About this audiobook

Recipient of the Christy Award from the Christian Booksellers Association, A Ship Possessed pits superhuman powers against one man's courage and faith. Fifty years after it was lost at sea, the USS Triggerfish washes up on the California shore. When retired Navy Captain J.D. Stanton is called into duty to investigate, he begins to see disturbing evidence that someone, or something, is aboard the curiously well-preserved World War II submarine. But the Navy is not the only one interested in it. A madman bent on world domination is focused on the ship, too. Stanton must ask for great spiritual strength to repel the evil confronting him.

    When the diver, who was introduced to the reader and given a short backstory, was torn to pieces two pages later by the submarine motor driven by demonic forces, and in his own POV to make it more bloody, this book seemed more like a horror story than anything else. I fail to see how reading about demons and supernatural forces committing violent acts is helpful to me. Is this supposed to help me grow in my faith? The scene with the spirits visibly backing up evil men with guns had a Christian theme, but using worldly means to do it. It all comes down to this being a horror story, and if I had known that, I would not have picked it up.

    You can read my full review on my blog, decemberjoy.wordpress.comA Ship Possessed takes place off the coastal shore of California and the main character of the book is a ship, the USS Triggerfish. The Triggerfish was a submarine that disappeared back in World War II…but is now back, fifty years later! The arrival of the submarine is full of mystery. What happened to it and where was it for all those years? Better yet, why has it returned? These are the questions J.D. Stanton, a retired Navy captain, is asking. But as he begins his investigation, he is drawn into a whole new world that involves the spiritual; something that Stanton has never encountered before.The story Alton Gansky created is very engaging and it keeps the interest of the reader. I found myself drawn into the story and in the mystery of the ship and those who were aboard her when she disappeared. Throughout the story, Gansky kept the mystery alive by delaying the inevitable opening of the submarine. The suspense of the story was also enhanced by the past which was told in increments; enough insight to guess on possible scenarios but not enough information to know if your assumption would be the correct one.And yes, there were creepy parts…those paragraphs that made you look around your room, just in case. Not enough to terrify me, or to overshadow the possible reality of the story, but an ample amount to keep the supernatural part intriguing. Weird noises, changes in temperature, and seeing things one minute that were not there the next are but a few examples of the haunting of the Triggerfish.
