Codex SE is a concerted work of dedicated people who have worked tirelessly to bring this literary publication to the world stage.

The World Codex Planet Poetry publication encapsulates a snapshot of the era shortly after the turn of the 20th century and is a gem of historical maritime poetry. In this recently discovered history, previously unpublished works by celebrities of its day make the doomed publication an echo of the fate of the Titanic herself. Had it not been for the controversy that forced the publication to be shelved, perhaps the world would have recorded history a bit differently. Included among the poems is a firsthand account of how the collection was rescued from the ship shortly before her untimely demise. Later research into the chain of events culminated in a backstory that exacerbated the drama around the onboard Titanic poetry contest.

The Fine Point of His Soul
Summary
He was the shameful cause of his sister Elena's death, and he stole state papers from England, yet Adrian Hart is feted by the best of society in Rome and boldly dubs himself "Iago".
Determined to avenge Elena, his unrequited love, Lieutenant Andrew Sullivan asks the advice of poet and Shakespearean John Keats and his artist friend, Severn. Soon, Percy Bysshe and Mary Shelley join them, then Lord Byron and his servant, Fletcher.
But how can the seven of them work against this man when they can't even agree what he is? The atheist, Shelley, insists that Hart is an ordinary man, while Byron becomes convinced he's the devil incarnate, and Keats flirts with the idea that he's Dionysius....
As death and despair follow in Hart's wake, Sullivan knows he must do something to stop Hart before even Sullivan himself succumbs - but what?
