hopeless - and hilarious - when you've brought it all on board with you.'In another league altogether. His fans - and there are many - will be pleased to find his trademark style in full swing' Guardian. * Guardian *

'A virtuoso performance' Sunday Times. * Sunday Times *
'A perfect companion to Connolly's other bestselling holidays from hell' The Times. * The Times *
