The Vision

On the night of 26 November 2008, terrorists stormed Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Among those trapped inside was British tycoon Andreas Liveras. By dawn, he would find himself at the centre of a tragedy that shocked the world.

From humble beginnings in Cyprus, Andreas built his first fortune in England before rising into the glamorous, high-stakes world of super yachts in Monaco, where he became one of the industry’s most powerful figures. Driven by instinct, charm and relentless ambition, he lived a life fuelled by risk and an unshakable belief that nothing was impossible.

Yet behind the glamour and success was a recurring vision he could never outrun.

Told by his granddaughter, Tanya Liveras Candy, The Vision is a gripping work of narrative nonfiction, drawn from survivor testimony, personal interviews and years of research into the historical record. At its heart is a story of love, sacrifice and the choices and convictions that shaped the course of one extraordinary life.

Moving between Andreas’s terrifying final hours inside the Taj and the remarkable journey that led him there, The Vision reveals for the first time the man behind the headlines.
