‘The Survivors of the Chancellor’ is a tale of shipwreck, betrayal, and intrigue. Written as journal entries from the perspective of passenger, JR Kazallon, the story starts innocently enough.

A masterful exploration of the lengths that people will go to to survive, ‘The Survivors of the Chancellor’ is a tense and gripping read.
