Signet paperbacks, 1961
A delusional man, he begins to live in a world where his abilities and bravery are much exaggerated; the truth is he is really a coward. Jim joins the rest of the crew in abandoning her, leaving the hundreds of passengers on board to their fate. However, the passengers are rescued--leaving Jim to face the reality that he failed to live up to his delusions.
