'Event 2012', a historical science fiction novel by Curt Morelock and co-author, Ray Burke, involves two time-traveling college students from the year 2010.

Randy's dreams of a young and beautiful Victorian lady, beckoning and begging him to come save her, is more than he can bear. They meet the original workers, designers and convince the owner to allow them to work on the great ships. They argue for needed changes, but few are realized, because of the company's arrogance and pride. To complicate matters, Randy is falling in love with Sarah, one of the designer's daughter. In a very strange, but moving love story, he must not reveal the secret of who he is and where he came from. She becomes angry.
